IL-2 - The Forgotten Battles reviewed at MiGMan's Flight Sim Museum




IL-2 - The Forgotten Battles The original IL-2 Sturmovik enabled the player to get some 'virtual experience' of what it must have been like for pilots flying in the Soviet and German airforces on the Eastern Front in World War 2. It did this while setting new standards for the fidelity of flight models and realism of the perspective and speed portrayed in the graphics. IL-2 Forgotten Battles sets a new standard in the quality of sequels. PC games in general have led us in recent years to expect from sequels a bunch of missions that, two days after purchase, leave you looking at the end credits and thinking "I paid 50 bucks for that???" In contrast IL-2 Forgotten Battles, if it's your cup of chai, will still have you turning and burning 2 years down the track, as you work your way through the hundreds of included missions, play online and enjoy the publisher's updates and user-created extras.		The in-cockpit map adds modern functionality to the sim without disrupting the period feel. Check out the walled city with detailed docks in the distance and fully animated surf and wave effects.
