if I buy deluxe, will I get everything that this game has?

[Lep]

Every DLC and if I do plan to buy the standard edition( for 11 euros), is it worth it?

[ItsBillyFrazier]

The Premium edition includes 2 collector planes. The standard game does not include the 2 collector planes.

You can get further details here about the different moudules of the series etc:

I recommend buying the game direct from the developer website.

You're telling me it takes 50 euros to get most of the content?

[-OrLoK- Слава Україн]

you have to pay for content.

each standard dlc unlocks 8 different flyable aircraft .

deluxe adds 2 extra at a discount

grab what you can in the sale.

well worth it.

I've spent around €130 on the series so far, but all I've NOT got are 5 collector's planes, they're ones I'm not interested in, but I have all others, and all "for sale" campaigns, and I've downloaded around 18 free ones from the forum, as well as the campaign generator. Well worth it.

Yeah you will get 2 collector planes with deluxe edition. The FW 190 A3 and the LA-5. I think its worth it because the LA-5 is a pretty good plane in my opinion. But i dont like that u can't buy the deluxe version for other DLC's like "Battle of Moscow" etc.

This is a proper simulator, not an arcade game like Warthunder. The price of IL-2 is on par with what simulators cost.

well there are literally 6 games here that are generally release bi yearly. Unlike call of duty they chose to release them together and continue to update the older moduels. What i recomend is picking which battles you want and buying off of the website because battle of kuband and battle of bodenplatte are NOT a dlc. They are sepparate games.

There are a variety of battles that are represented and its your job to pick which battle interests you. You then buy it and get all of the planes of that battle. The delux edition includes the 2 collector planes for exclusively that battle. Every singe game has a delux edition. Battle of bodenplatte has a dexlux edition and so does battle of moscow and battle of stalingrad

If you want to buy everything it will probibly be hundreds of dollars even with the sale. But againg this is like buying the entire call of duty franchines. Battle of stalingrad alone has hundreds of hours of content and the other moduels have also hundreds of hours of content. When you pack them together its literally years worth.

So get the ones that interest you. Don't go buying all of them all at one time

OK

If you buy on at the publisher's website, each of the "Battle of..." titles are a standalone title. You can skip Battle of Stalingrad completely if you want, but then you won't be able to launch from Steam. Pros: more content is available at website than on Steam; and your IL-2sturmovik account can be linked to your Steam account's Battle of Stalingrad for a merged 'sandbox' style play. The merge can also include the "Battle of Normandy" early access content like the upcoming P-47D-22 if you purchase the Normandy theater. Cons: there is a small surcharge fee on purchases made at the website.

If you purchase on Steam, then Battle of Stalingrad is THE main sim and everything else is DLC to buy separately. Pros: you won't pay the few cents additional international fee that buying through publisher's website will add. Cons: some of the series content is not available on Steam yet.

The best of both worlds is to buy 'Battle of Stalingrad Deluxe' on Steam while it is on sale for $19.99 USD because you'll get the two additional collector planes for $7.50 instead of $10, had you bought them as individual DLCs; and won't you won't pay the additional international fee charged at the publisher's website store.

You can also add any or all of the Steam DLCs "Battle of Moscow" ($12.49), "Battle of Kuban" ($12.25) and "Battle of Bodenplatte" ($24.99). Note that each of these DLCs are the basic version so you won't get these six aircraft as flyables: P-40 and MC.202; Spitfire Mk. VB and HS-129 B-2; and P-38J and Fw 190D-9. If you really want some or all of these 'collector planes' you can save a few dollars more by purchasing the deluxe versions of particular theaters at the publisher's website. (Example, Bodenplatte Deluxe purchased from the website will save you $5 over buying Bodenplatte DLC and its two collector planes separately on Steam.)

The "Blazing Steppe" and "Fortress on the Volga" DLCs are mission packs. They are interesting but not required because the game comes with a single-player campaign career generator.

The Flying Circus Vol. 1 DLC is World War One aircraft.

Anyway, I bought it and I didn't like it. It was basically like the old game that was released in 2006, but with graphic tweaks.

There's a ton of differences and quite a few upgrades, including significantly upgraded flight model and physics.. but it's still a flight sim. What were you expecting?

Graphics improvements, flight model improvements, damage model improvements. I mean at its core yea its exactly the same. Just like every other combat flight simulator. If you weren't a fan of the 90s then you really will find nothing today that is a flight simulator that you like. They all are just improvements to what we had in the 90s in terms of physics and graphics. thats it.

edit: still waiting for a game to get a dyamic campaign like the one in falcon 4. That was absolutely amazing and yet no one has done it since. I mean Eagle Dynamics has been promising it literally since they released Lock On: Modern Air Combat in 2003. Not that i expect that from il2 given that il2 is a wwii simulator and those battles are kind of already set in stone and career does give us the day in a life feel.

+1. BoX series reminds me so much of how I felt playing CFS 2, anything from Rowan or Microprose. And that's a good thing.

We do have a complete lack of good survey sims these days. Things like Strike Fighters 2 and European Air War. We either have full on sim like IL-2 and DCS, or arcade stuff.
