an IL-10 campaign.
A 12-mission, single player, offline, semi-historical campaign based on real events where you will fly the IL-10 Sturmovik for the 571 ShAP in the Battle for the Kustrin Bridgehead.
The IL-10 Sturmovik made its first combat missions in 1945. In January the Soviet offensive from Poland toward Berlin stopped at the Oder River. A natural barrier known as the Seelowe Heights overlooked the city of Kustrin and the Oder River valley below. From February to April, the Russians made efforts to expand their bridgehead but suffered heavy losses. The Germans attempted several counterattacks but also suffered heavy losses.
This campaign covers the forgotten battles from February-April 1945. It covers the expansion of the Soviet Kustrin Bridgehead until the moments before the final Soviet offensive to take Berlin.
