  • Summary: Battle of Britain 2 Wings of Victory recreates the fierce and famous air battles southern England in 1940. The game delivers explosive fun for veteran and casual gamers alike, and occurs over a vast and living world below which will be forever known as one the world’s most decisive moments in history. The simulation allows the player to either act as the supreme commander of either side, or simply click “fly” and let your generals manage the war below. As commander, you can control the war down to a single aircraft or building in a world where thousands upon thousands battle for supremacy. Thousands of targets including every plane, factory, airfield, and radar station have a specific role and impact on the progress of the war below. As the enormous campaign plays out below, you will observe both allied and enemy flights carrying out their daily missions. You can take your commanders hat off and jump in the cockpit of the British Hurricane, Spitfire, German Messerschmitt, Stuka dive bomber, or man the gunstations of the Dornier Do17, Heinkel He111, and Ju-88 level bombers. As a pilot, all you need to do is destroy the enemy when you can and get you and your comrades home alive. [GMX Media]… Expand

    An excellent hardcore simulation for the air combat enthusiast, especially one with an appreciation for history.

    Battle of Britain II's enhanced stability and updated graphics are compelling enough on their own, but when you toss in a 140-page printed manual and a bonus 52-minute "Battle of Britain" DVD, that $50 game box starts to look even better. [Oct 2005, p.66]

    Crashed when I installed it. I then patched it. It does not crash now. Modable. See the web site. Lots of support offered. Already a community that cares. The wargame contained in the game is tough. Well done. (I thought IL-2 [all flavours] sucked bad. Funny that) I can get acceptable frame rates even when in the midst of massive fleets of bombers and fighters whizzing all over. I recommend users apply the patches and go to the forum to seek advice, rather than whining. Just my $.02… Expand

    Although the game general approach is rather good, it is completely unusable due to frequent crashes. The developing company is a very low quality one.… Expand
