I wholeheartedly agree...
right now, I'm a console player. I just don't really get along with all the shenanigans required for PC play. However, if this game or the DCS WWII actually make it, and do well, I'll probably put it on my desktop. The desktop I need already needs really good graphics cards and high memory, so running these games will be easy. Worst case scenario, I'm debating on just getting the original IL2. With all the decades of mods, patches, and updates, it's a pretty solid game, whereas these may have some issues, especially on their maiden flight.
