Why are you guys jumping all over his throat? It's a language barrier thing at best and while some of his posts are weird, he also comments in a more straighforward fashion and posts interesting diagrams.
We're on the forum of a Russian developer as members of an international community, but some people seem to expect everyone to have a near perfect command of the English language. The best thing is when some lace their posts with alternating instances of "your" in the place of "you're", or "slang-speak" along the lines of "i should of" instead of "i should have", which makes a non-native speaker like me wonder if they do it on purpose, making mistakes due to being in a hurry or they just weren't that good in spelling to begin with
No offence, but if his posts annoyed me that much or i didn't have anything to respond to him, i'd simply bypass them. Maybe Oleg has to enforce a Russian speaking week from time to time and have us all post here through google translate for his team to point and laugh at, so that we can finally understand that lacking the ability to communicate in a certain language doesn't automatically detract from our right to say our piece or determine the actual validity of our opinion. Not funny when it happens to us i guess
By the way i can understand what he means just fine. He's talking about tube launched signal or illumination flares, the use of which was both historical and well documented. I don't know if the tube in the Spitfire cut-away diagram is for this purpose, but you can see a similar device on the screenshots of the SoW Wellington posted a few updates back. How do i manage to do it? I read his posts, then look at those pretty pictures he posts to fill in the blanks, the same ones that seem to annoy people so much
