IL-2: CoD is going to be a completely new game, new engine, and is stand-alone. It is not an update. It is also completely unrelated to IL-2: WoP.

I think we should make a petition to Ubi to change the name, but it's way too late now I think.

+1..

The best title for this would have been

From the creators of the Award winning IL2 series:
Storm of War:Cliffs of Dover

Who knows.. maybe there was some legal issue with Storm of War.. but then again .. I was under the impression that UBI would not be the publisher of this... so maybe this is just some UBI pencil pusher marketing BS where some jerk behind a desk who has no clue decided that this would be best... name recognition and all...
Regardless.. though and hopefully inspite of UBI .. this sim will take off.. Ihave already preordered my DD.. and I'll probably get the CE too.. but a little later. I just hope that the CP is decent enough to enable 1C to make some bread.. this sim has been in developement for too long for them to loose but so much to piracy..

I cant imagine that UBI will be able to use the initials CoD or refer to this software as anything other than Cliffs of Dover...given that Call of Duty is an EA game and well established by the CoD moniker. I hear lawyers lurking in the foyer already...

Someone at UBI must enjoy stepping on his own junk -

"IL2 Sturmovik - Seeds of Litigation:Copyright of Doom"

Glad its not my problem - the only thing I'm concerned with is being able to afford the new rig I'm going to need sooner rather than later

Su-26 (The plane Oleg designed )

And the announcement says 13 non-flyables, so,

Anson
Defiant
Gladiator
Sunderland
Wellington

Bf-108
Do-17
Do-215(?)
He-59
He-115

CR-42

Cierva C.30 (Autogyro)(?)

I'm drawing a blank on the other non-flyables.

I think that's a good list you got there, with some minor discrepancies between your memory and mine
First of all, i think they count different variants as extra flyables. For example, i remember seeing 2-3 different Spit variants in the Igrommir videos. There's also a rumor that the 109E will have two variants as well, one with manual prop pitch and one with the automatic system.
Second, i have a faint recollection of Luthier mentioning that the autogyro is flyable.

There were 4 different Spitfires in the plane selection menu of one of the Igromir videos, MkI early, MkIa, MkIb, and MkIIa

But I don't think the around a dozen number for flyables includes type variants, because there have been pictures of the cockpits of all the planes I listed as flyable.

I think you are right about the autogyro though, I seem to remember either Oleg or Luthier saying something about the thrill of dodging Messerschmidt attacks while flying it.
