Hi what are the best air combat games at the moment

Ww2 and modern fighters

Thanks

IL2 1946 is my preferred but IL2 Cliffs of Dover has the spangly graphics you probably want.

WW2, I don't play modern games I find them generally too complicated.

WW1 , rise of flight

WW2 , IL2-1946 is the best , dont bother with IL2: COD unless you get it for about £5 and even then you probably wont play it much

Modern , DCS World with A10C module is a lot of fun , the KA50 (helicopter) is also a lot of fun

Unfortunately, the best cinematic arcade style modern fighter sim is on the PS3 or 360, and will probably never come to the PC. Apart from emulators in the years to come

Ace Combat Assault Horizon (PS3 and 360) and Ace Combat 6 (360 only) are IMO the best modern jet fighter games ever. Far better than anything the PC can offer. Dont go anywhere near the Hawx series, it sucks big time.

Fingers crossed the next Ace Combat game (if there will be one) will come to PC, but I doubt it.
