Hello everybody!
I have a player named Branko57 in my friend list ( if i recall well the nickname ) that fly only b17, and told me she is a woman.
Since i fly simulator only, i rarely meet her in combat lobby room, but i've had the chance to fly against her by inviting her, most of the time flying 1 vs 1, and hoping she would choose a fighter. I like to play with everybody i meet while flying in il2, no matter what plane they likes. Also, i've proposed her to try learning to fly a fighter, because lot of people does not like figthing against bomber. I do prefer dogfighting with figher also, but, once in a while, practicing shooting big flying target can be usefull. I think killing a unescorted b17 it's pretty easy in this game, just boom and zoom using a 3 cannon plane ( bf109 ) aiming at the engine and game's over!
While playing against me she was almost like a normal player, not sayng any insulting words or messages after the game end, also, she use to say sorry quite often when scoring against me. ( shooting me down )
She used to tell me that some players didn't liked her way of fly and used to call her cheater, but i simply replyed that this is just a game, and carry on playing. It's useless to talk dirty or get mad behind a console game!
Have a nice day!!
