The creator of the Flight School campaigns for IL-2 Great Battles has released a new campaign featuring night ops and the U-2VS biplane for IL-2. Let’s have a look!

It is night and the night belongs to us

There’s something about the story of the Night Witches that sounds through history. Flying the U-2VS at night in a challenging situation making use of the cover of darkness to achieve mission objectives is fascinating to the historian in me.

Utopioneer, creator of the Flight School campaign, has come out with a free Night Witches campaign that captures this kind of flying. There are 7-missions and they are set through the course of a single night making this campaign a very interesting slice in time.

Here’s the description:

The spring rains have arrived, and with them the mud. We’ve spent all winter pushing the Germans back, but the earth has been churned into a soggy mess and it stopped the advance. In the slow ebb and flow of fighting, one regiment has been left stranded and surrounded in Krymskaya. With no access to an airfield, we must push back, hold off a German counter-offensive, and buy our brothers time to link up.

  1. Nice! I will check this campaign out 100% once the initially found bugs (as commented on in the linked discussion thread) are ironed out.
    What interests me in this regard: Is the gunsight finally usable in the co-pilot/gunner position? Last time I’ve looked it was not working. (It was available in the IL-2 Sturmovik: 1946 version of the U-2.)

      I’m sure a 1.01 will be along shortly!

      Not sure what you mean about the gunner position sight. I’ve flown the U-2VS since release and never had a problem with it – most recently flew as the gunner in multiplayer even.

      1. They are mostly if not always available in the scripted campaign section of the forum. Iv tried many of them and all have been very good with impressive quality. I often cant tell them apart from the official ones. Check out the Hürtgen forest one for the P47 especially it is very impressive!
