Country:  | Which Sturmovik to buy?
Hi All,
I was looking at purchasing Sturmovik due to recent recommendations from friends. However when looking to buy it, I see there are so many options. I was thinking just to buy the most recent one, which I think is 1946? But is it better to buy a different one? Do they add on to each other, or is each a completely seperate game? Would it be worth buying the older ones? I tried searching but couldn't really find any good threads on this though I'm sure they're out there.

Country: | Buy 1946 but be sure it is the COMPLETE version and not the upgrade. If you buy the upgrade, you will have to also purchase IL-2.

I'm not much of a gamer either but I love it. The customizable features are perfect for any skill level...
One of my favorite scenarios is to fly a IL-2 with extra pod cannons and unlimited ammo. I then will attack 10 Me-323's with no ammo... it's great fun to watch them explode.
It's also fun to fly a FW-190 and slice through c-47's... when your done you can attack trains and trucks.
I have a good friend of mine whose a pilot and he thinks it takes a lot of getting used to. It takes practice to do well in a dog fight.

But the biggest problem for me is the time...with a 5 years old boy and 3 months old daughter... few times I got in troubles with my wife when she caught me sitting at the PC shooting at Bf´s . Anyway, gotta say she´s right.
So I had to give it up and since that I have time only for forum and e-mails...
But thanks to giving up playing with that sim my wife allowed me to spent some money on visiting this year´s Flying Legends in Duxford...Good change, isn´t it?

Country:  | I have Logitech Force3DPro, it even shakes while firing the guns and already lasted for 3 years, quite a feat. It was about 30 euro's back than, so probably cheaper in the US
