These kinds of thread really are quite insulting that you think an idea pulled out of thin air is better than the market research and surveys done by marketeers in the 1C Company.

what he said +1
i mean come on if someone who doesnt know of the il2 series came across this game they would know instantly what it is just take a look at the box art a great big flaming stuka being shot down by a spitfire wouldnt take a genius to work out what the game was about would it ??

i think they should leave the brand name as it is
