Maybe we just have a Spitfire Manual, because as I read here

http://www.gbase.ch/Global/news/IL-2...992/47724.html

that solo campaign ist just playing on British side.

Oh well then the Spit manual will be just fancy toilet paper......
But I most likely will go for the standard version, don´t need no collectors version. Have enough things that collect dust, don´t need no big boxes to add.

Is this real??????

Isn't the Spitfire Manual a manual for a real Spitfire. It has nothing to do with the game. It's a historic treat kind of thing.

Wow!
11 pages in 17 hours.
This has really stirred people up.
I wonder where this "photo" originated from?

Why would one put old shots with very WIP effects on the box.
That's plain stupid.

Temporally placeholders to let the retailers at least have a decent image? Instead of a big question mark, anyway, if this were to be a hoax, it's still good for the promoting of CoD/SoW/BoB !

Why would they make a super realistic sim (yes, I think it will be super-realistic with a good gameplay) with a planes that don't react like it's real life counterpart as it should be perfectly doable?

Like if you get the best performance on the climb from x-y thousand meters with manofiold pressure Z and prop pitch Q then it should not be rocket science to replicate that to the sim either as there normally is plenty of manuals and pilot notes available.

Or if you should lower the gears over X mph then that should be the limit.

Manuals and operational handbooks should be the starting point for modelling planes if a real one is not availeble to model from.

A couple of things, why would there be fake box shots on several online retailers wich are conducting serious business? Also, this game isn't really Gears of War 3, Portal 2 or the new Bioshock game, what's the point of making a fake box-art picture of such a small and unknown title as IL-2? LOL! some of you guys take the brand TOO serious, this is IL-2, NOT Uncharted or any such triple-A title. One more thing, collectors edition is MINE!

It looks like they have exaggerated the size of the box. If it is to contain one 'silk' map and two book it doesn't need to be much bigger than the DVD box in dimnsions, just a bit deeper.
