Fidelity to historical detail has been observed, among others, through the utilization of the original sketches and blueprints describing the construction of particular machines. Developers abandoned the mouse-controlled cockpits – now players have control over basic airplane systems, such as the propeller pitch, the fuel blend, and munitions. The entire experience is based on the DirectX 9 library. The game is based on an altered version of the Digital Nature engine, designed for the sole purpose of presenting the reality of World War II. The mission editor, featured by Rise of Flight, allows players to design their own battle scenarios.
The AI-controlled opponents are remarkably cunning – their actions on the battlefield are almost human-like. Developers did their best to translate the WWII reality into the game. The midair battles take place on impressively large maps, spreading out up to 360 km from East to West, and 230 km from North to East. In the single player mode, one assumes the role of a pilot fighting for one of the available factions aboard one of the eight available airplanes. In between, one also participates in the Winter Storm Operation that took place in December 1942. The game starts with the Operation Uranus and ends with the destruction of the German 6th Army.
Creators chose this period by no coincidence, for the result of this battle had a large impact on the situation of both Soviet and Nazi armies, as well as the entire Eastern Front. The story takes place between 19 and focuses on the Battle of Stalingrad. IL-2 Sturmovik: Battle of Stalingrad yet again takes players to the reality of the greatest war in human history.
The game has been developed by 1C Company (also responsible for previous installments of the series) in cooperation with 777 Studios (known for such games as Rise of Flight). A continuation of IL-2 Sturmovik – an airplane battle simulator set in World War II.
