Il2 COD Tsunami

Bilge_Rat · 04-01-11, 11:02 AM

the latest Il-2, Cliffs of Dover, and has been released and as expected a flame war has hit SIMHQ forums like a Tsunami.

They have hived off DRM discussion in a separate forum and Tom Cofield has started banning posters for the first time in 2 years.

Having lived through the SH5 insanity last year, I don't envy Tom's job for the next 3 months. I'm glad I am just a spectator this time..

I played IL2 years ago. Seems the arguments over flight characteristics of a pixel plane still goes on.

Someone predicted a helluva flame war, I was going to amble over there later and watch them burn myself. Glad our little section of flightsimming isn't like that...I think Hunter would hold Freisler courts and put Raptor in charge if they did. Then the blood would really flow.

Oh yeah, I remember those in the "Ubizoo". I still have some of the classic threads stored on my computer for amusement and could probably name some of the loudest individuals off the top of my head. ".50 cal is underpowered, it should be as powerful as the 20mm cannon", "Tiger tanks can be destroyed by bouncing .50 cal rounds from the road to their soft bellies", "Spitfire is so overpowered", "P-51 won the war".

Ah. Memories.

There was some combination of at least three of these on every page when I still visited there. "Cows come and cows go, but the bull never leaves..." fits pretty well as far as the Ubizoo goes. (there were some good threads and discussion there, though)
