See we are the hardcore, we know and love IL2. But we hardcore simmers are about 1% of IL2 sales sadly. They need a name and boxart that grabs these casual gamers attention, not confuse them with a Battle of Britain sim that is named after a Russian ground attack plane... Like others have said at least in the West give it a new name, with maybe Oleg's name above it: Oleg Maddox's STORM OF WAR : The Battle of Britain the new sim from the makers of IL2

In Russia, IL2 is an aircraft with a particular meaning (the same is for the SU-25), but for the others is only a "Red Star" that does remember them the best sim they have had for 10 years, and 10 years are really a lot for a product. But what you say about new customers is correct. Last edited by 150GCT_Veltro; 11-11-2010 at 06:00 PM.

For me, "Storm of War :" sounds great as the series title, then *insert here* for particular instalment. As has been previously mentioned, IL-2 vets will buy this no matter what, they are already sold. It's the newbies and those curious about WWII combat flight sims you need to attract.
Nothing wrong with including something like "from the makers of IL-2:Sturmovik" as a sub header either, probably a good idea. Its a quality brand and many of those who are not flight sim nuts have heard of it.....In the same way that those who know nothing about American football or Ice Hockey have heard of Dan Marino and Wayne Gretzsky!  Its win win all the way, no matter what you call it this will be a success, be sure.

IL2 is the brand recognized worldwide.
Doesn't make sense to change the branding after over 10 years of very positive success with it. Changing it would just confuse people and possibly help competitors. IL2 is terrific... a 3 letter brand associated with the highest quality air combat flight simulator. Nope, I say keep the gal you brought to the dance. You'll not regret it. Look at MSFT and others they all try to create identity for their brands into a few letters... Halo, WoW, MoH, EAW, etc. I still think ---- Auntie's Outhouse has a nice ring to it, and it can translate to AOH.

I think Storm of War, if possible, is better than Maddox Simulations. Purely because it gives an idea of the game genre, it works well for all subsequent combat-flight-sims, and also it's catchy. Maddox Simulations sounds very professional, but in a title as such may sound a bit too vein? For example, "Infinity Ward: Modern Warfare_" The Infinity Ward name may come into the title, but usually only to present the game: "Infinity Ward presents", and with JAMF's example we already have: "The Creators of Il-2 Sturmovik Present..." If Maddox Simulations was to be in the title, I don't think it should be part of the main-title in this way. Just my 2P

Whenever I see a movie being released that says..." from the makers of...."
or " from the director of...." I always think that the new film must stink as they wouldn't bother saying that otherwise !!!! keep it simple - Battle Of Britain, The flight sim - by 1c/Maddox games Battle Of The Med, The flight sim - " " " Battle Of Korea, The flight sim - " " " ps - by the way Oleg what's the release date?
