I doubt the Cliffs of Dover..IL-2 Sturmovik name will be a problem at all. Nobody cares what the initials will be, and nobody outside the combat flight sim gaming community has any idea what an IL-2 Sturmovik is, but they'll probably recognise the British Spitfire, and White Cliffs of Dover on the box.

Cliffs of Dover will initially sell much better than IL-2 did because many in the community never heard of IL-2 on release. They were busy flying EAW, CFS2,3 etc. Now most of the flight sim community flys IL-2 so theres a real boost. It will be the Spitfire etc. on the box cover that will sell the game to the uninitiated.

Personally I'm NOT worrying about all this "broo-ha-ha"...in the end, it will all be ok.

Oleg has never let me down yet...

+1 on the name won't matter, but the quality of the game will be the real deal.

They could call it Merlin vs Daimler Benz, but its just cool Oleg is keeping us updated.






fixed it :

Merlin v's Diamler Benz... hmmm, conjures up images of a Wizard in battle with The Black Knight.

In terms of real life sound the DB beats the Merlin hands down. That late model DB whistle and growl is hair raising.

You can call Ubisoft a lot of things but they must have a very big market research division.
They most likely played with about a 100 different names before choosing the one they have.
Even Oleg said he was not happy with SOW. I would however be interested to know what the engine will be called?
You will most likely find that the 'IL2 Surmovik' brand is carried through to the rest of the expansions (DLC) 'IL2 Stormovik Battle for Malta'
