Yeah they've improved spotting in the game immensely after a rocky couple of attempts. The lower res of VR actually helps a bit there as well. The hardest part is ID though where the res does work against it a bit. There is zoom in VR as well which works pretty well. I find it a bit easier than a flat screen overall.

VR absolutely shines for gunnery though, I got a lot more accurate just making the switch. In particular I never really got comfortable with a TrackIR it never felt quite connected in the way VR does.

And then just for immersion its really fun, personally I don't think I could go back. I'm just running it on the Oculus Link with the OG Quest so no worries about lots of hardware needing to be setup. I just plug the cable in, use the hand tracking to start the link and launch into IL2.

Yeah the immersion is surprisingly good - like when I go through a cloud and droplets accumulate on the canopy, my brain gets tricked into thinking I'm smelling moisture.

Yeah particularly with the new clouds, flying between two is pretty magic.
