See you, flying mate... I've to work hard.. (FFFUUUU!)

Was serious mate! Great command of English. I could just hear that being spoken over a black and white film as spits and 109's dogfight amongst the clouds

Il2 BoP is great for so many reasons, but one of those I will put highest is what happened last night, as a bunch of good fellows lined up in M.C. 202 and flew Sicilly around.
The attitude, the common interest and the politeness of most of the flyers as we join up for either a fight or a free flight makes it a pleasure to be online gaming this.

I could probably fill a whole page with what I love about this game. The graphics, flight models, sense of time and place are all unsurpassed. Great bunch of freinds flying round Dover radar station and down the cliffs. Laughing my arse off as I get nibbled by short machine gun bursts on return leg.

I remember lots of team battles with winny where neither of us had mics but had almost telepathic team play.

Some fantastic aerial dances with ratman trying to get the micro uper hand and get the kill shot.

Capturing the airfield with 300 tickets left and 302 seconds on the clock.

Best game since Halo. Nearly wrecked my relationship with the Mrs but all worth it!

I second every word Wookie. This winter I was happy I didn't have a woman to stall me. I probably would have bailed...

From the first strikes in arcade trying to escort and defend, to the last attempts to make a beautifull formation of 202's over Sicily. The laughs, the battles, the in-game comments that just swept me of my chair...

Let this be a tribute to the game, the planes and all of you great guys in the skies!

Til Vallhall!

Sorry boys..

The 2v2's with wookie were the most exciting games I've played.

Just being able to fly about in a spifire in cockpit view at dusk with some nice red clouds and red sun reflecting off the instrument panel is really a beutiful thing to see.. even if it's not real.

I'm not a big user of my mic (wife frowns if I get it out) but I've enjoyed listening to you all laughing and moaning and shouting as we all shoot the shit out of each other... It's good to be able to play with a group who love the aircraft as much I do.

Unfortunately in reality, my English is very poor..
To write here, I help me a lot with google translator ... really! I read and reread what I write and I hope to make myself understood..
Meanwhile, fortunately, I learn something!

As you know, i'm not a big user of my mic... just 3 words "oooh, good shot! Aaaargh! Ouuuch! Good match! I bail..."

amen.. however these are the best ways to learn a language!

Hahaha.. Totally agree with you..
If occasionally i'm swept of my chair, realizing only half of the comments... this means that the online company is really very good ..

Flight sims in general have netted me some of my best friends both online and in the real world. Il2 is great for the variation that it offers it's players, not just plain sim or arcade as is usually the case with flight sims but three modes ensuring everyone is catered for. The graphics are certainly some of the best available on the next gen consoles this combined with satisfying playability have made it one of my best purchases on the ps3.
