The city of Helsinki and Leningrad have been designed using old 1939-1940 maps and contain a number of unique and well-know buildings and objects.Both maps of the Finnish Gulf have been designed that to cover the historical battles of 1941-1944 during the Russo-Finnish war.The Hungarian winter and summer maps include the great lake Balaton and the surrounding area around, including small part of Slovenia.The L'vov map include the parts of Soviet Ukraine and small parts of Poland and Slovakia. For online gameplay, we have prepared several maps for different gameplay. One of which includes towering mountains with high altitude airfields.DYNAMIC CAMPAIGN GENERATORIL-2 Sturmovik: Forgotten Battles introduces a dynamic campaign. The dynamic campaigns are automatically generated, and the player can select his or her nation, squadron, and aircraft to fly. Players can also decide when they want to join the war. After the completion of each mission, the results will be processed and another mission will automatically be generated - and so on, until the end of war. Results of one mission will carry on to the next and no two missions will be the same. During the campaigns, forces will advance or retreat, based on the history of the battles. However, frontline movements can speed up or slow down in limited degree. Additionally, resource tracking is present and objects destroyed in one mission will stay destroyed in the next. Every destroyed plane, friendly or hostile, reduces the number of planes of this type in the theatre, making their appearance less likely. Destroyed trains and transport columns will affect supply rate. If an ace is killed or captured, he will not appear in future battles.Squadron management will also play a key-role in the dynamic campaign system. Every pilot has a name, photo (it is possible to replace the default photos) a rank, medals, sorties and kills. Each pilot's skill level is defined by combat experience. Pilots can be killed, captured, promoted, awarded or transferred. Losses are replaced, but new pilots will likely have minimal combat experience. Each squadron has a limited amount of combat ready planes, and if this number drops below some point, the squadron will be short-handed. Players may choose to play from any time of 1941 to 1945 and fly for either Germany, Russia, Finland or Hungary.NEW AIRCRAFTIn addition to all IL-2 Sturmovik aircraft and IL-2 Sturmovik free add-ons aircraft already released, here are the new aircraft:(in red the VVS and Allies aircraft, in blue the LW and Axis aircraft) Flyable Ju-87D-3 Two seat dive bomber / ground attack aircraft Ju-87G-1 Two seat tank buster / ground attack aircraft Bf-109G-14 Fighter Bf-109G-10 Fighter Bf-109K-4 Fighter FW-190D-9 Fighter. 1944 model FW-190D-9 Fighter. 1945 model with MW50 FW-190F-8 Fighter-bomber FW-190A-9 Fighter He-111H-2 Multi-crewed bomber He-111H-6 Multi-crewed bomber / torpedo bomber Me-262A-1a Jet fighter Me-262A-2a Jet fighter-bomber B-239 (Brewster Buffalo F2A) Fighter.
