Apologies for unintentionally starting a hare>

Following up the discussion about the Moscow fair and references to IL-2 Battle of Britain I found this site:

http://www.igromir-expo.ru/news1/2010/248

Which, inter alia contained this paragraph:

Посетителей ждут эксклюзивные показы «Red Orchestra 2: Герои Сталинграда», Shogun 2: Total War, «Ил-2 Штурмовик: Битва за Британию», «Ведьмак 2: Убийцы королей», «Полный привод 3», Inversion, F.E.A.R. 3. Афиши с расписанием презентаций будут вывешены в секциях «1С-СофтКлаб». Генеральным техническим партнером выступит компании Meijin и LG, а техническими партнерами — NVIDIA, Defender, A4Tech, Saitek, Gametrix

Which, when translated by Live Search, gave me this:

Visitors waiting for exclusive impressions "Red Orchestra 2: Heroes of Stalingrad 2, Shogun: Total War, IL-2 Sturmovik: Battle of Britain ', ' the Witcher 2: Killer of Kings", "four-wheel drive", Inversion, F.E.A.R. 3. Poster with the schedule of presentations will be posted in section 1С-SoftKlab ". The company's technical partner will speak and LG, Meijin technical partners, NVIDIA, Defender, A4Tech, Saitek Gametrix.

I completely missed the comma after Total War and the fact that Total War was an element of “Shogun 2”. I really must read more carefully, (anybody got a spare copy of “Eats Shoots and Leaves”?).

So my money is back on “Storm of War” for the reasons stated in an earlier thread.

I personally think they should abandon the Il2 tag. It only means something to those that will buy the game anyway. Everyone else wonders what it means. It is confusing and suggests it is aimed at a minimalistic group who would know it.
I have shown IL2 to several people, not one of them knew what IL2 meant or, more importantly how to say it ('eel two', 'ill too', 'aisle two').

If you can't say it you won't buy it!!!!

To be honest, I also was extremely surprised, when I saw this title across the beta loading screen. Not the best choice, IMO

It may be completely wrong, but someone on Russian forum wrote, that according to Oleg, this was publisher's idea.

Sorry for spreading a rumor, he-he. Hopefully, Oleg will clarify this himself.

Yeah, you know, someone has to work hard, while you are wasting your time on this forums.

Actually, I asked Oleg.

The answer was, that he never stated there will be deep craters.

Neither did I, if you read my posts carefully.

I think he said there won't be deep craters due to some sort of game engine restriction. BUT the question is how deep is deep? I would imagine they will have some depth, just not 10ft deep.

I need to chill a little in-between CTDs.

Believe me, there is nothing to be jealous about. The build, that I have isn't in the state, where one can enjoy the game. But, even though, it looks very, very promising.
