The prospect of mastering this "game" seems so much more forbidding than that of any other game I've played that I would have to say it is the most complex I have come across.
I wrote such a guide (~100 pages) on those matters and more exclusively for EAW online air combat; the prop-head's predecessor to IL-2 ... although from time to time I do hear from IL-2ers that still find it useful. If you want a PDF copy, then PM me an email address.
Good hunting!

Epee1,
I acknowledge that trying to follow the tutorial from a manual is difficult. That's why for Battles from the Bulge we have a developed a series of short tutorial movies. These are much easier to follow and cover the basics you need to get into the game. All the best,

What's with the damn attitude? I'm just playing around...

It seems to me you did not read the manual enough times. There is quite a bit of info in there, and unless you have photo-graphic memory, you can't possibly remember it all after one or two readings.
I can't argue with you there. Unlike so many games TOAW III at least has a good manual, although as I think on it, it seems to me that overall wargames have better manuals then other genres of computer games. Even if you have to print it out (HPS), the info generally is there.
One mistake, and you're sliding down the razor blade of defeat, and a dull, rusted, and poisoned blade at that.
