Maybe a lot of people play the non-Steam version but I've noticed that hardly any of my Steam friends play IL-2 judging by the Steam stats that I have looked up. It just surprised me when I noticed that.
I played the original IL2 so much I can still hear the voiced radio calls in German and Russian to this day. Never did look at the newer versions, though.
