Just another post to say how much respect I have for this sim and team

[spamRoast]

I played the original IL-2 back in the day and loved it, but I wasn't too serious about learning about planes or tactics back then. I then had a long period where I didn't game at all because I was focused on other things so I missed some flight sims in between (like CLoD, RoF etc). But recently I decided I wanted to game again and built a new machine. I was excited to see that there was a new IL-2 title that had matured for a bit. I picked up BoS in December '17 and I love this sim! The feeling of flight is like nothing I've experienced and the combat gets so intense that I forget where I am. The flight models are great and the damage models are top notch. I remember being awestruck the first time I shot off an enemies wing that took out my prop. I've also gotten a new found interest in learning about different planes and learning more about combat tactics. After BoS, I picked up BoK early release and the map and planes are fantastic, but when it finally released, it was the new career mode that I was most excited about. The level of detail is incredible. I can't imagine the amount of research that went into determining the actual units, where they were located or where/when they were relocated, and the progression of the front lines. Since then I've picked up BoM and some of the extra planes once I had the money (yak1b ftw). Every time I hop into a plane I feel like I'm in another world in 194x which is exactly what a sim should do! Things are rough around the edges as most sims are, but for one, I trust that things will keep getting fixed up and secondly, you do things right where they matter the most.

 

I have the upmost respect for your team and the products you've created and I really can't wait for the things coming up next. BoBP looks like it will be great with the maps and the advanced planes... and then pacific... omfg. Keep up the awesome work!

Ugh, okay. I admittedly could've proofread and separated things into more paragraphs, but it was written hastily since I had somewhere to be after I'd started it. There hardly needs to be 6 paragraphs to make the couple points I made though. And it's irrelevant anyway since the point of my post was to praise the developers and the team, not to create a post written in perfect English. Others seem to be able to understand it. I'm sorry you felt the need to correct me.

 

Unless you did this to make translations easier, you didn't format it so you can read it, you formatted it to insult me.

TL;DR for those who cannot understand my original post:
To the developers and team, I love your products.

 

Good job.

 

Keep up the good work.

 

I can't wait for the next things you release.

obit, you can't please ALL the people in a forum. I guess that Sketch meant it a bit ironic.
And he also didn't do a perfect job. I still find it hard to read so much text early in the morning.

More coffee...

Meh, no big deal. I can't even understand my own post after a night of drinking. Hope everyone can ignore my annoying rant. No hard feelings.
