Certainly the old school fans will highly appreciate that the developers have worked for years to hone the precise implementation of flight characteristics of old bombers. Honestly, the simulation mode is probably more of a respectful nod to the hardcore fan base than a doable thing for the masses. Simulation mode can only be mastered by masochists or real pilots - at least I have not managed to even unlock it. Realistic mode asks you to have some deeper knowledge of flying to actually play. Somebody who also successfully completes the optional training missions, will be rewarded with realistic mode and simulation mode. However, this is almost always the case with flight simulators. But despite that beginners will need a while until they get used to the controls. This mode will suit almost any regular player to enter directly without major hurdles into dogfight. With the basic training the arcade mode unlocks, a convincing package with simple controls. The flight instruction is not only instructive, but also defines the degree of difficulty to be used throughout the game. The numerous diary entries and cutscenes give the unnamed hero a face - and especially the many original recordings from the war years provide an authentic, often oppressive atmosphere.
We must cooperate in preventing just that and also fight back in five other campaigns too.īefore the actual game starts, there are some well-crafted (and badly needed) flight training missions. Germany overwhelmed Europe with the Blitzkrieg and wants to conquer the British Isles, with the help of their air force called Luftwaffe. The game puts us directly into the life of a pilot in the Royal Air Force in 1940. A fact that then should also explain about one million downloads for the demo on Xbox Live and Playstation Network.
The most amazing thing however ist, that the developer has succeeded in establishing a great balance between the ultra-hard simulation approach that characterizes the original game and also making IL-2 Sturmovik: Birds of Prey accessible to amateur pilots. In 2009 it's sort of the same, just extra polished. Air combat and air-ground battle of the authentic kind already existed back then. PC gamers know IL-2 Sturmovik since 2001 as a fixed term. Thus, it was s strange feeling to participate in the bombing of my own city in 1945 - in a very real and sometimes very depressing action flight simulator called IL-2 Sturmovik: Birds of Prey. Also old bombs are found in construction sites, dangerous legacies of the past.
House walls with bullet holes still are a regular part of cityscape. Anyone who lives in Berlin, is still relatively often confronted with the consequences of World War II.
