As an American I am VERY interested in BoB. Before I discovered IL-2 I played all the BoB campaigns in European Air War several times and hardly anything else. All my quick missions were BoB oriented. As a child my first plastic model was a Spitfire as it was the coolest looking WW II kit on the shelves to my eye. Don't underestimate American's interest in what was truly one of the most heroic struggles of WW II.

Ad nauseum? Most have done a decent job and at least to me I find them fun to fly. But then that's just me.

Although I will most likely play IL-2 for some time after the release of BoB, until more theaters and aircraft are put in, I will still buy it as soon as it's released and again take to the skies to defend England from the Nazi menace.

My 2 shillings worth.

If it needs confirming, it's the quality of the sim, not the theatre of war, at least within reason. Most of us would be more than happy to fly the non-digitised jets of the Korean War, just as we enjoy flying for Finland against the Russians, for Russia against the Germans, for Germany against the British, etc etc.

IL2 on the Russian Front became successful because of the quality of the sim. Storm of War will surely do the same. It won't matter how many BoB sims there have been or anyone's innate interest the battle. If Storm of War brings flight sims to a new level, the masses will follow.

Just what I was thinking.

I first got hooked on a flight sim called Red Baron (the original dos game), way back in the day. Since then I have bought almost every single one, be they helicopter, jet or space.
Nothing has compared to IL2 in the WW2 era and nothing is quite as good as Lomac (lockon flaming cliffs) post prop (and before I get flamed again this is only my opinion). But that said I always did like Rowan's Mig Alley, the conscept not the execution. Always thought they missed the boat, so jets over Korea in a brand new sim sounds cool.
