This is stand alone mini campaign. Soon I will upload a full career version that combines The Soviet Fighter Pilot and the Soviet Interceptor Pilot mini campaigns.

Soon after that I will upload a version of this campaign that you will be able to continue a previous Soviet Fighter Pilot career with these new missions and you will be able to keep your awards and scores.

WWIII 1946 is a "what if" historical thriller that lets you fly all of the strange jets and German wonder weapons in IL2 1946. This campaign is but a small part of the overall Mega Campaign the will include many smaller mini campaigns such as this one. Each campaign will build upon the other and you will be able to continue your pilot career until the conclusion of WWIII 1946.

In a painstaking process an alternate history storyline has been researched and is presented as a backdrop for some of the most heart pounding and hopefully entertaining missions you have ever flown.

By using historical documents from the US Joint Chiefs of Staff we know exactly what the contingency plans were in the case of an expected Soviet attack in 1946. It is clear from public polls and private correspondence that the US military and government officials fully expected an attack by it's former ally at any time starting in the spring of 1946.

Based on these plans code named Griddle and the other Pincher series plans we have developed a historically plausible alternate history scenario on which all these campaigns are based. These plans were based on the best estimates of Soviet forces and their plans for war.

When I say we I mean the wonderful feedback I have received on numerous forums including Missions4Today, SimHQ, AllAircraftArcade,CombatACE and the Wargamer. Go to these fine websites and search for WWIII and you should come across many interesting discussions.

Storyline for 1946 WWIII

Soviet Interceptor Pilot Campaign

Our former Allies have made a fateful blunder and the world shudders at the consequences and prospect of another World War. They have rejected our rightful demands regarding Manchuria, Turkey and the liberation of Eastern Europe. In a stupendous miscalculation the US has base a squadron of B29 Super Fortresses in West Germany in an attempt to intimidate us. The B29 is an offensive weapon not a defensive weapon. There can be only on conclusion and that is that they intend to use their Abomb in a sneak attack on the Motherland we hold so dear.

They continue to gather former German scientists and their wonder weapons and have been stealing them away to work on even more destructive weapons and delivery systems. We must act and we must act now.

We received word through our massive network of agents that American has a total of only 6 nuclear bombs. Now is the time to strike and to save the motherland from nuclear destruction. We have to attack now before they gain more of these monstrous weapons and use them.

We will no longer allow the West to dictate its will on the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics and our glorious leader Tovarishch Stalin. He will once and for all remove the threat to Mother Russia. No longer will there be a gun pointed at his head from West Germany.

As a Maior in the Soviet Air Force you have flown over 100 combat missions in both Europe and the far east. Because of your special status your official victory score is top secret due to the nature of your assignments.

You have been assigned to a special unit that is working on former German Wonder Weapons that are in our possession. Your specific assignment is to assess the combat capabilities of the various weapons platforms. As such you will be helping to design and test in any future combat situations, our newest weapons systems.

During your previous assignment you angered your superiors. You have been removed from an active unit and brought to Location X. Here you will test out our newest interceptors. The Americans are sure to start using their Superfortress bomber and we must be ready for them.

Good luck to you comrade.
