In Russia maybe everyone knows what a Sturmovik is but in the UK or USA or Europe nobody does.

If they want to boost sales for a sequel they repackage the game depending on country.

in the UK they should name the game after the Spitfire. in the US thy should name it after the MUSTANG. etc.

that way the game would sell more copies.
No, I don't think they should give in to American ignorance. Seriously, the IL2 was the most produced combat aircraft of WWII. It did more to destroy the German army than any American aircraft did.

American involvement was just a race to secure Europe and snatch German technological assets - like Von Braun, who launched America to the moon. Germany was doomed before we got involved. We didn't want the Russians to have it all - and the rest of Europe for that matter.

We were on more friendly terms with the Germans than the Russians almost immediately after Germany's defeat.

American history for American consumption has been dumbed down enough over the years. IL2 has and always will be a refreshing perspective. Whoring it out to the lowest American common denominator would ruin the game.
