Well said that man!!

I'm not going to slate HoE because it's almost a completely different type of game and caters for the more casual flight enthusiast, if this in turn helps newcomers to the genre, who may then appreciate the finer qualities of IL-2, then it is a good thing.

Each to their own.

I took IL2 out on rental and passed.

I took HoE out on rental and I'm buying it.

Sturmovik is the better simulator but HoE is by far the better game. There is a difference. The vast majority of gamers out there are a million miles away from the people who form the main membership of this forum. They haven't somehow convinced themselves that they've flown WWII fighters for real and really don't give a rat's ass whether they can use a joystick or not. What they want is a game that has no pretensions and delivers a fast and fun gaming experience in both single and multi player. Sturmovik could have delivered this AND its niche market simulation offerings. It didn't, it won't, and that's why it's a dead game online already except for a small handful of aviation bores and boosters.

Sturmovik makes too many mistakes and has way too many obvious omissions to ever be more than a very minor cult hit among the aircraft nerd community.

Mock HoE as you like, I bet we see a sequel for it though. That's not a guarantee for a failure like Sturmovik.

dude thats like comparing

one of those Polystyrene crackers that women eat (snakajaps) HOE

to a 10oz steak with mushrooms and onion rings and a side salad and a nice ice cold beer il2 sturmovik

1 is tastless nonfood
the other is full of flavor filling and refreshing

go back to playing mariocart in the sky

Heroes of the Pacific is one of my favorite games of all-time. So I was looking foward to HoE.

But from what I hear, HoE is not even as good as HotP. So that would put HoE in the minor leagues compaired to BoP.

But, I'm glad you found a game that you like. See you when you wake up.

C'mon guys!!!! didnt your parents ever teach you not to feed the trolls!!!!



Back on topic now...

HoP was a superb game at the time, but since then more advanced games have come out, things haves progressed slightly. HoE hasn't jumped on the bandwagon. They have kept it how it once was, but have somehow taken the good things from it and made it worse!!! IL2 is the flying game to play, whether it be arcade or sim you like...IL2 offers it.

ok from what i saw on the trailer HOE wasnt just worse game than HOTP but it has worse graphics

I almost laughed out loud reading that.

I'm fine with the fact that you hate BoP and love HoE. But almost everything you said was a lie. Spoken like a true troll.


HoE is hardly a rival game, in my opinion.

Watch this:

It looks good, but it is lacking elsewhere. You can collide with a plane and just bounce off of them.
