Why no news on SOW:BOB, Evgeny?

Hello Evgeny

Could you answer the question why there has been no news on Storm of War: Battle of Britain for at least 6 weeks?

Just wondering..

Regards Henrik

You should be aware, that there are at least 2 other simulations in the WW2-FlightSim-Genre, that are planned to be released at the end of 2008. For Oleg and his team, any information given is a chance for them to orientate themselves against SoW:BoB.

Beyond that, UBI-Soft is the publisher of this game and they have put a hold on any information given about this engine and the sims being created with them. That's true for SoW:BoB and Project Galba AFAIK.

So, despite the respect I have for you, not *demanding* anything, I got to say, that this is about more than just giving a few pictures to a community. This is a marketing project going on, with several competitors on the radar and people should understand that.

I know it's a stretch, but... What are those other (at least) two flightsims?

Well, that is basically the problem. While Oleg allready has shown quite some screenshots and modells, there is absolutely no information on the competitors.

Rumours say there will be a new CFS based on FSX and DX10.

Shockwave (WoV:BOB II) had started a huge recruitment wave early last year to support a project for a WW2-based sim. Their community-manager actively recruited people from the IL2-forums at SimHQ.

Competition is a good thing.

At least if you are at the receiving end.

There are actually three games being made on the same engine as the next generation IL-2 game (BoB). They are SoW: BoB (obviously), Project Galba (Korean War), and Knights of The Sky (WW1). I'm assuming SoW will probably have its own Addons as well, in the future, to include everything from the all encompassing WW2 Flight Sim we already have. IMO, there is no better Flight Sim than the one we have and the ones we will be getting.
