DESCRIPTION

IL-2 Sturmovik: Forgotten Battles offers all of the planes of the original IL-2 Sturmovik, all of the planes included as free downloads, 30 new planes, 20 new single-player missions, ten multiplayer missions, and five new maps. The original campaign of IL-2 Sturmovik is not included, but the new campaign utilizes all of the existing maps, new maps, and other additional features. New aircraft include the I-153 biplane, the Me-262 (first jet fighter), the FW-190, the Ju-87G (equipped with twin 37-mm cannons), the Hawker Hurricane, the Curtis P-40, the huge TB-3 Soviet bomber, and the P-47 Thunderbolt. The new maps are gigantic — most planes will run out of fuel if they attempt to cross the Finnish Gulf map on one tank. Changes to the control scheme add propeller pitch adjustment, some supercharger options (important for high-altitude flying), and improved engine temperature and drag control. ~ Mark Hoogland, All Game Guide
