You know when you love CLOD when..
 

You're driving in your car imagining youre in a ju88/blenhiem

You check your rear view mirror when there's bandits behind

You take up swimming lessons just incase...

You flinch when you see dustclouds or smoke

You love clear blue skies

You plan to visit aviation museums with vintage aircraft nearby

You start collecting die cast metallic models

When you start thinking about deflection shooting, instead of boobs.

"your car is slipping to one side, and you search for the trim tab"

"when you see someone about to get hit by car you shout BREAK LEFT"

"when yout buddy asks you too be is wigman in friday night, and you set your pc for COD"

this are not mine, i ve read them somewhere at some time.

yes..and you look every day on this site to see if there are any more patches released so actually the game can be played!!!

You're pretending your car is a Bf-109 and hoping that you can get home before your launcher crashes. :-P

Sorry, had to.

When you start stuttering about everywhere, complaining that the trees' shadows don't look right, the grass is too green and that other people become passive and walk slowly towards home when attacked.

....impulsively buy a Revell Original Heroes Hawker Hurricane MK II while grocery shopping and then pretending it's for my daughter....who is 3 months old. :oops:

When your driving in your car (1972 Datsun 240Z) and you realize your car is more twice as wide as a Spitfire cockpit and you realize just how claustrophobic it must have been in those fighters

When your wife and friends wonder why you always say "roger" and "wilco" every too often.

When you give someone a dressing down but you tell them to "straighten up and fly right"

:):):)

When you start the engine, you shout "Clear prop!"

You pull the E-brake to raise the seat.

You look in vain for the other shoulder harness.

You find yourself accelerating on right turns and slowing down on left turns.

You pull into a fog bank and focus your view onto the dashboard.

You merge on the highway and as you accelerate, you pull back on the steering wheel to try to takeoff.

PS: My grand-uncle flew Il-28s and actually did the last one, totaling his Mercedes (which weren't exactly easy to come by in the USSR).

I have found myself 'leaning to gunsights' as I follow another car at high speed down a major road

And I've tried to look left and right by turning my head slightly while keeping my eyes fixed in the same position...

gents nice thread :)

this is when you know you addicted to IL2

when you wake up 4am in Monday morning just to play 2hours of campaign with your buddies before office time even though time zone is off for you.
when you try to think about your work, you suddenly think of il 2 instead and stay sleepy at work whole day :):):):)

When the wife asks you to quickly go to the shops for some milk and bread.

You shout

2 Section - SCRAMBLE!!!!!!

And race with your keys out the door

**You look around when parking your car in front of your house, worrying about vulchers

** You try to find the slip indicator on your dash while driving down the highway

When you ask the Brits that work in your company what city they are from and you say I will bomb it tonight.

:D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D


Some excellent ones gents, keep them coming!!!!!

~S~

Yes, good thread! I was driving along last week and caught a cessna taking off from a local airfield in my peripheral vision. I automatically reached for the prop pitch. Just as well I realised in time - it was the handbrake!

When your still frequent on this board although the game is running crap on your modern rig...

When you overpass another car in the highway and follow him with your eyes watching for his next move.

when you are still here

When everytime you drive the car you get your missus to sit on your lap.

When you drive home from work-in formation!

those things are not necessarily unrelated.

Ouch! right in my solar plexus!

win :grin:

You find the note saying your wife has left you....two weeks after she wrote it!

The dishes from the past evenings meals are still littering your desktop and you have run out of space for the Pizza home delivery thats just arrived.

The dog has stopped barking and you discover its died from malnutrition when you kicked it in a fit of anger after Alambash vulched you.

I have overtaken lorries on the motorway and as i overtake look quickly back, I get visions of shooting past bombers

When you are about to pull into your driveway at home or work and you're checking your six to make sure _RAAF_Sniper isn't lurking waiting to pounce on you.

When you give a '2 weeks' time period for all task that need to be done

When you start seriously considering the installation of a fixed-line Vickers gun on your sidecar....

When driving your car you rarely hit the brakes because you are thinking of E management.

* You pull into oncoming traffic so you can make a head-on pass

* You then climb into the back seat to fire a few rounds from ur tail gun.

* You tell your passangers to call out enemy fighters.

* When pushing your trolley in the supermarket you notice someone walking up behind you with their trolley...... so you execute a scissors manuver

* When your sitting on the toilet, you take the time to precision aim your bombs... to minimalise civilian casualties

... ... when you ask your wife for friday updates to know what is going on in the family.

When you use those 100/200/300m motorway markers against the cars in front to try to assess what a 109 would REALLY have looked like at that range.

Go on, you know you do. Or you will now!

@Aer09 - hope you're not driving while browsing on your iphone!

When driving with friends you imagine the front passenger as the navigator / bomb aimer, and the lads in the back as rear gunner / wireless operator ect

When you make your mates walk in a finger four formation :P

Spend hours trying to capture that perfect screen shot lol.

Come on we've all done it

Your wife sends you out for a leg of pork and some apple sauce.

On the way to purchase the items, you're thinking about how to make your fuel last longest on a long standing patrol on ATAG's 'Bomber Night'.

Hmmm, coarse pitch, zero boost, lean mixture.

It's only when you get out of the car once you've arrived at the petrol station that you realise you don't need fuel, you need pork.

And apple sauce.

True story. Just got back.:oops:

:):):)

When you hear someone say COD (meaning Call of Duty), and you automatically assume they're talking about Cliffs of Dover.
