IL2 BoP HAS an iconic plane on the cover, namely a Stuka dive bomber. And thats getting shot to s**t by a pair of spitfires. Cant get more iconic than that. And it doesnt matter of the masses are familiar with the IL2 or not, most know of the previous PC game already. SO adding it to the console version was a way to practically gaurantee sales, specifically from the PC sim crowd. This is because some people seem to forget that just because you have one system (ie PC) that does not preclude you from having another (IE PS3/360).

And btw I have pals who dont give a rats ass what the name is or whats on the cover and play a demo of a title first before buying. For BoP this meant 2 of my mates bought it on release, with a third cadging it from me on occasion when Im not playing. That is what sells games not fancy pants covers and silly names. Good demos for good games win hands down every time.
