My old computer doesnt have a chance with IL2!  On the other hand, AH is still cranking along at 28-38 fps.

My question is, why is it so ok to discuss IL-2 here and not Warbirds?

I think alot of folks view it like myself...its a box game, I haven't bought a box game for over 2 years (Exception: CFS2) since most in the past were over hyped and didn't deliver...so, with that being said, I'm looking forward to this AI-boxed sim. Its not a MMOG contender at this point.

Come on guys, you are too polite  ;). I expected a lot of harsh language here.

AI in Il-2 is fantastic. Those P-39 do lob those 37mm like crazy.

And now a question for Hristo......

What exactly is your point by posting this here and posting it now given all the emotional debate regarding this subject lately?

There are some serious axes to grind by some it seems.

Not sure when the "game" and "fun" and "fly what you like and fly them all" parts ever got lost on this crowd (including you Hristo).

I believe a few in the WB community knew this game and its developers were a type of 'threat' from the get go...natural human behavior (Especially in the American culture) to put down things that are better than what you have personally.

WWIIOL is a huge threat, now so is IL2. The competition from the most massive online WWII game ever was enough, and now a boxed sim too?! Holy...when they release FalconV, HTC will collapse.

Unless...

Maybe this is more mindless drivel from Bistro, part of a small few who seem to actually WANT AH to not be the best flight sim they can't pull themselves away from.

With any hope of a better sim and they prematurley toejam themselves, ranting about it and putting down AH before they even have a shipped copy. Same with WBSIII, WWIIOL, now IL2. There will certainly be more too.

How hard would it be to have a thread about IL2, (there are several without starting this screaming for attension) point out things you like, and discuss it?

Without a doubt, you are one big snivelling tard Bistro.

Now back to hanging on ever broken English word Oleg posts in the AH forums for you boy.

Hmm, 6 il-2 topcs..This is like were comparing Oranges and apples. Both are fruits, yet they have very different flavours and important vitamines.
I hope that someday we have all vitamines in same package, but il-2 isnt there, neither AH.

wwiionline was promised to have them all, but  didnt.

This is little rude to HTC team also. Awarness has been achieved, lets move to simHQ bb if we want to discuss more. After all these products compete with eachothers, x amount of potential customers will be lost.

Creamo, how well do you speak and write Russian?

Rip,
IL2 is indeed a boxed game and boxed games are mostly crap online and not a threat to the likes of AH and WB.

Until the Ubisoft servers are up and running there is really no way to know what threat, if any, IL2 will offer AH or WB.
I certainly agree with your statement that its not a MMOG contender at this point.

There is a core group that will not play unless the arena has capability to house hundreds no matter how few of those hundreds are in their screen.
Those will be AH and WB forever no matter how good anything else is.

There is another group that will immediately bolt from AH or WB if they can get solid online performance with 10 or more in the screen.

I hope IL2 will work well online with the numbers Maddox projects and if it does I may not do AH.
Not because AH is  not good but because IL2 better meets my  simming criteria.

With the advances in technology it is inevitable that boxed sim online performance will catch up to online only sims and IL2 may be the first wake-up call.

All this my sim/your sim was old as soon as there were two available and will never go away....too bad, we should just play the one that suits us best and wish the others much success.

Agree Sun, choice is always good, especially when its 'off the beaten path'...I for one will have a MMOG online IL2 account if/when it comes, I can think of nothing better than trying to decide if I want to play AH tonight or IL2.  Was hoping that for WW2 Online, but its just not quite there yet for me.

I just want to know why the AcesHigh IL2 is made of Oragami versus all the stuff I've read about this "a-10" of WW2 and was really looking forward to flying it in the Main Arena.  Frankly, I shoot down more Spitfires than tanks in the IL2   :(  I find it amazing that M3s and shooting me down on a regular basis...nevermind the Osties and M-16s that also just tear me apart.  If its got armor, I'm flying a defective model.  

Maybe its just me, but am I the only one finding that our IL2 isnt nearly the "tank of the air" i was expecting?

The different is:

IL-2 is more and more realistically as AH!
In all Points.

More i fiddle with the demo the more i realise its a A2G sim. IL2..should have been a dead give away  ;)
 
 AH and IL2 are in now way comparable. Il2 will never have the plane selection, view system, frequent updates, customer service,flight model, yada yada yada

  Lets punt these threads up in a year or so and see where il2 is then  ;)

 And I dont hate il2. I think its a fun boxed sim and I plan to buy a copy.
