I think Storm of War, if possible, is better than Maddox Simulations. Purely because it gives an idea of the game genre, it works well for all subsequent combat-flight-sims, and also it's catchy.

Maddox Simulations sounds very professional, but in a title as such may sound a bit too vein? For example, "Infinity Ward: Modern Warfare_"
The Infinity Ward name may come into the title, but usually only to present the game: "Infinity Ward presents", and with JAMF's example we already have: "The Creators of Il-2 Sturmovik Present..."
If Maddox Simulations was to be in the title, I don't think it should be part of the main-title in this way.
Just my 2P ;)

:) "The Creators of Il-2 Sturmovik Present..." I took from one of your previous posts.

Maddox Simulations I took from mr. Maddox mentioning they had suggested "Oleg Maddox Combat Simulations", but removing 'combat' leaves room for 'non-combat sims' and makes the name short, snappy and all business.

Text fonts and size just make it look nice. Verdana for the top and Times for the bottom. :cool:

[EDIT] If SoW is still an option, it has preference. It already has a presence here and been with us some time, so from marketing point of view it has a base/foundation.

I definitely think Maddox Simulations should have a part. For non-combat games, as you say, it will work really well.
I really hope SoW is an option, because for me it's such a great name ;)

By the team that gave you
IL-2 Sturmovik

with of course appropriate fonts and text sizes and colours

Oh I like this. You could just change where "The Battle Of Britain" is in the title each time and add on came out. This is the best idea yet in my opinion.

Maddox Games
Storm Of War
Part One
The Battle Of Britain

il2 sturmovik
il2 sturmovik: forgotten battles
il2 sturmovik: pasific fighters
il2 sturmovik: 1946
il2 sturmovik: birds of prey (by different creators, it's no simulator and lacks a lot of things (good damage models, mission builder etc))
il2 sturmovik: wings of prey (also not by Oleg Maddox Games)
il2 sturmovik: battle of britain (by Oleg Maddox Games, new engine, simulator)
il2 sturmovik: Battle for Moscow
il2 sturmovik: Korean Theater Ops
il2 sturmovik: aarg! too much!

you should thinking "market"...
if i'm a newbee who bought il2 surmovik : battle of britain and who like it...
if in shop i see IL2 sturmovik: 1946, i surely buy it thinking it's the sequel...

for me, i do not care the name, and i hope the question of naming is not delay the release

il2 sturmovik: battle of britain is the same confusion than il2 sturmovik : pacific fighters
and it did not prevent release it

For example, as has been mentioned before...

"The creators of Il-2 Sturmovik present.... __________"

For me this is the best solution. People familiar with Il-2 will see the title, and then see that the game is not the same as Il-2 but a new-game ;)

Absolutely the new sim should be introduced, for example on the DVD cover and advertising, with a reference to IL2 and Oleg, but not in the actual *title*. The title itself should just be "Storm of War"; short and meaningful. Something like:

Oleg Maddox and the creators of the award-winning IL2 Sturmovik series present...
Storm of War: Battle of Britain

in my opinion a new name is a good idea, but to make other remember of its roots to il2 maybe put something liek a signature tehy wrote thanking us in il1946 cover.:

-------------from the creators of the Il2 ( sturmovik series)
----------------------- ''The name of the series''

this to show
the expansion-----------''Battle of Britain'' although this might be the title itself
or
---------------------------Battle of moscow

and here or up the main title : From the creators of the [successful] ( legendary) Il2 series
so u have a new name of the series, you remember the il2 series
and you put other names below for the pack like BoB
thanks
PS i do not prefer something that says oleg maddox( but ok the maddox games), not for not respect, in the contrary i admire his dedication, as he is not alone in the dev, there is a team and i think all of it has to be recognized

if we are speaking about the evolution of il2 series, then the perfect name should be:

IL3: Batle of ....

Yes!
And the sequels might be IL4,IL5,IL6...
Very clever!:rolleyes:

I remember how much of a kick I got out of the box art from "Pacific Fighters". It was a great box and also for once in a blue moon a Zero wins a fight in a advertisement for some product sold in North America.
