Excellant! Yes please do and prove you are against peoples freedoms:

Despite all that, i have no problem flying on the Axis team. I fly sims to experience a specific part of history that i like, so that i can further understand and study it. I don't feel guilty at all. If anything, i get an even better appreciation of what our grandpas did back then when i see how superior the 109Fs they faced over El Alamein were against their Hurricane Mk.IICs, or how outclassed their PZL24s would have been against an onslaught of 109Es during that April of '41.

There are a few other posters on this board that i know to be Greek and they also mostly fly axis aircraft. Heck, i was flying blue on IL2:1946 mod maps that had me flying over a scaled down depiction of Greece and i still had no apprehensions about it.

That being said, it doesn't mean it's the same for everyone. Some people will get a more emotional response, so understandably it will be harder for them to fly on the "enemy" team.

By the way, i think it was Krupi on these boards who once commented about a scheduled multiplayer event when the time was adjusted to allow US players an easier participation: "Damn Yanks telling me when i can bomb my homeland, what's next?". I hadn't laughed that hard in quite a while

For me the answer is simple. Each one should fly what they are comfortable with, understand there is no shame in that and finally, realize that other players might have a different feeling about it all and not judge them negatively. We're here to learn, appreciate the efforts of people on all sides and have fun while doing it, not relive the hatred that caused that mess in the first place

Its is LOVELY to hear your side from a Greek. Thank you for sharing!

Sincerely,

RF.

So, you're a monster then?
Whatever. Have fun with all your swastikas.

I for myself fly everything. I like the different aircraft types.
Why should i not fly the I-16 if its available.
Lancaster, Wellington, WHIRLWIND great but please made them.

Russian, French, Italian, German, British, American, Japanese aircraft are beautiful, sure i have my favorites, but like most of them.

No need for me to be one sided.

I flew couple of sorties with farber, and he`s absolutely not an ideological one way street.

I am german and i had my thoughts about this topic, but for me it`s just a plane and at least just a simulator that i play and got nothing to do with my attitude of life.



I think that everyone should be aware of the things that happened in history. That's the best way to learn, concerning all mistakes every single nation did in the past.
After all it had to be done, fighting rhe nazi regime in WW 2 to avoid the genocide of Jews and to stop the nazis and their ideology.
I for my part have the distance and the knowledge to maintain the distance to fly a bf-109, because i like the flying in that plane more, than in a spit or hurry. (But i like more the shape of the spit, to be true!)

I was thinking of his sig picture before the mods insisted he change it. Never seen so many swastikas in one place. Please take your insults somewhere else.
