Fly the British-built Spitfire Mk.Vb as a young Siberian pilot on the North Caucasus Front in late May 1943. This action simulation campaign draws from historical events around the Soviet 37th and 56th Armies' assault on the German 44th Army Corps near Krymskaya. Tackle 20 missions with fictional scenarios and randomization for added replayability, updated for Steam with tactical codes on all planes and fixed script bugs.
Patrol dawn skies to defend coastal ports, escort bombers across enemy lines, and suppress AAA batteries while watching for Luftwaffe fighters in the Northern Caucasian skies. The 57th GIAP regiment's week-long push from May 25 to June 1 delivers about 12 hours of intense aerial combat. Pilots who crave detailed historical simulation and randomized mission variety will find a solid challenge here.
The Achtung Spitfire! campaign story is inspired by historical events, while its 20 missions have fictional circumstances and use randomization to increase replayability. In preparation for the Steam release, the campaign has been updated (all planes have tactical codes assigned, script bugs fixed, etc.).
Your character is a young Russian pilot from Siberia serving on the North Caucasus Front in late May 1943. The campaign features missions inspired by the Soviet 37th and 56th Armies attack on the German 44th Army Corps west of the city of Krymskaya. Your regiment will be flying the famous British-built Spitfire Mk.Vb which was loaned to the USSR via the Lend Lease program. Meeting Spitfires in the skies of the Kuban region came as quite a surprise to the Luftwaffe.
Experience fierce aerial combat in the skies above the picturesque Northern Caucasian region of the Soviet Union. Defend coastal ports on dawn patrols, escort friendly bombers over enemy territory and help suppress AAA batteries, but always be on the lookout for enemy fighters!
