As the IL-2 series of flight sims continued to grow over commercial and free add-ons from the original developers, it became one of the most comprehensive and detailed flight simulations ever released. Virtually every major aircraft that served anywhere in Europe was modeled, and the series have grown well outside the original Russian Front setting. As the sim had a very dedicated following it was only natural to continue to expand it. Of course, the Pacific Theater of World War II was the obvious choice for the next setting. It presented the developers with new unique challenges, as well as presenting many opportunities for new and exciting features.



To many, the most exciting feature of the Pacific Theater is simply all the new aircraft such as the famous Japanese Zero, Betty and Val, American F4U Corsair and SBD Dauntless, and many others. Another major feature of Pacific Fighters that didn’t exist before are aircraft carriers. While playing an occasional role in some European battles, they were of course crucially important in virtually every battle in the war in the Pacific. Finally, a whole range of gameplay maps based on historical battlefields gives the player the opportunity to fly over such famous locations as Pearl Harbor, Midway and Iwo Jima.



In essence, Pacific Fighters is not as much a sequel as it is a whole new game based on the highly modified IL-2 Sturmovik engine. Dozens of major new features as well as countless new nuances really take this game to a whole new level, where it looks and feels like a whole new game. To many players this is just what it’ll be – a meticulous modeling of the Pacific Theater of Operations, with highly detailed and historically accurate carrier ops with many features never done by any previous flight sim; dozens of famous flyable aircraft; and over a dozen famous historical locations, all linked with a strong dynamic campaign and many multiplayer modes allowing for up to 128 human players in a match.



However the feature that really sets Pacific Fighters apart is that owners of our previous products can actually upgrade their flight sims and merge it with Pacific Fighters, thus creating an absolutely unique global flight simulations with over 250 different aircraft, 180 of them flyable, as well as hundreds of ships, tanks, trucks and other vehicles from all areas of the war. The player can easily transfer from destroying German lines in the snows of Stalingrad to supporting advancing Tiger tanks in the battle of Ardennes, to defending the fleet at Pearl Harbor. The merged install allows for countless what-if scenarios, as well as a truly unlimited online experience available for free that encompasses in scope and accuracy many pay-for-play online-only flight simulations. Finally, just like with the previous sims in the line, the developer will continue to develop free content add-ons after the release, with at least seven new aircraft already being developed to be made available immediately after the product release.
