Battle of Britain Declared (Again)

Ubi Soft Takes to the Skies in the Battle of Britain (thanks Frans) is the press release announcing still another flying combat game based on the World War II conflict Churchill called the RAF's "finest hour." This WW2 combat flight simulator is to be created by 1C: Maddox Games (IL-2 Sturmovik), and the announcement also includes word of plans for an IL-2: Forgotten Battles expansion. Here's a bit on Battle of Britain, not to be confused with LucasArts' Their Finest Hour: The Battle Of Britain (1989), Talonsoft's turn-based BoB game (1999), Rowan's Battle of Britain (Nov 2000), WWII: the Battle of Britain 1940 (due this month from iEntertainment), or many other similarly named projects: "The Battle of Britain will be packed with even more historical realism, and will utilize a new engine, a dynamic campaign system and new weather effects. The game will take place in 1940 during the infamous "Battle of Britain", between England, Germany and Italy, and it will allow players to fly for the British, German or Italian air force."

I like WW2 games. But it does seem like it's being beat to death as subject matter these days. Right now I have RtCW, MoHH:AA Breakthrough, Call of Duty, and Battlefield 1942 demos installed on my machine in addition to a full install of B17: The Mighty 8th. If I wanted to I could pull European Air War and Jane's WW2 Fighters off the bookshelf and install them as well.

I'm not saying I don't like this trend. MoHAA and the Breakthrough expansion pack is shipping to my address as I type this. I just wonder when they're going to focus on other periods like Korea. Mig Alley was a great sim. Viet Nam remains neglected for the most part, though this is changing. The carrier based multiplayer sim is a good idea.
