I disagree with this. You ask any casual gamer or casual aviation video game fan what IL2 is and highly doubt they even know what it is. It is a very popular and strong market name in the FLIGHT SIM community yes, but not with the masses. And in order for BoB to be a success, it will have to cross over and appeal to casual non simmers.
See we are the hardcore, we know and love IL2. But we hardcore simmers are about 1% of IL2 sales sadly.
They need a name and boxart that grabs these casual gamers attention, not confuse them with a Battle of Britain sim that is named after a Russian ground attack plane...
Like others have said at least in the West give it a new name, with maybe Oleg's name above it:
Oleg Maddox's
STORM OF WAR : The Battle of Britain
the new sim from the makers of IL2
