In desperation to defend your chosen flight sim y'all totally missed my point, excuse me, ignored my point. OK whatever! y'all are much better pilots than those who play WT. I salute you. So let me get this straight, you came here, to the IL2 forum, talked a load of crap about the game and compared it to one of the most arcade style WW2 flight games out, and are taken aback by the people here being rightly miffed? Just trying to get this right here. Truly shocking. Foresight you lack! 1 1
Rolling_Thunder Posted March 18, 2019 Posted March 18, 2019 (edited) Let me lay it out straight for you. I came here to a thread about warthunder. I talked about the similarities between the way folk play both games. I pointed out that it doesn't matter how well the aircraft are modeled in this game if the MP community decide to play the game as an arcade shooter. So you may be trying but...I'm afraid you didn't get it right. Comprehension you lack! You're as bad as the DCS folk who call GB "sim lite" it's all rather pathetic really Edited March 18, 2019 by Rolling_Thunder 1
Field-Ops Posted March 18, 2019 Posted March 18, 2019 ^ I guess all flight sims are doomed to actually be arcade shooters then
kurtj Posted March 18, 2019 Posted March 18, 2019 (edited) Personally, I’ve tried all three and spend most time in BoX... as a fan of historic aviation I think it’s fantastic to have such good options. As an American football fan, I quit on the monopoly that exists in gaming there a decade ago. It’s a beautiful thing to have options and competition. Edited March 18, 2019 by kurtj
6FG_Big_Al Posted March 18, 2019 Posted March 18, 2019 Well, I don't know. This discussion is slowly escalating. War Thunder has I just think other goals than BoX. What they have in common is that they are in the WW2 sector and allow combined operations. The tanks in IL-2 are still in their early stages. And just like in War Thunder there will always be "Arcade" players who are only looking for fast action like that. But there is this, I think, bigger part of people who want to fly this game with friends or squadrons - and they go to other servers like TAW, KotA, WoL etc. then. I personally have played WT since 2012, very long and very extensively. And to be honest, I am simply happier with IL-2. It is more difficult, more detailed and more differentiated. I am also always surprised by the closeness to the developers here - which is not the case with Gaijin. In the end, everyone should play what they like most. have a nice day, Rico

When it comes to divorce, you will be stripped down to your underpants. I went through this... ....but it`s worth it in the end to have your own sovereignty again - and to be able to fly! 1
=FEW=fernando11 Posted March 18, 2019 Posted March 18, 2019 (edited) Aaaaaand the Troll of the Year award goes to: @Rolling_Thunder !!! If YOU decide to play MP in the most arcade way don't blame the GAME, and yes, it is a game. Now, if you belive that fidelity of the airplanes modeled makes no diference, suit yourself, I personaly think you couldn't be more wrong. But before shitting on the game for the way YOU choose to play it, maybe join a more realism oriented server. Try to fly with a group/squad, make a long bombing sorty, or some ground atack with coordinated fighter cover, all while in coms. Right now there is a TAW dinamic campaign going on, log in some hours, then tell us what you think. Edited March 18, 2019 by =FEW=fernando11 Misspeled award 1 1 1
