PARIS, April 28, 2006 - Discover the new downloadable add-on PE 2 for IL-2 Sturmovik™ Series: Complete Edition exclusively on BOONTY’s partner sites. Official distribution will start on 28 April at 2 pm (Paris Time).
Fans of IL-2 dogfights can at last experience the ultimate aerial simulation. Pe-2 comes along on top of the famous saga for more hours of new battles set in the Second World War!
The little bomber affectionately known as the “Peshka” (Pawn) is the most famous Soviet twin-engine bomber of the war. It was to the twin-engines what the Il-2 was to the single-engines. Extremely versatile, the Pe-2 served in virtually any role imaginable: dive- and level bomber, heavy fighter, night fighter, reconnaissance, and more. Over 20 different modifications were produced during the war, with a total of 11,000 built. The Peshka served from the summer of 1941 well into the Cold War, where it received a NATO reporting name “Buck”.
Get ready behind the commands of your fighter plane and prepare to plunge back into the heart of the greatest aerial battles of 1939 – 1945!
Pe-2 includes almost 95 campaign missions as well as 5 cooperative multiplayer missions, new ground vehicles and, above all, the possibility to pilot the formidable Pe-2, renown for its ability to adapt to all situations, as a bomber or as a fighter. Travel to the most dangerous fronts from Byelorussia to the East Carpathians passing through the Gulf of Finland. Reconnaissance missions, targets to be destroyed, sea battles: intense emotions are guaranteed!
