Um, How?????


My point is he just gave you two valid points and yet you still asked him "how?". It's like saying:

"There are two reasons why this game sucks- it's not realistic and the graphics are bad."

and then someone says to him:

"How does it suck?"


And this is my personal preference of course, but one question mark is enough.
Notice how I never made any insults, too, in this post and my last.
And what's this about your videos? As I recall I didn't even comment on them, if I did and I don't remember I don't think my post contains some sort of attack. And I really appreciate it, but the Mr. before my name is not necessary.



As do I.

Edit: I do see how my previous post could be seen as offensive to Houndstone Hawk. I apologize, I was merely trying to get a point across which I think I have done so correctly in this post.

LOL, your PC (political correctness) skills are truly amazing. You're beginning to sound like a canvassing politician on the ropes, seeking pc popularity.

I don't see any point in arguing with you anymore, you can't seem to comprehend what I'm trying to say. All you do is make pointless insults when someone disagrees with what you think, even if their point is completely valid.

In the end, none of this really matters. You think what you want and I will think what I want. (obvious exaggeration) But nearly half your posts are about how IL-2 (the original PC version) is so much better than BoP and that BoP is just some sort of arcade game trash. You say you aren't attacking the members here, but I think you are every time you put down BoP, a game which -although obviously not as good as IL-2 1946 realistically- most of us have come to love, patch or not. But that's for everyone else to decide.

Ofcourse I can comprehend what you were referring to but my original question to that still stands:

**My quote**
My question still remains. How is it that the comparison between the 2 can be made? It's obvious to make comparisons between BoP & Blazing Angels or SWON & compare IL-2 to BoB or BoB2 but comparing a game to a SIM just because it shares the same name for sales reasons is baffling when they're 2 completely different beasts.

I don't believe my words are pointless or insulting other than labelling you as a pc idiot which I've always believed you to be.
Read back your last responce & it's more P.C. spill as is the majority of your posts aimed my way. Careful wordage speaking for the masses to win over that coveted popularity spot. It's also convenient forgetting your words re: myself sharing my vids, although like you say; it is totally pointless but to say I'm attacking good folk on this forum because I think their game is a joke is kinda belittling the peeps in question as I'm pretty sure these guys have minds of their own & aren't going to take personal damage over a shiny piece of plastic you 'chuck' into your 360 tray.
If I'm attacking anything (which I didn't directly believe I was, it was a question of comparison correction), then it's that round piece of plastic & not the poor ppl that have been let down by it.

Well, this 'argument' didn't start because of that question, but I agree with your point.

I already said however, you can think what you want. Go ahead and think I'm trying to win the hearts of forum members or whatever but to be honest I don't care. I only try to not be brought down to the level of stupid insults that you were at, although I admit your last post was an improvement. I'm not even speaking to the masses- I'm speaking to you. Don't you get that yet? What would the benefit be, anyways?


And as I said, all that other stuff is for everyone else to decide. If they are offended by your posts (as I was, but no longer am because I don't care anymore) then they agree with me. If they are not, then they don't agree with me. That's that.

Now I need to return to my life outside of the computer.

Edit: Someone else please post and get this thread back on topic.

You don't speak to the masses? Speaking directly to me but in the third person then. Very clever.
Stupid insult. Do you even
know what that is I wonder.

Yep. Enough on the subject. Topic between us closed!

One last comment- good eye, and your point does make sense but that's not my intention. As this is a public forum it's necessary, I think. Topic closed (unless of course you have a closing comment as I always do). Now if you'll all excuse me I'm going to play some IL-2 1946.

well I'd love to also partake a bit of 1946 but gig duty calls, being the singer in punk covers band The Krays.

You answer your own question. They can be compared because they both start IL2-...

90% of people will know nothing about oleg maddox or even care, will see the il2 and whatever impression they have of the name. Regardless of who made what and how that opens them up for comparison. also that theyof the same genre and general style

Why is it people think you can only compare like for like. Anything can be compared to anything else.

so what is the mark? You ask how you can compare IL2-'46 or other pc versions to IL2-Birds of Prey? Is that correct? If so my question is how can you not?
