1C Game Studios revealed the first gameplay of its Korean War military flight simulator Korea: IL-2 Series.
The trailer features mostly the iconic early jet fighter MiG-15 as it shreds through Allied aircraft, perhaps a bit too much to be realistic, but it is what it is. It looks definitely fetching, though, especially the contrails.
Interestingly, we also take a look at the menus, which include variant selection, a handy interactive diagram of the cockpit layout, a flight manual, and more.
You can watch it below.
The game is coming to PC and doesn’t yet have a release date, but pre-orders are already open.
If you want to see more, you can check out some interesting animations for the artillery units that will be implemented in the game, the model for the Lavochkin La-11 piston fighter and its cockpit, and a look at the ground vehicles and their destruction.
We also have a video focusing on engine sounds and a rather spectacular look at the visual damage modeling.
If you’re unfamiliar with the IL-2 series, it’s a combat flight simulation series that debuted all the way back in 2001 with IL-2 Sturmovik, set on the Eastern Front of World War II.
At that time, it was very innovative among combat flight simulators and provided a lot of interesting features in a genre that was already starting to drop out of the AAA field into a much smaller niche. It also included a rather advanced multiplayer suite for the time.
