Did you not forget that we were fighting a two front war and that we supplied EVERY single one of our allies in some form from pretty much the VERY beginning, just because we didn't have boots on the ground in Europe til late, doesn't mean we weren't there...

I agree with what that one guy said about the name, "IL2 Sturmovik", even people that know a lot about WW2 will still look at it and be hesitant to buy it cause of the unique,mysterious title..

Just look at the PC version, only titled "Wings of Prey", they obviously did some market research themselves..

Fuzzy- have atleast some pride, because no matter how much sucking up and apologizing you might do, Europeans and such will STILL not like us.

I wouldn't think of apologizing for 8 years of foreign policy that I didn't vote for. You'd have to be blind to not see why anti-US feelings have been stronger lately. I have plenty to be proud of, just not my country. Patriotism in the face of America's Bush years is called fascism.

Maybe things will turn around. Too bad the reality is that Americans are so stupid they'll vote Obama out after 4 years and elect another bible-beating facist redneck to put the final nail in this country's coffin. Then we can invade Iran and have some real fun.

As for our involvement in Europe - Germany was defeated before we entered. Our entry into that war was simply to prevent the Russians from occupying all of Europe. The technological assets were icing on the cake. The cold war practically started before WWII ended.

As for the name change - maybe MAYBE the spitfire/hurricane would work. At least those planes have cockpits. Using the mustang name given that the roster of American planes is incomplete and the P-51 doesn't even have a cockpit - it wouldn't make sense and would be a shallow attempt to appeal to American gamers (yea - kinda like "whoring" something out). Marketing is great and all, but not when it is done in a way that misrepresents the game.

Man. If you're so upset, you need to get out and do something about it. Wow.

Some would say Japan had something to do with it. And after WW1 most Americans did'nt care what happened in Europe. That is why we were'nt involved earlier.

This thread as for sure went off topic and should not turn into a political or personal argument. thanks

this is that happen when people start debating instead of discussing...

I don't know if you've read the recent polls or watched the recent world news, but the only area in which Obama has the majority of the country in favor of him, is for the troop surge in Afghanistan... lol, I voted for him in the hopes he would be moderate... he isn't, for all Bush's wrongs and as Muse put it, "crimes against the Earth".. he kept us safe from another attack and if it wasn't for corrupt wallstreet/financial institutions ( which there will always be corruption in which man is involved) he would have been seen nowdays as an American hero..

Independents are leaving Obama in droves, and for the record... what exactly did the last administration do so wrong and why is it so important that the world loves us?? They never will!!!!! WE SAVED EUROPE FROM THE NAZIS, REBUILT THEIR COUNTRIES, AND LET THEM LIVE IN PEACE AND THEY HATE US FOR IT!!!!! LOL.

Sorry for going off topic, I'm still waiting for XBox patch, so there's not much to talk about on topic.

like I said before the Americans are trying to make up for being late to last two world wars by being really punctual this time...

People are lazy, hating America.

They should try something challenging, like hating Greenland, or the Galapagos.

hurry up with the patch already!
