Eidos, who are publishing Battlestations have done a great job promoting what really is a niche type of game, which is sort of where flight sims have ended up as well.
Its a solid title that blends some mild sim across different types of WWII units with a strategy/action element that works, even with a moderate learning curve. They've promoted it well and added some DLC down the line and its done well enough to spawn a sequel which looks to up the quality further.
I can only hope that IL-2 can meet or succeed this, because BoP really does look friggin gorgeous.
