World famous IL-2 Sturmovik series of flight simulators roars over Britain. 1C Company and Ubisoft announced that IL-2 Sturmovik: Cliffs of Dover (for PC) will take off in March 2011.
IL-2 Sturmovik: Cliffs of Dover is the latest instalment in the acclaimed IL-2 Sturmovik series from award-winning developer 1C: Maddox Games.
IL-2 Sturmovik: Cliffs of Dover takes place in 1940 during the pivotal aerial battle for the skies over Britain between the British, the German and the Italian air forces.
Key Features:
* New aircraft: incredibly detailed true-to-life modeling of aircraft systems based on thousands of hours of dedicated research. Every single aircraft component can be damaged for realistic and immensely satisfying results.
1. Flyable aircraft – Over a dozen famous and highly detailed English, German and Italian aircraft available, with all crew positions open to players. All flyable aircraft have been painstakingly researched, resulting in incredibly accurate cockpit interiors (including Spitfire, Hurricane, Messerschmitt and the Stuka).
2. Non-flyable aircraft – 13 AI controlled additional aircraft are also available to allow an even more accurate and immersive experience thanks to a varied aircraft.
* Immersive game modes:
1. Exciting Single-Player Campaign – The campaign thrusts the player into the middle of the battle. The player will join the British Air Force to fight the German forces and renegade pilots on his own side, or join the German Luftwaffe and take part in meticulously recreated historical battles.
2. Massive multiplayer – Customizable modes range from simple deathmatch-style free-for-alls to epic, ongoing 128 player battles that can last hours, days, weeks, or even longer.
3. Interactive training – Comprehensive interactive training for new players – fly a real WWII trainer plane with a computer controlled instructor through a series of training missions.
* Brand new setting – The battle will take place on a large area spanning London and southern England in the north, to Northern France and Belgium in the south. The huge map will contain thousands of historical cities, towns, roads, airfields, radar stations, ports, and industrial areas – all located exactly where they were in 1940.
* New 3D engine – Latest-gen graphics engine with DX10 and DX11 API support. Huge variety of photorealistic ground vehicles, buildings and other environmental elements recreate minute details of 1940s Europe.
* Customizable difficulty – dozens of realism options allow newcomers to the franchise to reduce the difficulty and focus on the fun while learning the ropes of being a pilot.
1C and Ubisoft also announced that IL-2 Sturmovik: Cliffs of Dover will be available in a special Collector’s Edition, along-side the standalone version.
This Collector’s Edition features the following collection of exclusive pilot material assets in a premium packaging:

I don't think there is a place where we can Pre-Order it, as most places still called it SoW. So Maybe wait a little till a release date is given. Then take a look.

Any explanation on DRM ?
If Ubi applies that "online singleplayer" torture, as in 2010... I won't buy it.

What the heck does this mean?
Quote:The player will join the British Air Force to fight the German forces and renegade pilots on his own side,
"....and renegade pilots on his own side." ?????? Does this refer to some rebellious element within the RAF or some Nazi-loving gentlemens flying club at Upper Biggleswaite, LOL????

Luthier made a post over on C1 forums that the announcement is just a little incomplete and there will also be a German campaign. So i'm guessing that some thing got lost translation and what there talking about is the pilots of foreign nationality that flew for the RAF in the battle of Britain, but I don't know. As for DRM some one was saying the other week that the Russian version of the game will not have DRM but the UBI version will have some kind of DRM but not as intrusive as Silent Hunter 5 DRM, but there was know real evidence for this.

That quote by Winston Churchill on the package is wrong isn't it?
Shouldn't it be, "...owed by so many to
SO few."?
