This content requires the base game IL-2 Sturmovik: Battle of Stalingrad on Steam in order to play.

## About This Content
The third installment of the next-gen IL-2 Sturmovik series is dedicated to
large scale aerial battles between the Red Air Force and the Luftwaffe in the
skies over the Kuban front in 1943. It contains eight aircraft (additional
Collector Planes are available as separate DLCs).

IL-2 Sturmovik: Battle of Kuban adds the third Eastern front TOW. Combined
with Battle of Stalingrad and Battle of Moscow, it creates a whole Eastern
front pilot experience – you can start your pilot career near Moscow in 1941,
continue to the Battle of Stalingrad in 1942-1943 and finish in Battle of
Kuban in 1943.

You can also use the A-20B bomber in Career mode during another timeframe –
Battle of Stalingrad.

## Sea Dragons historical campaign
Sea Dragons historical campaign is set during the long and bloody battle at
the Kuban bridgehead that lasted from the Spring until the middle of Autumn
1943, when the last troops of the occupying force retreated. The air forces of
the Black Sea fleet played a major role in the fighting, striking airfields,
seaports and surface targets and providing air cover for the troops of the
North Caucasian front as well as supporting Soviet marine landings. This is
the story of a former fighter pilot who has been transferred to the 47th
Attack Aviation Regiment of the Black Sea Air Force after recovering from a
serious wound. Incapable of flying a nimble fighter anymore and starting as a
simple wingman once again, this time piloting an IL-2, he has a long road in
front of him to eventually become the Deputy Commander of the regiment.
