Hard to believe but we’ve come up on the 25th anniversary of the IL-2 Sturmovik series! The first release, on November 18, 2001, started off a series with enduring appeal to this day. For a short period of time, the sim is going to be free to play for everyone and it has some deep sale discounts going on at the same time. Let’s have a look!

Free weekend, big sale

Celebrating the 25th anniversary of the series, 1CGS have made IL-2 Sturmovik: Battle of Stalingrad, free to play for the weekend lasting from 6:00 PM UTC on November 12 to 6:00 PM UTC on November 16. The free event features the original release, Battle of Stalingrad, with its eight base-game aircraft, quick missions, career, and multiplayer.

Meanwhile, the entire series is on sale with up to 75% off on the main titles, campaigns, and collector planes and vehicles. That includes some bigger discounts on the most recent major release for the series IL-2 Sturmovik: Siege and Liberation.

The sale is on for Steam and on the IL-2 store too.

    That is very nice of them to do that. I think it would help grow the IL-2 community a bit. Cheers!

    I think development on Great Battles is nearing the end, but I would like to see some more collector aircraft made for it.

    The top of my Axis wishlist is the Ju-87 B-2, which saw a lot of service in the early years of the Eastern Front, particularly from 1941 to 1942. They were present in significant numbers at the Sieges of Odessa and Leningrad, and at the Battles of Moscow and Stalingrad.

    The top of my Soviet wishlist is the IL-4, which was the backbone of the Soviet bomber force from 1942 onwards to 1945. There would need to be several variants made, one for 1942 (Stalingrad and Leningrad), 1943 (Kuban and Leningrad), and 1944 (Odessa and Leningrad).

    I could go on like I have done in the past, but I would be terribly off topic, so I’ll leave you with this.
