Storm of War-Battle of Britain was probably considered to be too violent a title...I think a broad mix sales target was considered more likely, having a neutral sounding title.

Uhhh...well....Isn't Combat aviation, aerial warfare supposed to be a bit violent? Have you seen any of the X-rated Carnage spewed out in FPS 'games'???


As to a proper title for SOW:BOB, how about:

"Tea and Crumpets at Four O'Clock"
A proper social engagement gone awry....Pity, ehh what?

"Their Finest Hour" would of been perfect.

i suspect it was simply the outcome of a pen pusher management meeting at ubi, because they wanted to
1) use a product name which still has il2-sturmovik in it, for name recognition with new customers ( and ride on the tailcoats of the reputation oleg has build with his previous series)
2) avoid confusion with the already existing battle of Britain product from Rowan

personally i think ubi made (again) a bad marketing decision. the SoW name for the new oleg series is pretty good and has a nice ring to it, and calling the first in the series BoB is pretty self evident (since that is exactly what it is). having that name for a product just after all the media focus on the event anniversary is also a big plus. they could just have added "from the makers of the il2-sturmovik series" to the box art and that would have been enough imho. SoW is also a new product which will have significantly different new features (integrating land, sea and air combat etc), so having the name change after 10 yrs of il2-sturmovik is a logical progression (partic since the new game engine will be expanded by 3e parties).

They are just scared people might think Sow:Bob is a farming simulator starring Bob, the sow! Cod would then be the fish farm addon
