“Korea” is the next-generation game in the “IL-2” series. It is built on a new engine, uses an updated damage and flight model.

Players will control eight aircraft from the era, carefully recreated based on real blueprints, photographs, and documents:

★ MiG-15bis

★ Il-10

★ Yak-9P

★ La-11

★ F-86A-5 “Sabre”

★ F-51D “Mustang”

★ F-80C-10 “Shooting Star”

★ F-84E “Thunderjet”

In addition to the controlled aircraft, there are dozens of vehicles on the battlefield and in the sky, including B-29 bombers, along with meticulously crafted ground vehicles, trains, and ships.

The action takes place on the largest map in the series' history — over 200,000 square kilometers. This is not modern Korea, but a region from the early 1950s, recreated based on historical documents. The map features dozens of air bases with accurate layouts, hundreds of settlements, ports, and dams. All of this is connected by an extensive transportation network.
