To me this game is a valuable addition to an all too small niche in PC gaming, which is the flight game genre, and I am more than happy to see the launch version on my hard drive at last. I bought into it as a ‘founder’ member more than a year ago when early access was opened up, and haven’t regretted that at all. Let me say up front there is a lot to like about this game. It is against the setting of this epic seige from October 1942 to January 1943, that IL2 Battle of Stalingrad from 1C RG Studios, takes place. The Russian army lost 1.1 million men, of which 489,000 were killed. ![]() Half a million German troops were lost in the Battle dead, wounded or captured. The Battle of Stalingrad is widely recognised as the rock against which the previously invincible Germany army broke the tip of its Spear. There was hardly a moment when German aircraft were not overhead…by that time, the 8th Air Army was down to fewer than 200 machines of all types, of which only two dozen were fighters.” – Antony Beevor, Stalingrad. “During six days of fighting from 14 October 1942, the Luftwaffe maintained relays of aircraft attacking river crossings and troops.
