Il2-Sturmovik is a perfect world war 2 simulation. Everything is modelled and with over 200 planes to fly, that is an awesome feat. Consder this, each plane is modelled with amazing detail, the cockpits are AMAZING. You can even cuztomize that skin of your planes by editing the provided VOID.BMP file. Thats a cool thing too.

You can also fly bombers and pilot torpedo bombers! And the multiplayer, OMG, ITS AMAZING. you can dogfight or fly the same bomber with your friends as gunners and you piloting the bomber. You can even be the BOMBER position.
