This thread has been an eye opener, and makes me very sad.

Hmm.
Why that?
I mean, the "becoming sad" part?

I think he's referring to the obnoxiously fascist stance some here have taken in regards to tolerating or respecting (or lack thereof) the opinion of others.

Personally, I'm not a fan of most of the mods, particularly the packaged "mega-mods", and I've experienced that many mods only change something simply for the sake of changing it, without actually making an improvement of some kind, and almost universally at a cost to game performance and reliability. Some mods are fantastic, like the new MiG-3 visual model and some of the maps, a few of which have been incorporated into recent patches.

Many additions in the game going all the way back to v1.10 come from third-party contributors. The user flyable I-16 Types 18 and 24 were originally conceived as mods, albeit policed to an acceptable standard by Maddox Games. So just because something is a mod doesn't mean that's it's evil.

well you teach me something new...
loved the 24 for a time... resonably fast, a set of rockets and two cannons.... what else could you want?
but you had to take good care flying that sucker... his shortness made him unstable sometimes. and the engine conk-out made me mkuch more aware of how i fly, and made me antcipate manoevers differently.
Yea, yea... the Rata was a good, if difficult, lesson!

people are what people are. Hope for the best. but expect a ****tload of unpleasant surprises.

I'm a fan of the later Mark I-16s. Obscenely simple and antiquated by the time of Barbarossa but could still be very dangerous if handled by an aggressive, competent, and experienced pilot. Especially in the game. The 24 in particular can make a bad day for an Emil or even an F2.

Well too bad then that our 24 is actually a 28, the real aircraft was just an upengined Type 18, nothing more. Would be interesting to get the (mod) Type 29 into the stock game though!
