I can't take Il2/FB/ACE/PF back to a retail clerk at a store since I get them all free directly from UBI's Red Storm division.  Maybe I can always use them as skeet.

BTW. Y'all really have a long, long way to go before anyone will ever confuse you with someone who is sarcastic, clever or having any familiarity with the written word.  Your Ha Ha post is the real you at your best, just stick with it, stay at your own level & don't try to overreach, hear

Hello Msalama. Welcome to the board. I see this is your first post. It's a shame that your first post is an attack on someone who has positively contributed to this board and CFS3 Simulation for quite some time.

You attack would have been more credible if you were already a veteran of this board yourself. In that way, we as a group would know who you were, where you were coming from and perhaps have some respect for your opinion.

Unfortunately, because you are a first time poster, your attack suggests that you are the type of person who drifts around message boards looking for trouble, or maybe a regular from the IL-2 boards wading in here to support your comrades; who are looking pretty foolish at the moment, if I may say so.

Everybody is entitled to their opinions, however misguided they may be. This includes you  of course.  So I hope you'll stick around here and post some more, and not just decide to leave the board because you are so angry at how you perceive it to be deteriorating.
That way we'll know you are a genuine board member and not just someone whose cerebellum has become a depository for excrement. 8)

Dear Mr. Bear,

Thank you for your answer. It merely - and unfortunately - proves my first impression of you to be correct.

However, since I really don't have anything else - or anything constructive, at any rate - to say about this matter, I kindly ask the moderators to delete this account of mine immediately.

Yours Truly

If y'all spent less time wrapping yourself in righteous indignation & more time reading the forum info, y'all would know that you can simply delete yourself by pushing the DELETE USER button on your very own User Profile.  

But I guess a commonsense thing like that would deny y'all the opportunity of making the grand exit y'all so desire.  

Mr. BEAR

In the grand scheme of things, other than for business purposes, does it really matter whether CFS3 is "better" than PF? 

In some online games and forums, you constantly hear complaints about "You're in a Thunderbolt, you're cheating if you can outturn my Spit!"  - Of course, it all depends on flight attitudes, etc.  Then, there are the "whiners",  those that "of course" German/British/American/Japanese/Russian aircraft were "better", etc ad nauseam.  SO?  these are GAMES, "simulations" that are tempered by the necessity of playability. '

Maybe a more accurate question is:  Which set of compromises for the sake of playability do you like more - those included in CFS3 or those included in PF?

Well said!

Amusing!

Now Bear,

you're giving that guy an excuse to go about telling his buddies how rude and crude us neanderthal americans are.  anyway, I bought PF with great expectation.  i'm not interested in online play.  i want historical simulation of the pacific war.  i've since uninstalled pf.  the last time i visited pf forums, there's an undercurrent of discontent that oleg has seemingly abandonded them.

oh well, i love cfs2.  though i haven't pulled the trigger yet, i expect i'll be owning cfs3 soon.

cheers!
