So when you're discussing Steel Fury, do you mean Kharkov? Where is the best place to buy it? I haven't seen it available on Steam.

Yeah, Kharkov. I have an old copy from Gamersgate. Still seems to be available there.

Well. The Reapers are now playing Tank Crew..so that's a solid indication that it's going to have a good community as it grows...

^Looks like fun! I really need to find time to get back into the game.

Thanks Pete/Andrew. No one plays or mods Mius Front or Operation Star?

Can't testify to how stable it runs, but presumably works?

It works and it's stable. It runs on my new rig that I got in November. I haven't tweaked it for 21:9 support but that's because I've been busy with other things.

Mmmmm... might need to install that! (I've had a copy since soon after GG started operation.)

Is the mod from ModDB, or where can it be found?

Don't know who's in the know 'bout this 'round here, but peep your IL2 profile for discount code(s) - I had two and would think that if you've an existing account, you may have some too - to apply towards purchases up till April 16th, I think.

IL2 just released an update of some kind through Steam that took my PC a few minutes to digest.

Airplanes?

$69.99 with a 15% discount. More than I thought it would be, but still a day one buy.

I wish they'd sort out the naming of these things. This is an expansion for the Team Fury-enhanced CloD and not part of the IL2:BoX series (even though both titles are sold under the IL2Sturmovik banner and are published by 1C). I'm still not that enamoured of CloD, so I will wait and see on this, despite what looks like a mouth-watering trailer.

Why not add it to IL 2 Stalingrad (current expansions Battle of Normandy - Battle of Bodenplatte - Battle of Moscow - Battle of Kuban) ?
Adding more flyable planes to one game instead of spreading them out over 2 games sounds better to me.

Because I don't think it utilizes the same engine. Tobruk is built from the older CLoD engine and not the one used by BoX.
