The British actually have been taking a look at SB, one of the lads on ARRSE mentioned it. I don't think it's going to go anywhere though, certainly the lads at Lulworth/Bovington didn't seem to know much about it.
SB1 re-proved the old saw about gameplay/sound being more important than graphics.
That said, E-Sim are under no delusions about the casual gamer forking out US$125 for a game, regardless of how accurate it is, unless it appeals to the casual gamer in the shallow terms that casual gamers understand (Eye candy, play balance, ease of play). That's why Pro PE is so called, and SB2 is going to be more 'mass market' PE is marketed towards real tankers, such as myself, or those who are really, really, seriously, totally, into tanks. It makes no concessions to play balance, calling in artillery is now a lot more complex, and the eye candy is to the level of 'what's acceptable for the purposes'
