#IL 2 STURMOVIK BATTLE OF STALINGRAD UNLIMITED AMMO PC#I normally run games I review on my wife’s Win10 workstation, but for this one I needed “Behemoth,” my gaming PC I use to move the international space station on contract with NASA. Hardware requirements are heavy, and they aren’t kidding. Pushing further, if you spring for sister games Battle of Moscow and Battle of Kuban, you can combine all three (plus 1C’s upcoming armored sim, Tank Crew) into a single game and campaign This is a scripted campaign and includes 15 missions, taking about six hours to play, or a lot more if you keep getting killed like me. As an example, one of these is titled Fortress on the Volga and places the player into the cockpit of the BF-109 G2 as part of the German I./JG 52 during September 24th – October 10th, 1942. ![]() Also available are separate mini-campaigns for purchase at $9.99 each. There is also a campaign mode for the entire destruction of the 6th Army debacle and when linked to the Internet, the ability to choose a specific historical German or Soviet squadron and run through the campaign as a career. #IL 2 STURMOVIK BATTLE OF STALINGRAD UNLIMITED AMMO HOW TO#Players can fly individual missions, either drawn from a menu specific to BOS (and including such niceties such as how to take off or land in a crosswind) or quick missions whereby the player selects one of several designated areas on the map and then jumps right in the fight already in the air. The entire map over which BOS runs is the actual period map of the Stalingrad front from 1942, 358 km by 230 km yuge, digitized into game format. The game can be played against the AI or against other players in multiplayer mode. There are also a couple of playable tanks (yes, tanks) thrown in the game for good measure, for free, but more on that latter. Like ROF, other planes that fought in this battle can be added, but they each have to be purchased individually at a cost of $19.99 for most fighters. #IL 2 STURMOVIK BATTLE OF STALINGRAD UNLIMITED AMMO SERIES#For a higher cost there is a premium edition which throws in the German FW-190 A3 and the Soviet La-5 Series 8. The VVS (Voenno-Vozdushnye Sily) counters the Germans with the LaGG-3 Series 29, the Yak-1 Series 69, the IL-2 AM38 Model 1942 and the Pe-2 Series 87.

The software costs $49.99 US and comes with eight flyable aircraft. Using the Digital Nature engine will provide users with a well-functioning product at launch that can be brought to market fairly quickly. It can even support different types of player vehicles from main battle tanks to giant robots. Above all else it is more modular and flexible than the CLOD engine. #IL 2 STURMOVIK BATTLE OF STALINGRAD UNLIMITED AMMO FREE#Besides being relatively bug free and well-functioning, it has advanced physics, realistic flight-modeling, progressive damage modeling, complex ballistics, detailed environmental modeling, detailed terrain modeling and superb graphics rendering. The Digital Nature engine is an advanced game engine that has been developed over several years and powers ROF with great results. Nevertheless, its clear that 1C found their own CLOD game engine inferior to Digital Nature and this drove the linking of the two firms. This is why the 1C logo appears on the ROF Website and why IL-2 BOS has a distinctly ROF presentation. This happened in December 2012, whereby the merger between 1C and 777 became 1C Game Studios. The Russians took note and eventually decided drop support for their latest IL-2 iteration, White Cliffs of Dover, proposing a partnership with 777 Studios. When ROF was released it shook up the sim world due to its use of a new advanced game engine called Digital Nature. If ya can’t beat ’em, join ’em over Stalingrad While neither officially or technically the case, from a purely practical sense IL-2 Sturmovik is now part of 777 Studies Rise of Flight (ROF) franchise. Well, whoa! Let me say that again, whoa! Things have changed big time and oddly enough it seems to be because of a flying beagle and his quest to down Manfred von Richthofen. I was initially going to pick up Battle of Moscow because it included one of my favorite aircraft, the Polikarpov I-16, but then I saw the Bruce Willis flick Air Strike and said, uh, no. I thought it a bit pricey and paid little attention, but then it went on sale, so I decided to pick the game up. A series of add-ons and expansions made the game a franchise, with the IL-2 Great Battle Series commencing on 22nd November 2014 offering IL-2 Sturmovik Battle of Stalingrad. Designed by then Russian developer Maddox Games (and published today by Russian computer game company 1C), the software was universally hailed for its gorgeous graphics and intense realism. ![]() The World War II flight sim IL-2 Sturmovik has been around since 2001. ![]()
