Well, the modded IL2 is better, of course - well, at least the bunch of guys I pay on this forum will keep telling you. You got the mods, I'll keep the game.
You know, as long as Oleg hoped to release the game officially, he had to ban the mods, of course, but now I have the game and everybody else is enjoying the mods, there's no need for that any longer.
You're happy, I am happy, so what?
