ABOUT THIS GAME
IL-2 Sturmovik: Battle of Stalingrad is the continuation of the legendary IL-2 Sturmovik series that has set the standard for PC combat flight games for more than ten years. This new entry into the series will offer virtual pilots an even more accurate simulation of the most famous air battles of World War II. Better quality of content, bigger scale, new physics, more realistic aerodynamics and new game elements set this title apart from all which came before. We have only one goal - To give you a New Higher Level of Immersion!
Key Features:
PLAY:
Robust Single-Player Campaign that features a challenging and innovative AI system. Includes an extensive in-game achievement system that allows players to unlock historically based airplane modifications and upgrades as your campaign progresses.
Realistic graphics and unique visual effects: clouds, lightning, tracers, explosions and huge smoke plumes - all of them fully realized to recreate the aerial combat scenery of war time Stalingrad.
Flexible Quick Mission mode that allows you to create your own custom combat scenario in just a couple of minutes.
Classic Multiplayer gameplay with dedicated player controlled servers with your favorite settings for team battles and dogfight duels.
FLY:
Realistic sounds and physics, detailed aircraft systems modeling, advanced aerodynamics and state-of-the-art flight modeling gives you a real sensation of flight.
Become an ace fighter pilot or try your hand at flying attack planes and bombers where you can destroy tanks, trucks, AAA batteries, artillery units and even armored trains.
Control your plane with either joystick or mouse keeping the highest level of simulation fidelity and accuracy.
For those that won’t make it back to base, each plane comes equipped with a handy parachute!
COMBAT:
Hone your skills versus AI or join multiplayer where you can fight in the air or on the ground, manning T-34-76 or Pz III Ausf L tanks.
Control a plane or tank all by yourself or have your friend aim a tank gun or a bomber turret.
Unique and detailed damage model lets you use the pros and cons of various aircraft and tanks to your advantage.
Adjust the tank aiming sights for distance and view the tank interior just as a plane cockpit!
LEARN:
Action takes place on a 358 х 230 km map - The largest and most detailed recreation of the Battle of Stalingrad theatre ever modeled in a flight simulation with unique structures, buildings and landscapes.
Single-Player Campaign scenario follows the real chronology of the battle starting with Operation Uranus on November 19th, 1942 and continues to the complete liberation of the city on February 2nd, 1943.
Ten Legendary aircraft of the era have been thoroughly re-created using original drawings and blueprints from the Central archive of the Russian Ministry of Defence.
Precise simulation of the flight model allows everyone to learn the special character and limits of each and every plane in the game. Use each of their special abilities and performance characteristics to complete your mission and survive the brutal fight.

Not always the case. In the case of Pierre Closterman's account there was a great number of blue on blue engagements in the latter stages of the war where 'trigger happy' American fighters mistakenly attacked Hawker Typhoons as they looked like FW 190's. The situation got so bad that RAF Command sent damning letter to USAF Command to get their pilots to cease, -look first, shoot later. As far as I am aware, friendly fire continued.

Hey Taff, great vid! The FPV footage looked a bit "slo-mo" though, like the physics were slowed down, while the third person shots that I think came from the recording looked fine. I had the same thing happen sometimes when I was still using my 4790k (OCd to 4.7GHz), but that was still back in BoBP days. Might be the CPU not being able to keep up with all the AI controlled units. Have not seen it happen since I changed my CPU to a 5800X, I did however not play this mission yet, so you might also be right with the map not being optimized yet.

When you look up and see a silver plane, you know it is American. When you look up and see no plane, you know it is German Luftwaffe."

That can't be June 6th. I don't see invasion stripes. I call shenanigans on this one. And seriously, for this to be a D-Day scenario, there should be thousands of ships, stretching as far as the eye can see. It might help the invasion if there were actually SOLDIERS in the landing craft, as well. I can see 1C spared EVERY expense to provide absolutely the cheapest, non-immersive environment possible. Since the first amphibious landings were early in the morning, before dawn, the entire beach would be full by the time of this mission. It was great when the Spit was firing at the 190, then the Jug came along, said, ""Hold my beer," and the 190 foled up like a piece of paper.

Taff you badly need to work on your aircraft recognition! You flew right past an FW190 without even recognising it as the enemy, and kept calling FW190s "110s"! The Me 110 is a twin in-line engined heavy fighter with a twin tail - the FW 190 is a stubby winged single radial engined fighter. They are about as different and instantly recogniseable as a teapot and a plate. A bit more concentration that man! See the CO in his office when you land.
@timonsolus
@timonsolus Жыл бұрын
Understandable in an historical context. In early 1944, all the German fighters in the West were busy defending Germany from the US 8th Air Force B-17s and B-24s. The Spitfire pilots didn't have the range to get into that fight, and they flew sortie after sortie over the French coastal regions without ever seeing a German fighter, as the Luftwaffe had basically given up on defending the French coast until D-Day. So the Spitfire pilots were very rusty on dogfighting.
@vipertwenty249
@vipertwenty249 Жыл бұрын
@@timonsolus The RAF made a big deal about aircraft recognition. Stepfather was only a navigator (Wellington bombers) but he like all aircrew were not merely expected - but required - to be good at aircraft recognition. By that point in the war, the RAF fighter squadrons were well experienced, having been engaged on offensive fighter sweeps and raid escort over northern France since June 1941, and having been in combat since September 1939. A fighter pilot showing such poor aircraft recognition as Taff did in the video would have been taken off operations and subjected to intensive retraining until the standard was either met or the pilot sent to be an instructor or fly a desk. Even groundcrew were trained in aircraft recognition, as Ken Mayes, an ex armourer in 19 squadron from 1938 onwards told me some years ago.
