From Press Release:
The Battle of Normandy took place nearly 80 years ago, and though it took us not quite as long (3+ years) to finish it, the latest installment of the next-gen military flight sim IL-2 Sturmovik: Great Battles is now available on Steam.
Developed by 1C Game Studios, IL-2 Sturmovik: The Battle of Normandy is a military flight sim dedicated the aerial engagements between the U.S. Army Air Force, Royal Air Force, and the Luftwaffe in the skies over the Normandy and Calais regions of France before and after the Jun 6th, 1944, Allied invasion.
The Battle of Normandy will explore and recreate the military drama as the Allies use airpower to secure the invasion beachhead and force a breakout to march towards Paris and Germany itself. Airpower played a crucial role in this battle and the Luftwaffe’s increasingly desperate struggle to stem the Allied air offensive of fighters, attackers, and bombers will pose an entertaining challenge for any seasoned virtual pilot.
