Oh yes, I forgot I only just joined the forum so I guess I should be humbled by your superior post count. Yes, forget about what experience or knowledge I have and conduct your interactions with me based on when I joined a software publishing forum. I can only offer my most sincere apologies to the great Sternjaeger II.

When will people stop joining forums and go on about alleged problems of things they don't have an understanding of and:

1) don't make an effort and see if the thing is being discussed already

2) motivate their assertion with factual data/evidence?

your posts are a waste of space, get over it.

And you being her AN HOLE MONTHS is justification for you to be an arsehole. If you were living in my house I'd put you in a dress and make you do my chores, because you sir, are a silly little bitch.

If you actually followed the forum you would probably see that I've been here way longer than that, but once again it's people like you that give strength to "it takes one to know one"

uh and well done for showing us what sort of illiterate (" here a whole month" not "her an hole months", I'm a foreigner and speak a better English than you!) misogynist macho man you are..

Sternjaeger, i understand the repetition gets you annoyed, it annoys me too. On the other hand, if we go about "shouting" at the new-comers for not knowing how the place works they just get a sour taste and no positive experience from their first exchanges in the forum, which leads to a continuation of this trend.

If on the other hand we just tell them "the short answer is X, but please use the forum search as this has been talked about before" they are more likely to do something similar when another new poster appears with the same question, thus reducing the overall levels of repetition and taking over the burden of "teaching" the forum's netiquette from us

No offense meant, after all a lot of times i agree with what you say and you also have useful stuff to share due to your real-life experience with warbirds. I'm just saying that if we "hold their hand" through for a couple of posts they will probably get the meaning of how this place work even easier. Cheers

Blackdog, my friend, thank you, and trust me, I agree with you, I believe in the "let's take em around hand in hand and show em how it works here", and I know I'm a bit caustic and short fused, but it's all in the presentation sometimes. And yes, many things can get lost in translation, but I eventually gave what I reckon was a constructive suggestion to our new friend, which I hope he will try and will prove useful, whilst receiving a hailstorm of insults by newbies who weren't even part of the conversation..

I'm trying hard to be a better person, but sometimes it feels like starting a diet in a cake shop..

no, it's not about post counts, it's about experience as you said, and reading forum rules, or more simply common sense. As for comparing knowledge and experience on the subject you picked the wrong fella, trust me...

If you entered in a pub and said to the landlord "Hey, that's not the way to draft Guinness, I've never done it myself but I'm sure it isn't, cos I've seen it in a movie or something" what do you expect the reaction to be?

Particularly, I find CoD Supermarine Spitfire being a little bit heavy and too much stable in my opinion at about 90 to 110 mph approach and touch, more heavy than it seems to be in some videos of the real one making approachs.

I wonder how much complex and realistic is the FM engine, and about the wind turbulences al low altitude, but I have the feeling that it could be even closer from reality.

Sternjaeger II told you to be better with the controls (joystick have a better feel etc..) and I would agree with that as well. The pilots in airshows are pretty descent I would think! So I don't know about your flight experience (your knowledge seems there though) but it could most likely need some time to get to that airshow level.

Furthermore. The planes in airshows (I m sure) are not loaded with weapons, and probably not with full fuel tanks either to allow for better maneuvering. So the planes in airshows might actually be a lot lighter than it feels in the game because of all this missing wait to meet airshow standards.

I know you can definately feel the difference in Il-2 1946 when you fly an airplane with 100% fuel + ammos, or 25% fuel and no ammo! I don't see why that wouldn't be the case in CloD.

Cheers and have fun on this forum + simulator.

Irrelevant, he was talking about actual real footage about real spitfires in contrast with hollywood footage with spits (like pearl harbor let's say). You really don't have to be so rude to someone you don't know like that.

You know, we are on a forum, and believe it or not... There are REAL people, not pixels programs or computers posting... Show some respect like Blackdog_kt advised you. Hate will not get you anywhere.

The problem with this game is the damage modeling.

I should be able to shoot down at least 4 or 5 planes with the ammo load (which ends way too early for reality) in one sortie. And how come the planes I shoot don't blow up in a big fireball every time?

When watching historical films like Top Gun and Pearl Harbour I get the feeling CoD just isn't able to get things right.

Luthier, please feel free to contact me directly about my feelings and impressions as they will be invaluable to you since I've watched tons of videos and movies and think they are right!

(just teasing. Grow a thick skin, welcome, and carry on...)

LOL exactly!
