I do, however, think that their combined recollection of different episodes is enough to give a pretty damn good impression IMO Although if, for instance, you asked the pilot about tracer; would he be able to distinguish between the different types he may have used? I'm not sure.
I think a veterans perspective is the best evidence to give. At the end of the day, if you can fly a sortie in SoW and come about with nearly exactly the same images as the pilots of 1940, then that is (for me) a near perfect sim  |
The only thing the BoB veteran needs to remember is that if you flew up behind a gaggle of heinkels like that you'd get killed. Not what day it was, or what he was wearing or what coulor the tracer was.. This thread is confusing memories and experience. Is anyone here arguing against what the guy said? I'm pretty sure you'd only need to see a friend killed once for it to register.. and for you not to forget it.
