Anything from starting the engine to setting the power level, you’ll need to not only be aware of where these controls are located but also of all the functionality available. With different functions spread over the mouse, joystick, and keyboard it won't be uncommon to find yourself pausing the game, looking at the key reference sheet in an attempt to locate some specific command. The control complexity can best be noted by the 130 plus control options available. Nothing happens automatically and finding the correct controls and using them in the right order is the first challenge to overcome. This is where the training mode applies, helping to create simple missions that allow you to become comfortable with the controls and what it actually takes to successfully fly these old fighters. It doesn’t take long to realize this isn’t a game where you’re going to be able to start missions and be effective. One that you won’t want to miss is the training mode. IL-2 Sturmovik offers a number of different options to select before starting. Be warned however as this game is also extremely technical and understanding simple aeronautics is practically required to be effective. Although it may take some time to get comfortable flying these machines, if you stick with it you’ll be rewarded with one of the most detailed and engaging flight simulators on the PC.
Those, however, who are more interested in the gameplay will also be pleased as significant attention was placed here with impressive results.Īdding a touch of variety, there are thirty-one flyable aircraft from Russia, Germany, and the United States with forty other types of aircraft to engage. With missions based on actual battles fought during World War II and plenty of historical reading to compliment them, any history buff will be instantly attracted. Ubi Soft makes this attempt with IL-2 Sturmovik and actually achieves that balance for the most part. Ending up with a product that not only is playable and accurate but also entertaining, however, can be close to impossible. Recreating the feel of World War II dogfights is quite a difficult undertaking.
