    Those lamenting the lack of a PC port for Gaijin Entertainment's well-received IL-2 Sturmovik: Birds Of Prey need no longer be sad, for the developer has announced a PC-exclusive combat flight sim called Wings Of Prey, which sounds very much like an enhanced port, sans the IL-2 name, right down to Jeremy Soule's musical accompaniment:

    "Wings of Prey" is based around the large-scale aerial combat and ground military operations of World War II. Players can participate in some of the war’s most famous battles piloting fighters, battle planes and bombers across a range of thrilling missions. There are six theatres of war to engage in – The Battle of Britain, Stalingrad, Ardennes, Berlin, Sicily and Korsun' representing the main airborne battles of World War II in Europe.
    “Wings of Prey” also boasts an all new damage effects engine as well as advanced environmental visuals enriching the game play. “Wings of Prey” features hundreds of airplanes taking part in air battles. The unique environmental engine also produces highly detailed, realistic landscapes that allow players to see breathtaking ground support actions.

    Game Features:


    Authentic World War atmosphere: Cutting edge technologies with highly detailed visuals bring the epic battles to life;
    Engage in more than 50 missions from famous historical battles over Eastern and Western Europe;
    Historically accurate aircrafts: Experience over 40 planes including fighters, battle planes and bombers. Learn to master Spitfire, Mustang, Messerschmitt and many more;
    Flexible difficulty level system: from arcade to realistic simulation;
    Downloadable content support: more planes and missions are coming next year;
    Support of 6-DOF TrackIR, TripleHead2Go, Saitek and Thrustmaster joysticks, mouse and voice headsets;
    Thrilling multiplayer: 4 game modes to choose; VoIP, lobby game system, leaderboards, friends lists, join-in-progress and host migration features provide great experience;
    Realistic sound effects and original music from Jeremy Soule

    Historically accurate aircrafts

    This game is a must for the childrens

    Wow, that's news! thanks for posting . . .


    It'll probably require a beast of a PC . . . But can't wait to see what the specs would be and if I can run it . . .


    I wonder how customer support and internet capability will be like. And will this get the same love that IL-2 1946 is getting?


    I notice they said "Sans IL-2 name" because Oleg didn't back it?


    I notice on the video you can recognize the IL-2 damage pattern (on the salamander)

    Any idea when this would be ready for purchase? It could be something of a substitute for Christmas,seeing that SOW is not going to be ready until sometime in 2010?....Cheers. JM.

    Dec 29, 2009. At least that's what the liner notes said under the preview video.

    So Youplay got the publishing rights instead of 777 Studios? (I'm assuming it's the same project he informally announced) That's too bad. Wish that Jason was able to secure them.

    I'd be interested in hearing the difference in the PC verses 360 versions. I may pick it up just for the eye candy.

    Wings of Prey is an odd sort of nonsense phrase that makes no real sense in English. Is this another Russian developer?

    Well, I know many people who wanted to see this for PC, myself included.
    I am very happy to hear about this.

    Me too. It will hopefully have at least some of the diversity and realism of IL-2 with flashy graphics. This is good news!
