Pro-Soviet bias - huh?? There seems to be more than a bit of anti-IL-2 bias on these boards.
it's called "Opinion". And FYI, there is A LOT of people (potential customers lost) who think exactly as I do.

2. FM Masturbation;
- Hey RAM, have you even flown an FW-190A or D, or an LA-5FN?
this is the most usual, yet idiotic, kind of answer you get on UBI forums as soon as you point out to a maddox games' FM error.
They don't discuss your sources, they don't try to argue. All they know is to answer: "have you flown one? no? then shuddup".
See, man, do I need to fly a Fw190A or D or a La5FN to know how to read original WW2 performance charts, flight manuals and personal quotes about both?. No, isn't it?
If you do have an answer to my question about FB (how does a Fw190D9 with low-pressure MW50 injection perform BETTER than a latter Fw190D9 with HIGH pressure MW50 injection?. For instance), then do it.
in the meantime you can jerk around with your stupid observations about FM "masturbations" somewhere else. You have your opinion. I have my (well documented) own. I share it. Share yours. But stop messing with everyone who think's otherwise and shares their opinion as they see fit. This is not UBI forums, where you can do that freely.
I don't need to fly a Fw190 to hold my own opinion about Maddox games, so respect it if you want respect in exchange.
thank you.

- Neither have I - which puts us both about even on the bitch meter and allows Oleg to laugh at our opinions.
and what Oleg gets for such a questionable attitude, such questionable sources (which he has -NEVER- shared in public, yet we have to blindly trust them), and such, excuse me ,idiotic support from the cheerful proMaddox biased support groups is that almost 50% of FB was owned by piracy methods.
I don't like piracy, at all. But Il-2 got less than a 20% mark of Piracy, and that was because something (people didn't know Maddox back then). People stops buying Oleg's products because "something".
"something" is Oleg, his "mistery" sources, his mind closeness, and the rabid supporters on UBI forums who draw any critic poster out from there burning down in flames.
But as I said this is not Ubi forums, so please go back there if you want to keep that line of posting. Otherwise, try to talk to others with respect.

However, Howard was right on target when he stated that there is NO WWII sim better - consistently overall - in the areas of FM, DM, Sfx, plane modelling quality, pit quality and the sheer number of a/c that you can fly.
False. Try out Aces High. Damage model and SFX are better on Il2, as does gunnery model in some ways (but not all). But FMs and plane performances are MUCH better in Aces High...in fact, all of them historically backed (and when you ask about the sources backing those performances they don't answer "I can't show them", they share them with you).
Historically-wise AH is consistently better than Il-2 or FB. Immersion-wise, as I already said before, Maddox games reign supreme. But that doesn't mean it's the best WW2 sim...because the planes performances simply aren't those of WW2.
oh, and in aces high I've flown in an area with 75 enemy planes present. And all of them human...in an arena with a total of more than 500 guys flying at the same time. So you might watch that thing about "sheer numbers of aircraft around".
if I understood it wrong and you mean the number of types of aircraft you can fly first-person, then Aces High ranks very high too. I lost the count, but you can fly more than 35 aircraft types of all nationalities, some five tanks and vehicles and even a PT boat.
