They're not in love with flying the 109, they're in love with being Hartman. And they've been unable to recreate the Luftwaffe and click their heels in a flight sim. They're hoping they'll have more luck (and more hero worship) in a game where they think the virtual Stormtroopers will Sieg! as they fly overhead in honourable defence of the father land.
seeker you have no idea do you?
True i like a role play ever since the days when i played D&D as a kid.
the suedo german crap we all talk is in fun mate! I neither like,worship,agree with or follow any nazi/LW pilot or leader.I fly a game, play the role of the german pilot with the silly talk of heel clicking and using their strange terms because its fun.This doesnt mean im a Nazi and im deeply offended you try to make out i worship the Germans from WW2.Im britsh mate,my family lost members to the damn krauts.This doesnt mean i hate them as a race.Im aware there were germans against hitler.Theres good and bad in ALL races.Time to grow up and realise it.
I read about the Nazis, and im fascinated by WW2 but im fascinated by the napoleonic wars,the vietnam conflict and many other great battles.I have always 'enjoyed' PLAYING the villain in a role play for the fun of it.
Id be the black knight,the stormtroopers from starwars, the indian in the Wild west games.Its simple to fathom the reason.
History was one way and in a game id like to change the outcome.Playing a game with all the best equiptment and knowing that you 'should' win cause 'they' did in RL is boring if you ask me.I seek a challenge and i seek the fun of trying to change things.
As for my complaints on the LW guns its not through wanting an advantage over the allied guns, its because i was constantly frustrated by them.This is probably more to do with knowing if i flew and used hispanos things would be easier or just as a part of the overall frustration with different aspects of a game i truelly loved.
AS for this rediculous notion that in someway because i fly LW stuff i crave seigs from troops and want respect etc? are you diddlying mad mate?
you are guilty of the worst of human traits.You are doing what all rascists do which is generalising/stereo typing whole races or types of people.you have a closed mind and i find that pathetic.
I fly LW planes because i like them.I dont like the Nazi party,I dont complain so i can get an advantage,I do NOT long for the golden era of the war although sure it would be fun.I do want to try the Me262 but i dont want to fly it endlessly.I enjoy the game and i dont 'EXPECT' to win every engagement.
BUT just as a warp will piss me off so does any aspect i suspect is wrong or behaving incorrectly.I am perfectly within my rights to question it or suggest things i may enjoy more.AS ARE YOU.
Pongo: i think you may be right about the knits getting bashed for so long driving me away from AH.I hadnt thought of it but i think you hit the nail there.I did all those fantastic BIG missions because i was sick of just dieing everywhere.I shouted at the knits for ages and finally drove them into my missions by annoying them

.
It served to remind me of what id really like to do in AH.Fly in huge formations and fight enemies that are clever and you need to get better to win.in short 'challenge' and a good looking game.
ok ive rambled enough, just get pissed at these .02c morons thinking they know it all.
