About IL-2 Sturmovik: 1946

✦ AI summary

Pilot over 229 flyable aircraft across massive historical campaigns spanning WWII and an alternate-history 1946, from Soviet Sturmoviks to Japanese interceptors and experimental jets. This community-updated anthology combines three classic flight sims with hundreds of new planes, maps, and meticulously detailed missions that let you experience air combat from every major theater and air force.

Il-2 1946 includes all of the original IL-2 series content: IL-2 Sturmovik™: Forgotten Battles, Ace Expansion Pack, Pacific Fighters™ and alternate histry campaigns of year 1946. What was years ago began as a one-aircraft study sim is now an astonishing anthology, with a whopping 229 flyable aircraft and over 300 aircraft total!

The game has been updated to the latest version 4.12.2. This community made update includes widescreen support with correct FOV, many new planes, maps and scenarios.
  • New Aircraft: 32 new flyable fighters and bombers, and four new AI aircraft!
  • New Maps: Large new historical maps of the Kiev region; a map of Manchuria focusing on a border region between USSR, China and Japanese-occupied Korea; a large bonus Burma map; and an online Khalkin Gol / Nomonhan map.
  • New Campaigns: Nine new campaigns with nearly 200 missions add incredible realism and attention to detail. There are detailed careers for fighter and bomber pilots, for the German, Soviet, and Japanese air forces, offering such varied objectives as flying jet bombers over occupied Europe, to intercepting American B-29 Super fortresses over Iwo Jima and Japanese home islands!
  • Alternate History: Three of the nine campaigns are a departure into alternate history, focusing on hypothetical battles between the Soviet Union and Germany in the year 1946, while WWII still rages on.
  • Nearly 1,000 new Paint schemes: The new planes, as well as many of the other ones in the series, come with a host of historical paint schemes, showing many of the individual aircraft or squadrons that served in WWII.

What Steam players say

Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.

✦ AI summary

IL-2 Sturmovik: 1946 is praised as an excellent and affordable flight sim alternative that offers a huge roster of unique historical aircraft with solid damage modeling and low system requirements. However, players consistently report significant compatibility issues with modern Windows versions and resolutions that require manual configuration to resolve, and some note that AI difficulty can be frustratingly high even on lower settings. Most reviews suggest it's worth playing for flight sim enthusiasts willing to troubleshoot setup issues, potentially with community mods like B.A.T.

Really good game for its time and it could be a warthunder competitor if this was more well known, Pros: alot of really unique aircrafts that i didnt even know were real, decent damage, can run on anything Cons, some bombers are locked like the b-29, crash-landings have weird physics, setting it up just to work on windows 11 was a pain in the ass, overall its a really solid game 8.5/10

This game is sensational, I absolutely love it. It's like DCS but MUCH cheaper and a lot more fun due to its simplicity. The game does have an issue... being so old, it isn't compatible with modern resolutions and Windows 11. I went months without playing because I couldn't find a fix, and I thought I'd never be able to play it, so it just sat untouched in my library for a long time. Fixing it is actually very simple. You just have to change the resolution in the conf.ini file in the game's base folder. Also, in the game executable's properties, make sure to check "Run this program as an administrator" and "Disable fullscreen optimizations". Just by doing that, the game should launch without any issues. I also HIGHLY recommend downloading the B.A.T. mod pack. It’s an exceptional upgrade for both content and graphics. I'm honestly speechless at the amount of things this game has to offer considering how old and accessible it is.
