    Which Air Force would you have liked to fly with in WW2

    The Luftwaffe until 1944. They had amazing aircraft. Period. They had fantastic pilots. Period. They had evil and horrible leadership thankfully which eventually sunk them. Plus the Russians on one side, the Americans, Brits, French, Italians and just about everyone else on the other...

    Rise of Flight (WW1 Flight Sim)

    I agree, even with its faults, IL-2 is the bar which has been set. However its starting to show it's age. I'm hoping BoB fixes this, and thus far it's looking as if it will...

    Rise of Flight (WW1 Flight Sim)
