IL-2 Sturmovik: Lisunov Li-2 Collector Plane Collector's Edition brings a fascinating historical aircraft to life on the PC. This simulation dives into the world of the Lisunov Li-2, a Soviet-built variation of the famed DC-3. Players can explore the plane's numerous adaptations that reflect Soviet engineering and wartime needs, from its metric measurements to enhanced armaments that make it a versatile option for aerial operations.

The Versatile Combat Support Role

Crafted as a multi-functional asset, the Li-2 served as both a transport and a combat platform.

This aircraft doubles as a gunship and a cargo plane, enabling players to transport paratroopers, cargo, and even bombs, making it a critical component in Soviet air operations.
