I get a chuckle out of the people who keep telling the hardcore guys.. "Come on it's just a game". If you have Utorrent you should be able to download the movie. It's great!

I flew against the American guys for years in Warcloads if I remember right but couldn't stand the icons So I switched to Spits VS 109s. Much better.

I have seen this programme.It was very interesting to see the different nationalities and outlook of people in il2, a lot of whom I fought against and with over the years.

The programme has some questionable editing, and, TBH, some of those people are more than a little weird and scary.

To some the war is not over...

Agree lol. I'm sure one day some English subtitles will come out for it. I can kind of pick up on a little bit of German if I go back and forth but not much. One of the Russians speaks very good English though and is very funny. You get the feeling that if a couple of these guys got drunk around each other fights would start or blubbering and hugging lol. :salute:

Must see beyond what drives them. It is a showcase of a simmer culture to re-enact a conflict, not the individual "hatreds".

I am not certain about that......

Fly a German plane when 3XX Sqaudron appears, and you might get a differant impression.

Some of those first hand feelings from the thirties and fourties I have heard from my parents and grandparents

can still be found.

Yes, that is a individual issue, not a culture issue. :) ( the electro shock jacket dude is an extreme :D )

 

Certainly it is not the norm and many of us have heritage from military if not the air arm itself.

 

It the end is not letting your "alter ego" taking over yourself.

Yes. That's the only thing sadly. :(  Like I said earlier I'm sure one person will make some subs for it. Actually it would have to be a team. There are three dialects there.

Interesting... But looking at some of these guys I'm happy that for me it is just a game. Sadly the Polish here are the only ones using dirty words...

One tiny sidenote. Notice there are two groups of Polish flying IL2. The 3xx guys and the laid back LW fliers that have little in common with them.

True. It seems they were having quite a laugh.

I must say I have kinda mixed feelings after watching this movie. It is really nice that somebody's interest in his county's history can be projected on the person's hobby of simming and participation in virtual clashes. However I am suprised that such extremal patriotic foundations can lay under somebody's gaming or drive somebodys emotions in game and they can really hate somebody on the other side of the Internet cable. I'm Polish btw and far from hating anyone I fly against.

Yeh I remember getting called nazi scum or something which was a bit irritating for a few seconds. Nothing better that shredding a squad that had been smack talking :D
