Evaluation
IL-2 Sturmovik: Cliffs of Dover Blitz Edition released on December 14, 2017 and continues to receive active support from Team Fusion Simulations. Feature patches have shipped regularly through 2026, with the most recent being Update 5.049 on July 21, 2026 — focused on multiplayer improvements — preceded by Patch 5.048 on June 23, 2026 and a substantial bug-fix and audio improvement patch on May 26, 2026.
The studio is clearly active: on August 5, 2026, they launched a brand-new title in the IL-2 Series covering the Korean War, and that announcement explicitly states the team "is already working on future updates and a major expansion" for that new game.
However, a second DLC for Cliffs of Dover — "Fortresses and Focke-Wulfs: Dieppe" — was formally announced on October 16, 2023 and given a target release window of "late 2024." It is still listed on the Steam store as unreleased with no release date. That deadline passed over a year and a half ago, and none of the developer's 2026 communications — including three patches and a major product launch — have addressed the DLC's status, provided a new schedule, or confirmed it remains in development. The developer's focus appears to have shifted substantially toward the new Korea title. Until the studio publicly clarifies the Dieppe DLC's fate, it remains an outstanding commitment in an uncertain state.

Accept the technical challenge of flying bombers or attack aircraft like the German Junkers 88, Heinkel and Stuka, the Italian Fiat BR-20, or the British Bristol Blenheim or Beaufighter.
