The Combat over Europe add on for IL-2 Sturmovik: Forgotten Battles features eight new campaigns, special training features, online cooperative missions, a speech pack to convert Russian and German to English and a skin pack with 10 new skins.

A selection of online cooperative missions includes a range of aircraft in both summer and winter conditions. Four dogfight maps are also included, allowing you to host an ongoing Battle of Britain scenario online, a D-Day scenario and others.

Skin sets allow you to fly with historically correct squadron markings. You may choose the 354th Fighter Group for the P51D, the 404th Fighter Group for the P47D, or JV44 for the Me262. Additional skins are available for immediate download via the Skin Library feature.

To set the tone, video footage includes historical newsreels from WWII, including Battle of Britain and D-Day footage. Fifteen training tracks provide instruction on air-to-air gunnery, with eight training tracks for pilots of the tricky Me262 jet fighter. Single training missions allow you to test your own skills in the German jet. A separate 12-page PDF document provides classroom-style instruction in air-to-air combat for budding aces.

Further documents include A Short History of JV44, Development of the Me262, Flying the Me262 in FB and Allied Aircraft of D-Day. Cockpit guides are included for the Bf109, the P47D, the P51D, Ju87B and the Me262, as well as takeoff and climb performance charts for the P47D and P51D. German and Russian command charts round out the package.
