 * Ive added the 46 list, A definitive list needs to be created. Ghostieguide 23:14, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

Stand-alone?
Is IL2 1946 a stand alone game or expansion pack? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 66.66.212.175 (talk) 19:48, 3 April 2007 (UTC).

Standalone, including all previous releases. Ghostieguide 23:17, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

BoB
When is BoB released? Does it yet deserve an article to itself? Drutt 05:36, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Article now exists. Drutt (talk) 16:32, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Or does not. Why was this removed? Drutt (talk) 08:48, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

It's back up again: Storm of War: Battle of Britain. 2fort5r (talk) 20:17, 2 August 2009 (UTC)

Flyable Aircraft
The list is false. In the original game (IL-2 Sturmovik) there are only 11 flyable planes with multiple variants of the same plane. They are all single engine aircraft. --Haizum   μολὼν λαβέ 20:34, 20 July 2007 (UTC)


 * I don't think that's a good reason for a dispute tag, it says under the heading that the list is correct for the '46 pack. The list is exactly what it purports to be. 121.45.163.212 10:53, 5 August 2007 (UTC)


 * The list includes all aircraft flyable in the 1946 pack. That is what the title states, therefore the list is correct. Brophmeister 03:28, 13 August 2007 (UTC)


 * I've modified the list because of some inconsistent naming of the flyable aircraft. Example: Before it said "A-20C Douglas\Havoc", but in fact also the A-20G version is flyable. Another slight error is that the Gloster Gladiator was named "Gloster J8 Gladiator" in the Allied list of aircraft, but "J8" is the Swedish designation of the model Gloster Gladiator Mk.I. This means that firstly; the J8 designation should not be included in the Allies list, and secondly; the designation "J8" should be "J8A", because that is the correct variant of Gladiator (Mk.II not Mk.I) used by the Swedish Airforce at that time. (Those aircraft were flown in the Finnish Airforce as volunteers, therefore the game counts them as Axis) The list should maybe be modified again, and either include all variants of flyable aircraft or include no variants at all. Also, "nicknames" that Axis forces had given Allied aircraft should be entered in as great extent as possible, as the current list sports almost exclusivly Allied nicknames given to Axis aircraft. 79.138.209.216 (talk) 10:32, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

Screenshot?
Why is a game about a legendary Sovietplane illustrated with a screenshot of a Nazi aircraft? I find it inappropriate and even insulting. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.226.11.25 (talk) 16:45, 13 February 2009 (UTC)


 * I'm not sure why it's insulting, but you are free to upload a different screen shot. I personally think it would be better to have a picture of the box cover in the infobox and put the screen shot somewhere in the article.  swa  q  17:05, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

Mods?
This game has been modded for well over a year, and has a sizable modding community. The mods have replaced most stock sounds, and made another several dozen planes flyable by human players. Recently, many brand new maps - such as a complete map of the The Slot in the Solomon Islands - have been created by the mod community. Do you think it should have a mention in here? Is there a policy for such things on official game pages like this re: hacked/modded etcc? Just curious. I could write a section if deemed appropriate. Cheers Dustysquareback (talk) 03:09, 17 February 2009 (UTC)
 * I think it would be appropriate, particularly since Maddox himself has expressed his thoughts on the mods. Petter Bøckman (talk) 14:31, 2 August 2009 (UTC)

Aircraft list error
I should point out that the Heinkel 177 is not in the flyable aircraft list in the '46 version. Is there any reason it's on this list? 71.191.50.37 (talk) 22:06, 1 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Has it been added in a patch? Otherwise it's a mistake. 2fort5r (talk) 00:37, 2 October 2009 (UTC)
 * I see modded planes on that list (B-29, B-17). Only official planes should be listed here. 2fort5r (talk) 04:12, 2 October 2009 (UTC)
 * I agree, only official planes should be on the list. Modded planes should be in it's own list, if listed at all. Petter Bøckman (talk) 07:09, 3 October 2009 (UTC)

Splitting off to IL-2 Sturmovik (video game series)
It seems like most of the article right now actually discusses the series, and not the first game itself. I recommend splitting that content off to a separate article about the series. Only problem is, I'm not quite sure what would be retained in the IL-2 Sturmovik article, as right now it mostly discusses the sequels. — daranz [ t ] 07:40, 5 November 2012 (UTC)
 * ​ I have started a draft for the split at User:Daranz/IL-2 Sturmovik (video game series). Still some work to be done on it, mainly with citing sources. — daranz [ t ] 00:33, 7 November 2012 (UTC)
 * ✅ The series article is now at IL-2 Sturmovik (video game series) — daranz [ t ] 08:50, 8 November 2012 (UTC)
 * It is at IL-2 Sturmovik (series). Cheerio. Kintaro (talk) 12:34, 13 December 2019 (UTC)
