Post by: SAS~Anto on April 20, 2011, 09:26:57 PM: It is has been released everywhere EXCEPT the Americas. It is available in 6 versions:

Russian Steam only (as 'Battle of Britain')
Russian standard (DVD in case)
Russian Collectors (with game manual, cloth map, Spitfire manual and DVD in case)
International Steam only (as Il-2: Cliffs of Dover)
International standard (DVD in case)
UK Collectors Edition (with ring-bound game manual, cloth map/tee towel, Spitfire manual and DVD in case)

I've seen the standard version in a few select stores (on the bottom shelf, buried underneath some much older games) and I just received the UK Collectors Edition. From reading the forums, only select countries are getting physical copies (being those with a major Ubisoft branch, such as UK, Australia, parts of Asia etc), Russian editions are distributed directly by 1C:Maddox and the remaining countries have to purchase it via Steam.

Post by: Stirwenn222 on June 03, 2011, 01:40:47 AM: You may have your release in about in 2 months : Russians and Europeans players are just playing betatesters (1C abused the trust of customers)... you can expect some improvement in graphics (with a very solid rig) but as for me IL2 1946 is still the best.

Title: Re: CoD's Dornier Do 17
Post by: CWMV on June 04, 2011, 08:32:29 PM: Nope, you can buy the Russian version for $15, download the English dll and have it.

You can just buy it off some random shop to get the steam code. I did and am in the US... Works fine, and all updates work etc... Game sucks, but Steam works fine. Its IL2 only for me for a while.. maybe in a couple years CLOD won't be such a Clod.
