In English, the phrase does not read very well. I would suggest the title be more about aircraft and flying than War itself. It would have more dignity when introduced to the non-initiates.

If you were to say to the average person with no previous background in flight sims, "I play Storm of War on the internet and always fight with honour." They would look at you with pity.

Oleg's already expressed his point of view. It's the publisher who has the final say and they will probably do whatever the heck they like. The only thing I can imagine changing their minds would be some sort of massed email/letter campaign by fans to keep the SOW:BOB name with a well thought out and reasoned explanation why it should be.

Given the 1C community who posts about SOW, coming off as rational or coherent in written form might be a problem!

Right now the publishers are banking on the IL-2 name carrying them in Russia and Eastern Europe where the game is much more popular and IL-2 has better name recognition and cultural significance. In the west, they're probably going to keep the SOW title. If they don't, and go the IL-2 naming route it would probably be the equivalent of Spielberg's marketing department doing this. . .

"I know, lets name take the name of one of his earlier successes, and add it to the start of this new one! That way fans will know that it's by the same guy, and they're both similar. . . even though they're sort of different.
