Default Am I Biased with planes?

I was discussing with Pubestein13, about whether or not I was biased about Soviet aircraft, and I wanted to get all your opinions. When I talk about Soviet planes, do you all think I give your good information? Something for you all to think about, and try when flying the Soviet planes in BoP, or do I shove my information down your throats, and disagree with anyone who says other wise?

Incase some don't know, (Pubestein13) here is a definition of Bias I got from the dictionary.

bias |ˈbīəs|
noun
1 prejudice in favor of or against one thing, person, or group compared with another, usually in a way considered to be unfair : there was evidence of bias against foreign applicants | the bias toward younger people in recruitment | [in sing. ] a systematic bias in favor of the powerful.
• [in sing. ] a concentration on or interest in one particular area or subject : he worked on a variety of Greek topics, with a discernible bias toward philosophy.
• Statistics a systematic distortion of a statistical result due to a factor not allowed for in its derivation.
2 an edge cut obliquely across the grain of a fabric.
3 in some sports, such as lawn bowling, the irregular shape given to a ball.
• the oblique course that such a shape causes a ball to run.
4 Electronics a steady voltage, magnetic field, or other factor applied to an electronic system or device to cause it to operate over a predetermined range.

I honestly believe the information you give out is helpful and great, but I do believe you have a "SLIGHT" bias towards the Russian planes... So I can't vote unless you add a "kinda bias" option =P

Hey, I voted yes, but is that really a bad thing? We're all biased to some extent. Look at all the posts about fixing the P-51. I think we like what we like, and that's perfectly normal. As for "shoving information down peoples throats" no way man, If you really love something and you see people talking out their arse about it, well, you're gonna speak up, it's human nature. So keep it up, I've found your information to be pretty much spot on, and I for on e enjoy finding out things I didn't know. By the way thanks for answering my question on another thread.

I actually think you're biased, but only by your unwavering love for Soviet aircraft. I've witnessed others try to tell you why they personally feel a different airplane is better and you will leverage your extensive knowledge to try to prove them wrong (or justify your belief that Soviet aircraft are superior).

Frankly, I love that you post here... and the information you share has taught me A LOT. I don't think you should change your ways because I enjoy your passion for these planes (it has also opened my eyes to the strengths of the Soviet designs).

Oh, I didn't vote... I just posted. LOL!

I also think you are biased. But I have no problem with that because so am I about German planes. You are never degrading in any way and always post with respect.

I respect your opinion and tastes. I think its great you have so much love for the soviet planes, because honestly, not many people do.

Your doing a great job at bringing them into the light.

Even though we disagree on some things, I have a lot of respect for you and your opinions.

Yeah, totally agreed,
Actually most people in western or US don't know anything other than spitfire and mustang. So we need to read from different sources to grasp what the truth is

I also biased toward soviet fighters specially Yak-3s and maybe La fighters
