I intend to get a response from someone who has developed IL2 but would like anyone who is interested to join my aggravation. My grandfather was in the RAF and was a proud person with a DFC. His name and colleagues did not fight to see a Russian company develop a game which is unrealistic to what happened in the most decisive aerial combat in history........

BLAH BLAH BLAH

SORT IT OUT PLEASE

Get a grip! It's a console game!

Actually the Spitfire in question should be renamed the Mk.V.B. as this is what it really is.

Also, why is the MC-202 missing the two underwing 20mm. cannon pods??

Only a few flew without them.

As the MC-204 is indentical in appearance, but has improved performance, they've missed an oportunity to add in another interesting fighter.

Its a game not a history lesson. Seriously threads like this are worse than Ferrari "enthusiasts" who bore the arse of you with unwanted facts about the cars and complain about even the slightest discrepancy. And they are ALWAYS people who have never even been in one let alone drive or own one. The fact of the matter is that its a game BASED ON real life events, and not a practical historical lesson.

While I'm at it, why isn't the Defiant and Gloster Gladiator in the game.

I would have also like to at least seen the parked Brewster B-239 Buffaloes of 97 Squadron (AVG), which were grounded at the insistance of the AVG's commander American Group Captain Churchill, which were based at Canterbury from May 1940 onwards.

A letter to Sir Hugh Dowding, chief of fighter command, recommended, "On no account should the Brewster Buffalo be used in combat without severe modifications."

97 Squadron few in the BoB with a mixture of Gloster Gladiators and 8 gun Hurricane Mk.II-B (the Nk.II-A was 12 gunned).

Historically, the Hurricane, Spitfire and Defiant were the principle front line fighters in the BoB with the Spitfires being outnumbered by the other two fighter types at the start of the BoB.

Cheers to your Gramps but dude it's just a freaking game. I can hear Churchill now, "We will fight them in the air, on the land, on the Xbox360..."

Glad you said the 360 and not the PS3 (profanity)

For someone so wound up in historical accuracy, this statement is an ENORMOUS over simplification.

Wait what? Is that a whole new game or is that BoP on PC?
