The almost constantly snowy, monochord setting flattens the feeling of "advance" in the countryside. What the campaign lacks tho is a hint of narrative involving and spurning the players, as the encirclement of the Sixth Army towards the city of Stalingrad continues. Light and fast aircraft such as the Messerschmitt BF 109 F-4 or Lavochkin La-5 Ser.8 are suitable for air escort and patrol missions, absolute protagonists of elegant and exciting dogfights. By selecting the powerful Russian Pe-2 ser.87 bombers and the German He 111 H-6, on the other hand, you can raze larger targets such as railway stations or cities, perhaps using the various machine gun positions leaving the flight controls to the autopilot. The IL-2 Sturmovik, for example, can be used for ground attacks or troop support, and tasks often involve the destruction of artillery posts, columns of trucks and tanks, or trains passing through a certain area of the endless map.
If you wish, you could complete the entire campaign using a single plane and always performing the same tasks, divided into six main sections: Intercept, Escort, Ground Attack, Ground Support and Bombing.
As the player successfully completes missions, he gains experience points that allow him to access subsequent chapters of the campaign. It’s precise historical setting is the Battle of Stalingrad, in this case the air battle that took place between November 1942 and February 1943.
Strict and accurate to it’s tradition, IL-2 Sturmovik: Battle of Stalingrad is a pure simulator, dedicated to one of the most successful and famous Russian aircraft of the time.
