Last of a dying breed...
« on: November 13, 2011, 04:20:40 AM »
Since I started playing about 4 months ago, I've only flown American planes with exception to the jet planes and only been with the Bish in the MA. If I fly an allied plane, i.e Spit 9, it has to have the USA insignia.  My squaddies say that I'm missing out on planes that may better suit my style. My rebuttal is, "who won the war again?". I know there are tons of benefits from flying the axis planes, u can find out the strengths and weaknesses firsthand.

Is there any others like me? I truly doubt it.

*sigh* who won the war?

Millions of innocents murdered by all sides in their "richeous" intents and means.

Thousands upon thousands of merchant mariners who met their end at the end of the others guns and torpedos?

Countless unknown massacres and hate driven acts of revenge.

Shattered economies, destroyed heritages, decimated cultures.

A generation of emotionally scarred and depraved people.

How could of anyone won? Everybody lost; its just a manner and question of how much they lost.

If your flying because of some illusion of a countries agenda, that might be fun, yes; but we are (mostly) men here and we fly what we think looks the coolest and sexiest beast we can get our hands on. We arn't here in memorial and continuance of the greivances of war, nor to remember specific people lost in it. We are here to fly planes and you won't get the most out of your experience here unless you remember that!

Some like the 190, some like the mustang, others like the Spitfire; but who knows? It may be a genetic thing? Whos to say?

Who cares what you fly or why you like to fly it?  As long as you enjoy what you fly, that's all that matters.

I don't think that just because a certain set of planes were on the winning side you should only fly that set. But you pay your money and I don't care what you fly.
Ive flown every plane in this game and each has their own reason and can be fun. Yes you should get out and try the others, but keep in mind this isn't AvA arena either everyones is fighting with everything.
So I would think you'd be the only one who limits yourself to just allied planes or any set to be exact. I love the Brew, but it I'm goin to chase bombers Ill up a 152 ora K4, then turn around and up a A6m3 to fight of a cv.
Diversity is your firend, and maybe just maybe cut back on the drama just a bit. Its a game not a reality show.....

the op used misleading words in the title of his post...very far removed from "a dying breed" in actuality. and the whole "who won the war" bit...puhleeez.  :rolleyes:

so you have picked a set of toys to play with and you choose not to broaden your experiences, some do, some don't...everyone has their favorites. it's no big deal and definitely not worthy of any forum drama.

i started playing the spit9 , later the spit8 and finally i broaden my experience with the pony.  am I missing on any part of the game?  I dont think so.  as the only part of the game I wish to participate is the fun part.  I dont really care if the fun part is with the pony or the 109, as long as I have fun, well there it is.

If you want to fly for the side with the largest contribution to winning the war, you ought to be flying Soviet aircraft.
