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.

OFF is definately not CFS3. Much , much better. When Phase 3 is released it will be very good indeed. With Phase 3 there will be very little of CFS3 left in. Until KOTS comes out it will tide any WWI flyers over nicely. See here:

Yeah if you look close at that you'll pay more for PF, FB, FB+AE gold then you would for just one copy of 1946 and they don't really tell you which is which, for the uneducated you might think you need them all.

The other Bob is quite credible in many respects. It has a lot of fans and a long community history with plenty of volunteer labour involved, so I would watch out if I were you.

I have a copy of the original (although I fly Il-2 more often). I find it amusing that they are adding a tiger-moth (and just after Oleg announced it for his sim).

The CFS issues is a bit more terrifying. Especially considering they now have a copy of Oleg's sources code and data files (which would save them a lot of time).
