IL-2 - The Forgotten Battles
Enhancements
The list of enhancements over the original
IL-2 Sturmovik
is absolutely huge -
note that this is only a very small selection of them:
-
81 flyable aircraft
, 31 of which are new in Forgotten Battles. That's 81 variants on a small number of types, but the devil is in the details, and IL-2 excels in the details, right down to the choice of flying the personal marques of several ace pilots.
-
New Theatre
of Operations - Gulf of Finland
- New AI ground objects and vehicles, new ships. The tanks, truck convoys, anti-aircraft artillery were always impressive in IL-2, now there are more!
Water effects also include reflectivity, splash effects and animated surf
The Torpedo bomber variant of the IL-2 sacrifices all but 2 of its guns.

user-made skins
- It's now easy to apply the paint scheme of your choice to your aircraft.
- Improved
flight dynamics
- What was already a the industry standard for fluidity and fidelity has been improved further.
- More realistic
AI scripting

your radiators, superchargers and fuel mixture control. - Note that like most of the sim options - the option itself is optional! Many players don't want to fiddle with engine management in the heat of battle, but it's there if you want it.

and editor - Record, edit, play back and share your most glorious victories and defeats including selection of camera angles.
-
