Look... I'm here since the first IL2.

I've never flown in an arcade server, that's 2/3 HL was made of at the time.

And the "full difficulty" servers I flew in were the ones without external views.

So I'm part of a little IL2 community, a single rib of the global IL2 community.

So IMO the CloD is not dividing those communities.

A whole generation of pilots learned to treasure the Spitfire for its delightful response to aerobatic manoeuvres and its handiness as a dogfighter. Iit is odd that they had continued to esteem these qualities over those of other fighters in spite of the fact that they were of only secondary importance tactically.Thus it is doubly ironic that the Spitfire’s reputation would habitually be established by reference to archaic, non-tactical criteria.
