So basically GameSpot rates the older Il-2 and being far better than Il-2: Cliffs of Dover. I'm just not into combat flight sims right now, but my experience with Il-2: Pacific Fighters, Il-2: 1946, then the mods, at least up to UltraPack 2, was actually very good. I'm sure that one day Cliffs of Dover will be good, but it seems to be having a lot of teething problems. Of course, the original Il-2 Sturmovik had problems when it was initially released, hence my sticking with European Air War until Pacific Fighters came out. Guess I'll be sticking with Il-2: 1946 for a while longer.
