I loved Falcon 4.0 for its great campaign, never had so much the feeling of being part of a conflict again.
SH3 + 4.
Flying Il-2 online with my squad, however the sometime endless waiting in HL and the constant bickering in the chat drove me away from it.
edit: forgot the X-Wing series, even with it`s scripted missions and the for today poor graphics, it was immersive as hell.

Aces of the Deep. It remains the best realisation of what we, perhaps inaccurately, call a dynamic campaign I've still ever played. On top of that there were a whole bunch of features that leave the modern and far more technically advanced sub sims like the recent Silent Hunter games standing. Best damage management ever, for a start; working wolf packs; 'Be More Agressive!' I remember getting hit bad by escorts and sitting in the mud for 18 hours at the bottom of the St. George channel hoping that my crew could get the pumps working again. our scope and sonar had been destroyed, torpedo tubes were leaking and I thought it was all over. We fixed the pumps and got rid of as much flooding as we could and then, with the oxygen running out and CO2 building up, and without any idea what awaited for us above, I gave the order to blow the tanks one last time...and against all out fears up we went into a still, quiet, moonlit night. Superb.

I came here to post that, I loved the mechanic #%&*$# about the bullet holes in the airplane, talking to your fellow pilots in the pub listening to them, scrambling, shooting down zeppelins. It set the bar for immersion in my sim experiences. ever since that game I have wanted to have a First person story line, run out to an airplane, fire it up and take off in a sim environment. Sadly no one goes for immersion in that regard anymore. I still hold out that Clod will turn out to be a multi role combat game, like wwiionline but not so boring. more like a sim version of BF3, but thats OT Great!!! Someone remembers and has played it. These Origin games were the best. I was blown away by the story. (Strike Commander, Wing Commander, Pacific Strike). Another great game was the F-14 on the C-64, where you had to go through a training (which you could fail!) just to be able to fly the tomcat. Youtube link Loved these early years, we had bad graphics, worse simulation, but huge immersion. Or just getting old, huh?
