dubious you say...hmmm...well that could explain why so many apparently believe that Ubi is out of the loop, and Oleg not saying anything officially before the deal is final is reasonable I guess..

kinda strange if they opted to wait for this long before securing a publisher isn't it? I would have thought that it would among some of the very first things to check off on the list, but then again I'm clueless when it comes to software development.

and as you said, maybe some of the 'older' guys (based on the date you registered ) have more info/insight on this..

"In his statment "The 1c team have their own testers" who are obviously putting the game through its pacesm I would be very surprised ifr 1c is not the distributer "

if I'm not mistaken here, that is the case in russia atleast. But I can't really think of any games produced by 1C that have actually been published by themselves in europe and the U.S though?

505games springs to mind as they were the publishers of both NecroVision and Men of War in Europe

Oleg, please look here - flames from the exhaust tubes - Spitfire - Merlin engine at P-51!
Unbelievable - this is how Spitfire have to look at engine start! Look at this feature from the start of the video.

I believe 1C is going to be the publisher in Russia, but in Europe and USA is the question. Also, some folks have spoken with a few people up the chain in Ubisoft (supposedly anyway) and they had no idea what this Storm of War stuff was. Back in like 2006 is the last Ubi said ANYTHING about it and back then it was just Battle of Britain. If Ubi was the publisher, then there would be no need to keep the name of the publisher secret since Ubi announced BoB in 2006, but since Ubi is NOT the publisher, then the new publisher is the secret.

100% Correct, It was me who spoke to Ubisoft's James O'Reilly, he confirmed over a year ago that Ubi were no longer involved - I did post it here many times but i was obviously called a liar and rubbished by the usual suspects.

But if so, there shouldn't be any problem for Oleg to confirm that UBI S**t are no longer involved because I don't think there are people only buying this when UBI publishes it.

I reckon there's no way it's Ubi..

Ubisoft were gonna publish IL-2 BoP on consloles, they switched over to Hero's over the Pacific (or whatever it was called, it was awful!) so BoP was published by 505 Games (this turned out to be a huge mistake as they pulled support for it within 6 months and left the xbox version un patched).

I don't know if this is relevant or not, Gajin (Russian console devs responsible for BoP linked with 1C/Maddox Games) are due to release an Apache 'sim' on Consoles next month, the publisher is Activision.

Now some wild speculation.. How about Activision?

The stack fires in that video do not always happen. Generally it's because the engine has been over primed.

Ubisoft was the previous publisher and I think some people found dubious evidence of their plans to publish SoW.

I'm not one of the old timers here so someone else may chime in to answer your questions more thoroughly.

"Reading between the lines"...I would agree that Oleg has (probably) made a deal with a publisher, and I would guess that the publisher has the legal responsibility for making any (and all) announcements that might effect promotion for the up-coming game.

Oleg is probably forbidden (by agreement) from making any announcement that might concern any aspect of "how the game will be sold". Its one thing for Oleg to post screen shots of the beta or explain rudimentary aspects of their work...and yet another, for him to announce the publisher, release dates, or web site, ect....

Yes. To me it seems quite normal that he can't comment on release...it is the distributors concern, not his. It would be strange if he signed a contract with a company to do marketing and distribution; and then went out and told everyone when and who is releasing it...it is just that that is their job!
