this is a flight simulator used to train pilots to fly specific aircraft

This is a videogame used to entertain geeks with too much free time and grumpy old pilots trying to recapture their glory years

Settle down there there buddy, we all know you can't log the hours spent on Il2, its for fun (is that why your here too? I cant figure that out?)
BTW I checked and I've never run across the - FAA forum -, so thanks for clearing that up. You have some extra free time too if your reading through this forum.

But given any of my previous discussions with you it should come as no surprise that that has gone completely over your head (I seem to recall one occasion where I made a JOKE and you said "Ban this faggot"). Bottom line: In an economic sense, do you think that the target market of this game is similar to that of any of the games you have mentioned above? Do you think that the vast majority of the audience of this game want aircraft that they can use to play campaigns that actually happened, and where simulating a fictional campaign, don't you think that they'd want aircraft that might have actually POSSIBLY flown in that what-if scenario? THAT is what I am talking about. :rolleyes: *sigh* My faith in the human race wavers yet more. The only reason for the discussion about simulator vs. game is to highlight the difference in the tastes of the fan base of this genre. Any gamer likes a what-if scenario, or a '46 aircraft, but most fans of flight-sims like ones that can still fly using the physical laws of the game engine without having one of these put into the flightmodel to make it take off.

tl;dr

it's a flight simulation game dude, get over it

that was my only point

lol at being scorned over a faggot joke

of course, I wasn't excluding myself, I fall into the "geeks with too much free time" category

Ah, the ignorance of youth.

Imperial Japan lost the day they opened the wider Pacific war.

A. They commited all their reserves from the outset.

B. Their industrial capacity and expertise in manufacturing was well below US and European standards. Yes, they had some very good designers and designs, but no way to bring them to fruition.

C. The Imperial Japanese military was a totally tactical one. Once they had taken all there initial gains, in the first six months of the war they had no way to capitalize on their success. They had next to no force of combat engineers, no organized logistics command, no natural resources to speak of (why they started the war in the first place), no effective anti-submarine capability, and a totally flawed, extremely racially based assessment of how the US and Britain would react. They thought we would cave in and surrender. Hence they were not prepared in any way for a war lasting longer than a year.

In short, they didn't have a chance to win.

Did you even read my post?

The Japanese had no way to produce any of those new designs in numbers, or at a quality level that would allow them to be effective in combat. Their industry was already almost totally destroyed at the time the Shinden made it's first flight.

P-80s and other more advanced US aircraft were on their way to the Pacific at the time of the atom bomb attacks.

They had no chance, none, to even hope for an armistice at that point.

With the war in Europe over, the entire might of the Allies was being prepared to rain down on Japan.

Those prototype aircraft would help Japan about as much as did the paper napkin designs that Germany was fooling with.

Stop getting your history from YouTube, and do some serious reading.

It's far more interesting as well.

Xilon_x 07-17-2010 01:58 PM

yes yes EIaurens American power is very superior but japanese have a shanche but not use in good mode. the story is story but the fantasy is fantasy.

You are the winner but i think if japanese use the misteriuous bombs in north America (Canada) whit chemical gas japanese winn.
