IL-2 Sturmovik: Birds of Prey — About this game
IL-2 Sturmovik: Birds of Prey on DS starts with flight training before its battle missions. Read the briefing and use the lower map to understand the objective, then steer, control speed and line up the appropriate weapon. Dogfights, escorts, reconnaissance and ground strikes require different priorities. Begin by holding a stable approach and adjusting throttle before trying a tight turn over the target. This version uses the handheld's directional and button controls, with map interaction between the action.
