Default "Cliffs of Dover", title sounds... weak

Of all the titles I can think of for this game, "Cliffs of Dover" sounds limp, lacking immensity, or importance.

It would be excellent for a travel brochure, but an action game?


Had to re post this:
The acronym, CoD. Cash on Delivery??
Something UBIsoft would do, hummm?

I understand what you mean, but certainly to us Brits they're a national symbol of erm.. Britishness. Also a symbol of defiance to any potential invader. Even to us Northerners.

Also, rumour has it it that some Luftwaffe aircrew were physically sick as they loomed closer.

I do prefer 'Storm of War' myself however.

tbh, i don't think it's that bad, i actually think Storm of War sounds a bit cliche/corny.

I seen the White cliffs my self many times and they are impressive.

If it was a game on invading England, then yes, CoD would be excellent, but for an air war?


OH, and the acronym, COD. Cash On Delivery??
Some UBIsoft would do, hummm?

Well, the effort for air superiority was in preparation for an attempt at invasion, so that bit fits.

Agree with the cash on delivery bit though. It was the first thing I noticed.

The White Cliffs of Dover are synonymous with the Battle of Britain. Thus a great choice for the title. I'm sure it was a difficult decision.

Not sure about that world wide.

Europe, yes, other parts of the world like USA, not so sure.

But they will now!

Vera Lynn comes to mind too in that tittle and when you have Vera Lynn you have "The Battle Of Britain". With the whole complete tittle some people will automatically know that this should be an awesome sim. "IL-2 Sturmovik:Cliffs Of Dover".

Couldn't have put it better myself.
And the Battle of Britain was about invading Britain!
