I'm not sure if this was the case in the BoB. It's all quite interesting really. I also think that, for a sim, a veteran would be more concerned about the gameplay, rather than the eye-candy.  Quite an interesting debate.

. You're right, the clip was short and taken from a beta product. I would love him to sit down with the full product and be really impressed with the finished article. Unfortunately, I don't have anything else I can show him at this stage, so what am I to do? Show him something now which he can at least pass comment on? Or wait until the game is finally released, whenever that might be? Given his age, I don't need to spell out the pitfalls of that approach.I don't think his comments are meaningless, notwithstanding they were made in respect of a short clip. Given there are perhaps only 100 surviving RAF BoB veterans still alive, I think his comments, however brief, are priceless. But that's just MHO. PPanPan

 (Note: In all cases treat any tracer coming your way as something you should probably avoid) I underlined the important bits. It's kinda like showing an F1 game to an F1 Driver I suppose.. They're probably thinking... pah, nothing like it! I actually liked the Veterans comment because it showed his mind still worked on a tactical level above anything else. It shows the first thing he thought of when he saw it was about the actual practicallity of it all, not the look, but the what do you do when you are in that situation. He was never gonna say "that's the best graphics I've ever seen", was he? Anyway respect to him for showing that old men still think like young men.

Good observation.
Come to think of it, I've seen this in a few other accounts of Veterans being shown sims. For us simmers it is a game - a game we can push towards being an art. But for them it was (and remains) anything but a game. Practicality deserves a great deal of respect, especially for the causes behind it.

Check out from about 6:25 for some spiffing tactics to use against He111
Unfortunately I can't listen to the comentators voice without thinking of Monty Python! Cheers! Last edited by Skoshi Tiger; 11-09-2010 at 04:21 AM.
