C, C++, and a bit of Assembly. Most "good"/FPS games use C mixed with Assembly.

IL-2 Sturmovik was done in Java.

I'm really curious about this. I can see a JRE is installed along with IL-2 Sturmovik but I see no chance in hell the actual game engine was implemented in Java. If I had to guess, I would think a dedicated game server would be Java-based but not the actual game engine. Any thoughts/evidence?

I'm fairly certain a huge number of companies use microsoft visual C++ and just use directx and direct3d libraries. I don't know for sure, but I'd be surprised if many people used assembly for most games. If they do, they probably are writing their own 3d engines.

manly... I'm certainly not the expert on this but, to my understanding, it's all Java.
