Oh yes. Much better than anything I could ever do.

LOL I didn't mean that I just meant that I wonder if that's going to be the box art also.

I think the name's really important. I've always disliked the name Storm of War. It's a weird combination of words. It needs to be something short and snappy so it doesn't detract from the individual names. I like War-torn, but it maybe doesn't sound enough like a flight-sim. War-torn: Battle of Britain and War-torn: Korea sound nice, though. Or even War-torn: Britain, or War-torn: Britain 1940. Not sure. Anyway, I'm sure that someone else could come up with a better name in the same vein. I think maybe War-torn or Wartorn or War Torn would look a bit weird printed on a box.

Okay, I skimmed over the last few pages, so someone please correct me if I'm wrong and forgive me if I'm being redundant.

The publisher wants to drop the name "Storm of War" and call this new sim "IL-2: Battle of Britain"? That's a shame if true since it makes no sense at all considering IL-2 is the name of a plane and one that has nothing to do with the BoB.

I originally had mixed feelings about the name "Storm of War" (maybe Skies of War would sound more like a flight sim?) but got over it and it's certainly better than the publisher's alternative! Personally I think Storm of War is a decent "umbrella" title that could be used throughout the new series with a subtitle indicating the subject matter.

Storm of War: Battle of Britain
Storm of War: Battle for Moscow
Storm of War: Korea
etc.

I'm pretty sure IL-2 Battle Of Britain is just going to be the tittle used for release in Russia and Eastern Europe.

I always thought that "Air Superiority Fighter"...would be a great name for an air combat sim.

Air Superiority Fighter-(Arena) BoB

Air Superiority Fighter-(Arena) Mediterranean

Air Superiority Fighter-Korea


Way back when, Oleg said he would run a contest for the best series name...I guess that aint never happening (lol)

Oh no you don't - not with my Blenny sim (Blolingbroke bomber!)

Sheesh! These fighter jocks...

P.S.
There was Air Dominance Fighter by DID. The improved version was "Total Air War".

Sounds too modern to me. Like a Jet Sim.
