It seems he was pointing out things that the general public will draw conclusions with ("same IL-2 name, oh, it must be a new version or something"). My respect for you has reached a new low.

I'm making a guess here of course, but maybe it is you that has little experience with IL-2 BoP. On Sim mode, although not as realistic as IL-2 for PC, it is still more than an arcade "shoot 'em up". I don't see people in sim mode zooming around and shooting things down with a few bursts of fire and not even stalling or anything. Even realistic isn't that bad. And attention to detail... Have you even seen the scenery? It's way better than anything IL-2 1946 had or will have, ever. And there is plenty of immersion in IL-2 for PC, but it's kind of hard to feel like a World War II pilot with the 2d smoke trails the planes leave when damaged. Or the bad explosions. That said of course, graphics aren't everything but they still play an important role.


And yes, I have played the original IL-2. I own it and I play it often. It's a great game. Just because it is much much better than BoP doesn't mean BoP is some kind of Blazing Angels arcade game. Even on arcade mode it's better than that.

What on earth are you on?
My question still remains. How is it that the comparison between the 2 can be made? It's obvious to make comparisons between BoP & Blazing Angels or SWON & compare IL-2 to BoB but comparing a game to a SIM just because it shares the same name for sales reasons is baffling when they're 2 completely different beasts.

You've made your 'respect' toward me quite known previously, on a personal level & through my videos & as you would most likely expect, I really am going to lose very little sleep over it. I will always hold my opinion that BoP is lightyears apart from IL-2 & comparisons cannot be made.

Why dont you stop being a 'P.C.' idiot & wake up. I'm not attacking the X360 BoP forum members at a low point. The way these guys have been treated is very frustating where the patch is concerned. I'm merely commenting, as I've always done; to BoP being (or not being) a close resemblance to IL-2 Sturmovik. My opinionated nature means I will air my view, regardless of what it will do to my 'respect' levels of Mr PantherAttack! If I have something to say, I will say it. I won't bend my views for popularity votes & your respect for me means as much to me as last night's dishwater. That said, I have alot of respect for many 'open minded' & interesting users of this forum. I thank my lucky stars that, ppl worrying about 2D smoke trails (that have since been MODDED like everything else in IL-2) don't include.

2D smoke btw? From a fan of a game where wheels don't turn & pilots eject THROUGH canopies or fly planes with wrong or even NO cockpits.
