![]() You get to fly one in the game, but would-be pilots also get to handle a few others in their fights against the Luftwaffe. Luftwaffe pilots feared it for its toughness and firepower, and the Wehrmacht dreaded its air-to-ground attack capabilities, although the console version doesn't so much as concentrate on the Eastern Front as it delivers the entire war whittled down to small battles excerpted from history. IL2-Sturmovik: Birds of Prey is named after the Soviet IL2-Sturmovik, called by some "the Flying Tank," which helped check the tide of the Third Reich's advance in the skies over the Eastern Front in WWII. Although flight games haven't exactly been rare on consoles, with the arcade action of Namco Bandai's Ace Combat 6 and Ubisoft's own WWII-themed Blazing Angels, IL2-Sturmovik's reputation succeeds in bringing a more serious, sim-oriented approach to the table. Over the years, additional add-ons have increased its impressive arsenal to over more than 200 flyable aircraft, and it's entertained armchair WWII aces with even more missions to earn their wings both on- and offline. The original IL2-Sturmovik was released in 2001 on PCs and has been regarded by many players as one of the definitive WWII flight sims to have ever been released. ![]() Ace Combat 6 really didn't need a flight stick to play it, but now it looks like that there is a game that could actually make having one worth the price.
