The development team wanted to bring a new level of realism and immersion into this sequel and enlisted the aid of a 91 year old decorated pilot who flew the IL-2 during the Battle of Stalingrad when he was just a 19 year old rookie. To those of us familiar with the mechanics of the original, much will change. It is therefore very fitting that this rebirth of a beloved franchise should bear the name in its title. The only thing missing is the feeling of being pressed into your seat during sharp turns.įebruary 2nd of this year marked the 70th anniversary of the end of the Battle of Stalingrad. As an ex-pilot myself, I can vouch for the feeling of realism this combination gives you. It has become the WW2 flight simulator to which all other games in the genre are compared and during this year’s Gamescom, I was lucky enough to have some hands-on time with IL-2 Sturmovik: Battle for Stalingrad and the Oculus headset.
One of the games best known for its realism in everything from aerodynamics to ballistics is IL-2 Sturmovik.
In the past few years, games have simply had to feature aeroplanes in order to be able to get away with calling themselves “flight simulators.” Being able to climb vertically without stalling, having limited rolling ability, and having to press a button in order to perform special evasive manoeuvres are all features of an arcade shooter brought into the 3D world.
