SR-F_Winger Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 Anyone else noticed that on practically every single artwork for the IL2 series, be it loadingscreens or anything else, its always the german plane that burns? A more neutral approach would be more appropriate IMHO. What do you think? 1
Alkyan Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 I think it's for balancing reasons. Russian's planes burn on multiplayer, german's ones on artwork. Seems fair. 12
Finkeren Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 I think it has been brought up before. As long as the loading screens simply outbalance the LW dominance in terms of the quality of planes (which is how it should be for 1942, don't get me wrong) I don't think there's a problem. Besides: They're just posters. On most theatrical posters you'll always have a focus on the triumph of the good guys over the bad guys.
Finkeren Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 But I'll give you this: For BoM I would like a different tone. On at least one of the loading screens it really oughta be an Italian plane that burns.
Rama Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 Someone's really watching the loading screens? No kidding... 2
NN_RugbyGoth Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 I remember a loading screen with a russian truck being straffed by a 109... the 109 isn't burning, another is an IL2 being attacked by 2 109s, The Il2 and the first 109 are hit, the second 109 is achieving the Il2... It seems like you are focusing on only a few artworks. Perhaps someone can show all those artworks?
Siipiorava Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 The game is called Battle of Stalingrad, maybe the destruction of german planes in the loading screen is symbolism to the outcome of the battle.
I/JG27_Rollo Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 But I'll give you this: For BoM I would like a different tone. On at least one of the loading screens it really oughta be an Italian plane that burns. Didn't you suggest Romanian last time? Where's your consistency?
VBF-12_Stick-95 Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 I remember a loading screen with a russian truck being straffed by a 109... the 109 isn't burning, another is an IL2 being attacked by 2 109s, The Il2 and the first 109 are hit, the second 109 is achieving the Il2... It seems like you are focusing on only a few artworks. Perhaps someone can show all those artworks? There is also the one of an IL-2 strafing the German train.
-TBC-AeroAce Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 If there is a bias which I'm not sure about I think it's fair the game is named after a Russian plane, the Russians on the battle.....
IIN8II Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 I believe the Germans had more technologically superior art, but the Russians made up for it with sheer numbers. 4
1CGS LukeFF Posted March 3, 2015 1CGS Posted March 3, 2015 Obviously another reason that shows the developers are slanted towards Soviet aircraft.
BraveSirRobin Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 We need load screens with the real hero of WW2, the mighty P-51. 1
KoN_ Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 We need load screens with the real hero of WW2, the mighty P-51. lol your kidding right . 2
6./ZG26_Custard Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 We need load screens with the real hero of WW2, the mighty P-51. lol your kidding right . I hope he is!
hawkim Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 I hope he is! Course he is, everyone knows it was the Avro Rota mk 1 that won ' teh war'
GOAT-ACEOFACES Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 Someone's really watching the loading screens? No kidding... LOL
6./ZG26_Custard Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 (edited) I thought the Helldiver won the war? Surely the best all-round aircraft of the war did the de Havilland Mosquito I am kidding of course but what an outstanding aircraft she was. Edited March 3, 2015 by OriginalCustard
=AVG=Zombie Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 In all the artwork the aircraft are shooting bullets, BS, always discriminating against lasers.....
Y-29.Silky Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 I noticed this too. But I also realized that if the developers were German, they wouldn't have a picture of a 109 being shot down either.
15[Span.]/JG51Costa Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 (edited) I remember a loading screen with a russian truck being straffed by a 109... the 109 isn't burning, another is an IL2 being attacked by 2 109s, The Il2 and the first 109 are hit, the second 109 is achieving the Il2... It seems like you are focusing on only a few artworks. The russian truck doesn´t recives a single hit... The IL-2 Has no hit at all and one of the Bf 109 is burning. There is also the one of an IL-2 strafing the German train. Yes and the train is blowing and derailing ... Edited March 3, 2015 by 15[Span.]/JG51Costa
BraveSirRobin Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 We need a load screen with a picture of Hitler frolicking in a flower/puppy filled meadow. In before the lock!! 2
6./ZG26_Custard Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 We need a load screen with a picture of Hitler frolicking in a flower/puppy filled meadow. Haven't got Hitler but will Julie do as a starter for 10?
BraveSirRobin Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 Not quite the same. We really need Hitler. And puppies.
Chuck_Owl Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 (edited) That's about the most ridiculous/useless concern I've ever heard. Am I really reading a legit demand to see more russian burning planes in the loading screens of the game? Give me a break lol Loading screens are loading screens, not essays on WW2 history.. They can show whatever they darn well please. Anyway, it doesn't matter. I predict this thread is gonna turn into a pointless FM debate in 3... 2... 1... Edited March 3, 2015 by 71st_AH_Chuck

To me you really seem to have a problem. Did you read the title? Where was the ignorebutton again? EDIT: Got it.

II/JG17_HerrMurf Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 (edited) Julie is rocking that frock and she is not even concerned about FM's just look at her face But the airflow over her outstretched arms is all wrong. They'd never generate enough lift at that density altitude. She needs to spin much faster according to the data. Amirite, Crump, Rama, AoA, Chuck, Celestiale, Kwaitek, et all? I keed, I keed..................... Has anyone posted a video of this to Han yet? Edited March 3, 2015 by HerrMurf 1

BraveSirRobin Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 Well, one who asks for people's opinions shouldn't be surprised when he receives it. I think he just wanted the opinions of people who agree with him. 1
=AVG=Zombie Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 Well the germans lost so seeing them burning is kind of what happened anyway. 2
Caudron431 Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 Come on it's not as if the Germans were the bad guys...Of course there was that Austrian guy with teh mustacch, he was really really mean, but other than that nazi Germany in Europe and in Russia, it was all about neutrality, chivalry, fairness, and good spirit, "be sure" ™ "Hope that helps" ©
