Oleg, what was your motivation to model the Battle of Britain over a 'forgotten-battle'? Was it due to interest? Or because you didn't model this conflict in Il-2?

Yes, why don't we ask him to spend an afternoon on entertaining you...?

Alternatively you could trust Oleg to answer questions as he sees fit... it's not like he has to answer. As it is I'd be quite interested in Oleg's response too

+1

At least I'm not going off topic and ranting about a forum member

Yes, we'd all be interested in a million things he has to tell us. But it doesn't mean all of us need to ask about everything. Talk about abusing a privilege. Too bad Oleg is so patient with you guys...

Abusing a privilege? You're losing the plot... It's a simple question and a fairly interesting one too. Just because you're not interested doesn't mean others aren't. Oleg is big enough and intelligent enough to be able to answer questions he wants to, there's no abuse of priviledges going on whatsoever unless you think he's being somehow forced into answering specific questions?

We're all super-interested, but some of us realise that we can't just go on and on and on asking about everything. Some of us don't take it as a feather in our hat to get a reply from Oleg and then desperately sit and try to think up questions, relevant or not.

Sure he can decide for himself to reply or not, but he is a polite guy and tries to reply to all that ask him something. Some people totally abuse that privilege because they think they are more "important" or "big" in the forum if they can elicit more replies. "Yes, yes, look at me, I got a reply, woohoo"... Just give the guy a rest instead of posting moronic or irrelevant questions all the time!

At least they're not so self involved that they feel the need to appoint themselves as Oleg's personal online protectors...

If you have an issue take it to the mods, if you really feel the need to do something then ask to become a mod so you can wield the power you so obviously crave.

How is asking Oleg's motivation behind choosing the Battle of Britain in the least bit irrellevant or moronic?

Methinks someone got up on the wrong side of the bed this morning! (actually several people) As a fellow person who freaks out at the slightest perceived insult to the great and illustrious Oleg (makes the symbol of the red star on chest), It kind of looks like your flippin' on the wrong people. Hecke for once had a valid point and managed not to insult Oleg and his team too badly making it, the other guys are just asking about stuff they are curious about. Oleg can choose the questions he wishes to answer, since that's why he's here. Just sayin'.

Edit: sorry Phil, I type slow.....

I just thought it was a question which might interest others. Noone is stopping you from posting any questions related to Oleg and the game on this forum, or in this topic. I concede that it was off-topic, to a large extent, but Oleg doesn't have to answer it.
Either-way, if you felt strongly against it, all you needed to do was PM me to tell me thus.
