I won't rule out that some not-so-reasonable motives come into play here and have some decision makers treat this release as an unwanted stepchild. Speculation of course, but not without precedent.

And no, I certainly don't care for the cover either, but there's no reason to produce something that looks like a bug in Photoshop

Honestly wish this game would release so all of this bickering/nitpicking/speculation can just stop. I know i'm complaining about complainers, but jeezuz, I want to come here for some insightful information and I have to sift through so much bull $hiT just to get some.

Okay I'm done, sorry for that, but these forums are a bit of a joke sometimes.
If you really think the whining will stop once it's released, then I'm afraid you're in for a surprise... this is just the warm up - welcome to the internet!

hehe, well glad to hear you were only semi serious. After all the flaming i've read today I think I was just expecting the worst. You're right about the whining not stopping, I actually felt silly writing that, but was too lazy to backspace on my iphone..... Glad you called me on that, because it's probably the farthest thing from the truth anyone could ever say heheh.

Anyway sorry to have singled you out there with that post, only the first part was for you, the rest was in general.

Another marvellous find ppl will complain about for several pages!

As it was stated before, the biggest, inherent flaw of this cover is that it shows spit scoring a 109, not the other way around, as it supposed to be.

I might add, as a form of consolation, that you don't really need to care about cover if

Isn't that a Focke Wulf 190 on the cover? Perhaps they couldn't find a picture of a Hellcat in time...

When I fist saw the picture I thought this as well, round engine, rectangle shaped elevators, but didn't commented since I had sleepy eyes, could've been mistaken

True.
I'm really pissed they force us into steam - but since they do, what benefit do I get if I buy the hardcopy?
None.

Made me decide to go the download way, not from steam, though.

Looks a little that way but since it's a spin off of the previous cover leaked, it's a 109.
