 A whole generation of pilots learned to treasure the Spitfire for its delightful response to aerobatic manoeuvres and its handiness as a dogfighter. Iit is odd that they had continued to esteem these qualities over those of other fighters in spite of the fact that they were of only secondary importance tactically.Thus it is doubly ironic that the Spitfire’s reputation would habitually be established by reference to archaic, non-tactical criteria.

Strange days
D I D (Dear IL-2 Diary )
2014 was a strange year. SOW is going strong and the most common question is "German gunsites are half covered, how do I fix this?" the second is "how come I'm stuck launching from a carrier". One of the more dubious things was the Chinese govt sanctioned SOW series. Like they are trying to do with replacing the Catholic Church with their "People's Catholic Church," they doin the same to SOW series. Despite many violations of international copyright law, the Chinese govt basically "re-released SOW: Manchuria" and SOW: Early War Years Flying Tigers with communist markings instead of the national Chinese markings." And their Cultural revolution campaign where you play a PLAAF pilot with access to entire planesets. Including the MiG-15 or J-2. Whats funny is you can play it with full realism settings on but in game is full arcade. Yeah the uproar was nuts. And the worst was the SOW Korea Times. The Chinese MiG-15 the J-2 , has vastly overmodelled FM and DM, near unlimited ammo, and the 37 mm cannon with .50 cal ROF. It can hover too, and has Macross style cluster homing rockets LOL. Oh and you can see LOMAC 4's missile sets for the loadouts too. Sidewinder anyone? They even have a Mao pilot ROFLMAO. Its funny because the North Korean and Soviet MiG-15s weren't overmodelled, but as soon as you switch to China or put Chinese markings, you get the modded MiG. Their are probably more jokes circulating in the forums about People's version of SOW than they are people in China itself. And the entire community as divided as it is, is singular in supporting Oleg & Co in banishing this version. Even to the point where they have People's check along with check sum for all online servers. Usually servers running people's version is hacked to death in a few hours, a day at the most. On of the best, best meaning interesting mods was the 'sea life mod' aka "FUBAR carrier launch mod". Seamster made this awesome mod that puts sea life in SOW: The Pacific Elite. The dolphins leaping out in front of the carrier bow is frickin awesome. PETA is trying to sue KidWhoDid74 for posting his vidoes of the SBD gunner gunning them down. The Mortal Kombat gore mod doesn't help his case either (M4T, PhantumOpera made it). The thread "I crash because I look back at the dolphins after launching" thread is 890 threads and its the 3rd carried over. But the first wild life mod was "birds" by larrybird33 where if you flew over tree's birds would fly out and get slammed by the jet / propwash. The community this year is mixed. nearly everyone frequents the WW 2 mid servers. The Korean one has some but since someone got the people's MiG undetected into the plane sets, everyone's avoiding that until a patch to catch it. M4T has been the target of hacks, probably because of the several thousand page long threads of People's version of SOW jokes. One of the most anticipated mods is the World War Online, where FPS ground and vehicular action can occur. Can't wait for that. The other stuff of note is the motion picture association of american and recording industry association of america trying to sue 1C on the grounds of 'providing a product that facilitates use of copyright violations.' IE, they were upset of vast popularity of SOW series and thousands of youtube videos people made with "copy righted" music or copyrighted "scenes" like recreation of battles. The most absurd is the 'violation' of making a SOW based machinima video depicting the doolittle raid or pearl harbor attack due to copyright violations to the pearl harbor movie. Ah good times. Still SOW is fun, fun fun!
