Whenever I had the problem you had with your engines it seems the entire enemy air force seeks me out.
LOL
Despite having this game for over a decade (I still have retail versions of IL-2 Forgotten Battles Deluxe and Pacific Fighters) I never played it extensively before. Maybe few single missions here and there, some quick missions and I probably started few "dynamic" campaigns but never finished any. Most missions I flew as a fighter pilot. But this game really shines when you fly ground attack missions.
Recently I started "Burning Ridge" static campaign set in Carpathian Mountains as a IL-2 pilot for the USSR, and I have to say I'm impressed. The fierce ground battles representation is amazing. Ground forces engage each other, tracers flying everywhere, it still looks awesome.
I'm tempted to get the new IL-2 BoS now.
