    We all know why we love this sim. But what is it about IL2 that you hate? What would you have done differant?

    I dont like the overdone effects. When planes get shot up the way they come apart is just overdone. I would tone down the special hollywood effects. Too many peices coming off at once kills my immersion factor. Losing a wing in combat is cool but losing the aileron and the engine and the wing in 5 parts the kitchen sink plus the plumbing, too much!

    a good example is at 27 seconds here

    The continual complaints to Oleg wanting stuff changed.

    complaints about various details in a game that is 6 years old and was designed to be played on much, much less powerful computers than we play on today

    Dislike nothing particularly , except some of the AI behaviour when they do impossible things but hopefully this will evolve with the next sim

    Low level sneak attacks are impossible because the AA gunners live at their guns 24/7. Quite unrealistic, and a serious oversight on Oleg's part.

    All the #$%!ing numbnuts and their sound/FM mods. It divides the Lobby into those that play fair and those that dont.

    ....Discussions about airframe details so exacting by fat, bald dudes who live in their mother's basements and have no life outside of IL2, .... that not even the engineers from the War who designed the craft, could care.

    I guess I dislike some AI battles too. Sometimes I start chasing them and they just gain altitude indefinitely, going around in circles and up and up till I get bored and quit. I also hate the flight times of some of the single player missions. Even with the fastest time compress it still takes a while :P

    I agree with the overdone effects....i think that in real life, the planes didnt lose a wing with just a couple of shots, and then the engine and finally being torn in many pieces easily...unless if the aircraft was on fire...sometimes 2 or 3 shots you can torn them up easily...this is not very real.
