I'm a huge fan of BOB WOV and the AI is good but no better than IL-2's. The AI not being able to see thru clouds is a myth and I could carry on with a great many issues in both sims. Hopefully the next generation Merlin and SOW engines will improve on both.

Seriously?
What reason would I have, but here is a site selling the game in South Africa, if you look closely you will find the Ubisoft logo on the box. Not as clear as the German one but please, if you need more proof...
Google.com is a great tool.

Let me stress again, I have BoB 2 WOV. It is a great sim, I even own the original Rowan's incarnation.
But compared to IL2 it is just not quite there and this is because it is not a flight simulator but a massive strategic simulation of the Battle of Britain that allows you to fly into the very heart of the action.
It is great, I fly it alot but no, it is no Il2, if you have ever dropped down low over the countryside you will know what I mean.
And so using the Merlin Engine will not make a better sim than SOW. It might make a better sim than BoB2 WOV. And yes I will buy it when it comes out as well.
But then I like anything that says Joystick required

Must admit, "Exclusive" games by Ubisoft are very unbranded. No homepage and no mention on Ubisoft site at all, even when they are selling their own games. But every few months all these little gems become available at real bargain prices.
What is more laughable is they are selling pacific fighters, il2 forgotten battles, a gold edition comprising Il2 forgotten battles, pacific fighters and Lomac(lock on) plus they then have the exclusive range which sells Il2 1946 for one tenth the price and lock on even cheaper all on the same shelves at some stores...

Impressive. I take it that CFS3 planes are no longer 3 times the correct size? That and the ludicrous stalls was why I threw away CFS many moons ago.
