Hey gents!
I bought IL-2 BOS in 2014 and sprung for the premium edition. I gave it a couple of hours go but never really dived into it much, but my main reason for getting it was because I was practicing A-A dogfights in BMS at the time and was really having fun doing turning fights and guns attacks vs. AI and I thought doing that in WWII birds would help me improve my skill, wrap my head around energy and angles better, and overally get a better appreciation of this aspect of aerial combat. Maybe because it felt like I didn't know what I'm doing, maybe because of the way the sim worked, maybe because I didn't really feel connected with the aircraft, but I didn't play for very long. I must admit that while I recognize some of the aircraft in the sim, I'm not really much of a WWII buff.
I'm hoping to get back and try WWII birds again, but I've noticed most excitement is for the newer Bo[?] modules and not much for BoS. Should I still spend time on BoS? Or is there a better version I should buy?
Is the excitement for Bodenplatte more for the arrival of the P-51/P-47/Spitfire rather than an overall change in simulation quality?
Thanks!
