Well, at least SH community has never had the level of elitism we are now enjoying among IL-2 players today. If someone says in Subsim (the main SH community's forum) that he prefers automatic torpedo firing to manual targeting, no one will say such things like "learn to shoot", "this game is supposed to be difficult, if you want it to be easier, go play some sucking arcades games" etc. Mods were supported right from the start, since nobody fears that the game might be "hacked","broken". Well, I guess the reason behind is SH is pretty much an offline game.
It's pretty funny that the most friendly IL-2 forum I can find is the SAS, a mod forum for offliners. Coincidence perhaps?
