Battle of Britain v2.0 by Barfly

Action Drama -
Made with: IL2 - November 2009

A tribute to the classic British 1969 production, “Battle of Britain”, this movie specifically re-creates some of the memorable scenes, most notably the opening credits in which senior officers review a Luftwaffe unit in France prior to the beginning of the Battle of Britain.  The creation of that scene using IL2 simulation mission-building tools is an achievement in itself.  The combat action is creatively directed and edited, showcasing some of the most impressive recent IL2 modifications in graphics, sound, and camera tools.

Awarded the Newcomer's Silver OLEG for a superior movie by a newcomer to IL2 moviemaking.
