Hey folks,

 

I spent some serious time with IL-2: Battle of Kuban and particularly with patch 3.001 before I started to write my review. I decided I wanted to write a review for new players coming in or old players that were used to IL-2: 1946 so that they would have an idea of what this series is all about. I didn't want to hide the few warts that the series still has but I also wanted to put them in context of all of the great things that it does so well.

 

At a little over 4,500 words I think I've captured nearly all of my main thoughts and feelings on the recent final release of the title and I try and cover as much ground as possible. This review isn't so much for you guys as it is for new players coming in. In short, I think IL-2: Battle of Kuban is a crowning achievement for 1CGS and one that points towards a very bright future for the series.

Just a note on AI since 3.0005

I have the feeling the enemies are much more dangerous based on the Velilye Lucki SP campaign

The friendly AI does not follow very well orders, as before and I think it is a big "con" of this game

Yes you are right, the devs are aware of this issue and are working on it. 

The AI behaviour is monitored during Betatest and frequently reported. 

So i have good hopes to See an improved AI in the future.
