The funny thing is, if you have a game about the Battle of Britain, its almost a given that there will be a Spitfire on the cover. It's their cliffs, their country, and they won the thing after all.
I wonder though, what impact it would have on the average punter (especialy the British) if you took away all that familiar stuff and presented them with something more stark and threatening.

Looks really good Feathered! :cool:

I too dislike the proposed UK boxart, it's really dull and you can't even see in the cockpits... looks like the plane is filled with concrete or something lol Havn't really seen any promotional content yet that i can say supports what this game deserves. Seems like they're rushing it, and just trying to push it out the door so that we'll quit driving them insane haha Then again there is still plenty of time till release to get it all sorted out. Either way tho I'm buying it. I just hope Oleg makes enough profit so that we can see future titles!

Beautiful :grin:

Thanks. I like the way the title is so completely at odds with the image. I'm no luftie, so for me it's the clash of the two elements that make it look so striking - plus Wiek Luijken is one of the best aviation artists in the business. :)

Yes that is something differant to all the other box art covering the topic "Battle of Britain" as that has become so stereo type that it is boring.
Good show!

I'm English and I really like your cover. It has 'edge' and class.

So the image is copyrighted and cannot be used as such :(

Too bad, wanted to offer it to Ubi
