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?

LISTEN! I'm making a remark to someone making the comparison & I challenge it. Now having to repeat myself to someone that believes 90% of ppl have no care for the work of Maddox & his team is completely pointless.

The name IL-2 Sturmovik was bolted onto this title to sell units. Chuck the Sturmovik namesake onto Blazing Angels 3 & you'd be jumping up & down for sure, but you'd then also be obliged to compare because they both start 'IL-2'

How can you NOT make & challenge comparisons to flight games, that's what 'ppl like me' believe anyway.

Yeah the 90% I pulled out of my ass meant to mean most gamers that arent into PC sims, and never said 'ppl'. Looks like it's a bit of a touchy subject so i'll step back. IL2 wasnt even my point. It's that you seemed to be saying they couldnt be compare for whatever reason which IMO is stupid.

Well mate, I don't debate with ppl that 'pull facts & figures out of their ass'. Atleast PantherAttack puts across a point & openly knows what he's talking about.

And true: My point remains. They can't be compared; particularly now you're ass-talking figures tell me that most flightsim gamers don't even know of the pc title I speak of.

I think that's your view & not the view shared by many others!

I'm outta here, it's Sat night u know!

Oh, okay, since I 'know what I'm talking about' I'll talk.

What stealth finger is saying is that almost nobody knows who Oleg Maddox is (relative to the rest of the world) or even cares who he is. You can compare anything to anything. I can compare the pencil that's a few inches away from my keyboard to a bowling ball if I wanted to. Or a palm tree to a pine tree. Maybe television remote to a rock in the desert?

A lot of this conversation consists of generalizations and assumptions, but I guess that doesn't necessarily matter. All stealth finger is saying is that you can compare BoP to IL-2 1946.
