Little arrogant, self-proclaimed experts like you should always check who they're measuring with before making comments on stuff they obviously don't know much about, if anything to avoid being humiliated with facts. Unbelievable..

Until this point Faucon hasn't been arrogant or rude at all. Please go see a doctor to get your issues fixed mate or at least re-read what you're writing.

You literally entered the discussion with a kiddo comment "lolz I gotz the 1337 speak raight ay?"
Of course people will misunderstand that pointless gibberish, and they did. Their response however you counter with a ton of insults.

On top of everything you aren't even capable to read since it was mentioned before that Faucon is a real acrobatics pilot so once more you humiliated no one other than yourself.


I've tried to defend you on a number of occasions but this time I must advise you to call an ambulance and get yourself checked out ASAP before derailing this any further.


I REALLY hope this can stop now. I honestly think it's completely boring.
-----------------------------------




That aside I want to mention a few things.

First thing I did when I bought IL2 CloD was trying to go into free flight and select the SU. That was the time when I even visited the forums and made a topic to ask about the SU, where it is and what I'm doing wrong because I can't fly it.
I WANTED THAT PLANE. And it was promised to us by them.

The devs said it'd prove the awesomeness of the FM. I'd even understand if they'd sell it as a DLC. But I want that plane.


For many people shooting is NOT the essence of flight. In fact we all spend 99.9% of the time just flying and NOT pressing the trigger. You don't even have that much ammo OR that many enemies.
But "mastering" flight in a safe "armchair" way is enjoyable. No fuel costs, no degrading planes, no risk of life - it's just perfect and in many ways much better than the real thing.

Now of course some "real" experts will say "no way blablablabla" - I don't care. It's rubbish. You can't expect 7 billion people to fly an airplane. Get over it - just because you fly a real plane you're nothing better than the smart people who actually may prefer not polluting the globe for nonsense. It's a great hobby for some but it can't be one for everyone. And no one is better than someone else just because of a stupid hobby.

What I really think is that the SU and more "civil" planes would still add a lot to the sim AND may increase the sales. I love "stunt" flying. Many others as well. Not necessarily formation flying but really just jerking around etc. It's fun, it's awesome and the more planes you have the more fun it really gets. Especially together and in multiplayer. And that means sales.

I don't believe that we need to take out everything that's not about bullets piercing your victim - much of the sim is just for pleasure and there is NO harm in a SU 26. It can't even fire a bullet so why would the masses be so scared of it?

If you fear that the devs would sacrifice precious time - you're wrong. The SU26 is 99% complete. The model is there, the FM is "there". Maybe it needs adjustment but heck, sell it for 10 bucks and I'll buy it! The game sells for the same now so how can that be a loss?


@tuckie and faucon - I agree, the game is closest regarding the FM and all. I too remember the awesomeness of Flight Unlimited. Damn, I LOVED that game. I wish a bit of it's spirit could be transplanted into CloD for those of us who're not constantly on the hunt but actually hunt for joy in flight.
