SoW: Battle for Moscow and other Igromir news

[pupo162]

my HUMBLE opinion.

when i talk to my friends it goes always somehting like this

"hye guys a new update of SOW is out"

"sow?"

"yeah, the new il2"

"ahhh, show me! show me!"


neverthelesse, this just mainly becosue in my langiuage SOW when read soudns rather awfull and hard to understnad while IL2 is catchy.
o nthe other end, calling il2 to the new sim would be pointless and sord of a lie.

"il2: battle of britain" - but you cant fly il2 tough.

keep it SOW. and more inportant than that, its going to stay BOB, becosue no matter our opinion, the name has been decided even before i started playing il2 the first place.

I thinks short and snappy will appeal to the market.

in my opinion a new name is a good idea, but to make other remember of its roots to il2 maybe put something liek a signature tehy wrote thanking us in il1946 cover.:

-------------from the creators of the Il2 ( sturmovik series)
----------------------- ''The name of the series''

this to show
the expansion-----------''Battle of Britain'' although this might be the title itself
or
---------------------------Battle of moscow


and here or up the main title : From the creators of the [successful] ( legendary) Il2 series
so u have a new name of the series, you remember the il2 series
and you put other names below for the pack like BoB
thanks
PS i do not prefer something that says oleg maddox( but ok the maddox games), not for not respect, in the contrary i admire his dedication, as he is not alone in the dev, there is a team and i think all of it has to be recognized

if we are speaking about the evolution of il2 series, then the perfect name should be:

IL3: Batle of ....

Yes!
And the sequels might be IL4,IL5,IL6...
Very clever!

I remember how much of a kick I got out of the box art from "Pacific Fighters". It was a great box and also for once in a blue moon a Zero wins a fight in a advertisement for some product sold in North America.

Oh I like this. You could just change where "The Battle Of Britain" is in the title each time and add on came out. This is the best idea yet in my opinion.

Maddox Games
Storm Of War
Part One
The Battle Of Britain

[Gourmand]

il2 sturmovik
il2 sturmovik: forgotten battles
il2 sturmovik: pasific fighters
il2 sturmovik: 1946
il2 sturmovik: birds of prey (by different creators, it's no simulator and lacks a lot of things (good damage models, mission builder etc))
il2 sturmovik: wings of prey (also not by Oleg Maddox Games)
il2 sturmovik: battle of britain (by Oleg Maddox Games, new engine, simulator)
il2 sturmovik: Battle for Moscow
il2 sturmovik: Korean Theater Ops
il2 sturmovik: aarg! too much!

you should thinking "market"...
if i'm a newbee who bought il2 surmovik : battle of britain and who like it...
if in shop i see IL2 sturmovik: 1946, i surely buy it thinking it's the sequel...


for me, i do not care the name, and i hope the question of naming is not delay the release

il2 sturmovik: battle of britain is the same confusion than il2 sturmovik : pacific fighters
and it did not prevent release it
