Synopsis
The skies of Britain have always had a regal air. The Royal Air Force, a proud band of dedicated fighters, has always protected the towns and citizens below with might and prowess. But in 1940, the skies darkened. A devastating world war rages across Europe. The land below roils with battle, and the once-peaceful blue realm above swarms with ruthless German and Italian aircraft hungry for destruction. This is the Battle for Britain — the pivotal moment that England could soar to victory or topple into despair. Assume a lofty position, high in the skies over the continent as you enlist in the RAF and join the ranks of the elite pilots in whose hands the very fate of the nation resides. Get ready to prove your mettle in aerial combat as you take part in one of World War II's most infamous battles.
In IL-2 Sturmovik: Cliffs of Dover, you'll jet above war-torn Europe and engage in white-knuckle aerial combat over the ground-based military operations of the second World War. Experience the might, the devastation and the sheer power of more than 25 different English, Italian and German aircraft, from the Spitfire to the Hurricane and the Messerschmitt Bf-109. The scope and danger of airborne battles come alive with cutting-edge, highly detailed visuals of an all-new, advanced 3D game engine that immerses you in the cities and towns of London, the sweeping countryside of northern France and beyond. Experience the true enormity of global war as you take on more than 128 players in huge, ongoing multiplayer battles or hop in deathmatch-style free-for-alls across a massive sky. The white Cliffs of Dover are black with the smoke of war — will you conquer the enemy and restore peace for the nation?

Good game
It has some problems with Windows 8, in fact compatibility is given up to Windows 7. I like the game but I am confused by the fact that a number of planes are on sales for additional money, I found that irritating, the plane that is shown on the package seems to be one of these optional ones
