Game Description
Flight sim IL-2 Sturmovik lands on consoles for the first time - and proves it can still fly like an ace! Strap in for some of the fiercest, most realistic large-scale aerial combat you can find. Undertake 50 of World War II's most dangerous missions over Berlin, Stalingrad, Sicily, Korsun, and in The Battle of Britain. Authentic re-creations of the era's finest warbirds are flanked by stunning environmental backdrops, backed by visible ground support maneuvers, and enriched by a powerful new damage engine. You'll watch bullets tear holes in wings and wings cut trails through the sky, provided you have time to take your eyes off the swarms of enemy planes on-screen.
