    IL-2 Sturmovik: Desert Wings - TOBRUK Announcement

    IL-2 Sturmovik: Desert Wings - TOBRUK, the new addition to the acclaimed realistic air combat simulator IL-2 Sturmovik: Cliffs of Dover Blitz, is coming out this summer!



    In this exciting new IL-2 Sturmovik: Cliffs of Dover - Blitz Desert War expansion, you can fly with over 40 aircraft and variants from the Royal Air Force, the Luftwaffe or the Regia Aeronautica. See combat in the legendary Spitfire, sturdy Hurricanes, stubby Martlets, and rugged Kittyhawks, or take wing in deadly Messerschmitts and Macchis. The game introduces a flyable Wellington bomber, as well as updated versions of the Ju-88 and Heinkel 111H. Desert Wings allows bomber and fighter jocks of all skill levels the opportunity to fully challenge themselves in this historically based campaign.

    In addition to the long list of flyable aircraft, there are over 25 new tanks, artillery and vehicles as well as 17 new ships, including massive battleships, cruisers, destroyers, patrol boats, submarines, torpedo boats and merchant ships; these additions allowing huge land and naval battles in ferocious detail.

    IL-2 Sturmovik: Desert Wings- TOBRUK will feature a 385km x 385km North African map recreating in precise detail the strategic stronghold of Tobruk and the rugged contours of coast, desert and sea which surrounds it, with over 75 airfields, multiple landmarks and towns, an extensive road system as well as the historical fortifications, minefields and defenses, all based on actual maps from the war. Combined with the excellent multiplayer environment that allows over 100 players and dozens of AI aircraft online simultaneously, IL-2 Sturmovik: Desert Wings - TOBRUK promises intense and challenging human versus human aerial battles.

    Add IL-2 Sturmovik Desert Wings - TOBRUK to your Steam wish list today: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1...Wings__Tobruk/

    Please see the 1C Forums for the Official Announcement and Pricing:

    Yeah, I figure since Pattle can draw a good crowd that I'd try to get a little bit of side business going.

    Re: IL-2 Sturmovik: Desert Wings - TOBRUK Announcement

    this is going to be a difficult wait. Hoped it would just appear one day rather than more DCS type hype .
    Some questions, seen someone say it costs $70 - cannot find anything to confirm this. Looked on the steam store page and saw no price there (although i may have something locked off) and its not showing on IL2 website either.
    Steam announcemment page says min requirements win10 - is this just a standard comment or am I going to have issues using with win7?
    Also says 15Gb needed - is that additionally to blitz (doesnt seem unrealistic but my blitz SSD only has 13Gb left typical)

    1) Totally OT but Dazza's avitar picture always makes me happy. Right there is the "joy of life" incarate!

    2) BTW if this was DCS this thread would already be 28 pages long with nuanced arugments about when summer is and when it ends. C'mon fellas, up the game!

    3) anyone up for a sweepstake on the post number of the first VR Victor to mansplain why they wont be buying it?

    And right there is a little lesson on NOT clicking the like button. I think when Pat clicked "liked" on that post it simply said "im already excited" - now it says a whole lot more of unfounded gumpf and it looks as though its endorsed. UNCLICK THAT LIKE PAT!!

    EDIT oops - I stand corrected. DONT unclick that like Pat!!

    Am I correct in the assumption that I can't pre-order yet?I did get on the Steam "Wish List" but saw no way to lay my money down on either Steam or in the IL-2 Store. Does anyone have any idea when pre-orders or orders will start?

    I was getting really hyped for this, but have heard there is no open career mode, just scripted. That's poured a damper on things for sure; fingers crossed this changes at some point.

    Career mode in BOS is like sticking pins your eyes in return for some overblown virtual medals and a wall of unengaging historical situational waffle (which is good to know as there is no evidence of any of it in the game). I really dont see the clamour TBH and i dont feel connected in any way. Add gormless AI and Id take a good long scripted campaign (were AI idiocy can be mitagted with good mission design) everyday.

    I just hope the next one isnt as depressing as the first! Jeesh - Im still getting therapy for that one.
