IL-2 Battle of Stalingrad/Moscow - The Ju 52/3m 4ge DLC Aircraft

Slow and defenseless but no less iconic of WWII military aviation. This is an aircraft DLC for IL-2 Battle of Stalingrad/Moscow combo.


Somewhere near Moscow, hauling fallschirmjäger.



The Ju 52, despite an intimidating dashboard, is a fairly easy to fly aircraft.



This DLC aircraft is arguably the best virtual model of the real thing. This is one of the IL-2 virtual cockpits where you really long for being able to click those panels.



Extra paint jobs are included.



Damn! I don't envy the guy in this turret.



The DLC does not include extra content like a campaign, but surely you can fly the Ju 52 in the already released campaigns. Nonetheless, one very cool thing of this DLC aircraft is the ability to carry and drop fallschirmjäger.


The cream of the crop heads east for a special mission.



The detail level of these paratroopers, including animations is quite impressive.

Command Ops 2: Rescuing Cavalry

Yes sir, troopers need to be rescued sometimes too.


In this scenario, US Cavalry (brown icons) is caught off guard along the 25 km front held by the 7th US Armored Division. In this screenshot, fallschirmjägers are swarming north along the road network in the town of Ospel (Holland).

This is from a game I played as the Allies against the computer. The game is Command Ops-Westwall and the scenario is "Counterstroke in the Swamp". Massive spoilers warning.


The situation is not less ominous in the village of Meijel, with German infantry (grey icons) moving towards the B and C Troops of the 87th Cavalry Squadron.



A feeble delaying party of the D Troop near Hooge Brug. There is a bridge there that can support motorized units, so I will be looking at this specific are with much attention.



By mid day, the fallschirmjägers at Ospel have forced the US Cavalry to withdraw. Fortunately, CCA (7th US Armored Division, green icons west of the German force) are on their way to the village's center.
