IL-2 Great Battles: Patch 4.502 Hurricane Mk II et C-47 A Skytrain (Dakota)

Attendu depuis plusieurs semaines, le patch 4.502 est enfin disponible avec un contenu très alléchant:

  • Comme convenu, le nouveau chasseur anglais Hawker Hurricane MkII est disponible en 5 variantes (a,b,c,d et Russe).
  • Il s’accompagne du premier avion IA pour Normandy, à savoir le C-47 A Skytrain (Dakota) qui permettra de rétablir la balance avec le JU-52 Allemand dans la variété des missions proposées. De l’aveu même des développeurs, une version pilotable pourrait voir le jour…
  • La variante du système de modélisation de la physiologie de la charge G fait aussi partie des nouveautés  dans le but de s’approcher un plus de la réalité en prenant en compte plus de paramètre.
  • Nouvelle skin 4K dispo pour le Bf-110-E2 pour la bataille de Moscou.
