I wanna be your ban hammer
Why don't you call my name?
Ah oh, let me be your ban hammer
This will be my testimony
Yeah (yeah)

 

Ban....  Ban...

 

I don't have a hammer, but limp-wristedly swinging a nerfbat with 'Ignore' emblazoned on it, gives me almost as much of a rush now.

Alrighty then...  Give'r.

Sorry, as this is the English forum, I'll translate for all.

 

Alright, I don't fully understand what your issue is, but if you feel like you have to react in a certain way, then feel free.  I'll await your response.  I'm Canadian, I mean you no harm.  Sorry for any misunderstanding. 

[Wardog5711]

Well, I do have a ban hammer. A big one. 

I'd rather keep it in it's locked case until needed.

But I'm not going to have any more keyboard duels in this thread, so the keys to that case are in my hand.

I t ally don't understand it. Soviet career is impossible to "finish" as it ends in 1943. 

The Soviet roster is also incomplete as it lacks any true late war planes like the Yak-3, La-7, TU2 and late model IL-2s or IL-10s. 

 

Why do most people on the forum seem to hate the idea of a new dlc being a late war Eastern Front module when he have zero so far? 

 

 

 

 

Despite this, Yak-3 have been used massively in the last 2 years. And it was with the Yak-3 that, in technical terms, the 109s began to lose. A bit unfair to keep them out of the game, while we have Me-262, for example, that only 300 saw combat in the war, in the house of dozens times less than the Yak-3

For me..  La, yak, IL's and all that just are not interesting to me in any way. They all seem so basic, rag-tag and are ugly looking. The names of towns and locations are hard to pronounce. The areas all look exactly the same.. bleak/bland and no real "nice looking view". That's why I don't like the Eastern Front. Also I'm American. So I have my bias. I want Pacific or something the American's took part in.

OK, lets leave modern American politics out of the discussions. 

My home countries internal issues are as F'd up as a football bat, so we aren't any better than a lot of other places these days.

The failed attempt at humor has been hidden. Move along.....

"The names of towns and locations are hard to pronounce."

?

Not exactly sure, why you brought up, you´re an American.  Nothing wrong with it, is it?

You want something, the Americans took part in? You´ve got those titles already. If it is "IL2 Naval Air Services", "IL2 The Pacific", you´re after, just look at the existing discussions about the improbability of those theaters...

Side note: A lot of the names of villages and towns in foreign countries aren´t easy to pronounce or even to read (example: 東京) and maybe a lot of places aren´t exactly that exciting to look at. Might be true for a lot of places in the world, just saying.

lol, ever been to Ohio?

 

[Koziolek]

On Stalingrad you can at least say, you think you're not in Kansas anymore ?

[Wardog5711]

LOL. I moved to Kansas from Ohio, so I have experience with both.

Kansas is 409 miles wide and a lot of it is rolling prairie.
And there is not much between Denver CO and Kansas City MO to block the wind except you. 

 

[BlitzPig_EL]

Mock Ohio all you want, but I live half an hour from the largest bodies of fresh water on the planet, so don't come whining to me when all your wells are dry, all you folks who moved out to "The Great American Desert" realize that over populating the West wasn't such a good idea.

What this thread (and several others) needs is an influx of Raaaid. Much as I hate to say it, his posts are starting to look less nutz by the day.

Not my fault I look at the Eastern front as bleak and bland as Nebraska, it is what it is. I'm an East Coast person, we have actual scenery. That's why I don't live in the mid-west or out west. As to why I mentioned I'm American, because my bias is quite obviously obvious. I don't want to see another yak or lagg, I want to see more P51s or P38 or JUST MAYBE an A-26 or B-25... something that actually looks good and looks like it can actually fly. Instead of whatever a yak or lagg or La is suppose to be. Ivan's junkyard busted parts catalog? I don't know. I don't care about Eastern Europe or any of those campaigns because they hold no meaning to me other than another bleak and bland area that I don't care about and can't say the names of the towns and have never heard of. As for the Pacific. I've taken part in all those discussions. I'm probably the guy the devs hate the most because I ask about it constantly. I have 1946 and still play it because the pacific campaigns I've made and downloaded. I just want pretty graphics now and something I don't have to mod to hell and back. Currently we have 2 US/UK campaigns and 3 Soviet ones. So yeah we could use another US/UK campaign instead of a 4th Eastern Front campaign. I personally won't buy anymore Eastern Front campaigns, I didn't like any of them but Kuban.

[deathmisser]

This thread is a joy to read.

 

But yea If someone dislikes something you like that not hate it's called being a human with a different opinion.

 

But I agree the eastern front is a bit boring I know it's the flag ship of the series but even ducks need a change in waters.

btw has people forgot that there was another theatre in the air war.

 

The Swiss Alps agree Switzerland was not official as war but it would be fun to have Swiss aircraft in the game.

 

Like the EKW C-36 and a few mods for the MS 406.

Surely we’ll have to wait for B17’s before we can bomb Switzerland?

[Guest deleted@83466]

Unless they start yodeling, and then we can’t afford to wait for B-17’s.

Tbh the only way IL-2 GB can move forward is to make these four engine bombers.

 

 

Btw what if the new engine upgrade is to help them implement four engine bombers ? ?

Really? How many more times it has to be repeated that 4 engine bombers are possible on the existing engine

 

It is just a question of money. And it still will be in a "new project"

I would love to have US 4 engine bombers just so I can shoot them down in a BF109. 

 

Other than Soviet aircraft the only allied aircraft I remotely like is the Mosquito.  

Coming from an American, I find American aircraft extremely boring to use compared to German and Soviet aircraft.

I mean just 4 engine bombers in general would more fun.
