It's not just you RedRoach, I kinda feel the same about these stuff.
It's not the first time either, that I feel somehow "disgusted" by the semplicity, the "easiness of speaking" and the totally amateurish way of depicting "tools" created for the sole purpose of killing. It's not a car test drive...
I don't know... I am just disturbed by these kind of vids.

When I studied in Canada (I was 16-17 years old, 12 years ago) I met many guys that came to that country from Russia, the Ukraine and other ex-urss countries. I had a lot of friends , and they really had exactly the same accent: it's a bit like going back in time.... Ahhh....I'm getting old I guess.

Cheers
Rick

Well, we're all somehow dealing with lethal weapons (and I won't say that I'm not interested in that topic, from an engineering and historical standpoint - I'd still consider my home to be defiled if there were actual guns around...), but I expect sane persons to keep it confined to the virtual flightsim world ^-^

He seems like a nice enough kid, dresses well, is courteous and entertaining I'll bet also, he's done his two years of compulsory service somwhere.

And yes, of course - the subject matter is "things designed to kill people".......

Just like Spitfires, 109's, Ju-88's, etc.....

Me personally, I'd feel sort of odd critizing him about what he's doing in on a forum dedicated to a war simulation product.

Good and interesting post for a Friday

In one of his other videos, he riddles a copy of Modern Warfare 2 with bullets from various weapons.

So, you know, he's not all bad.

I love to believe to the bizarre idea that those warplanes were created to shoot down other planes from the air, not as a pure human-killing machines.

That's why I really love the WW1 airbattles: the idea of chivalrous pilots trying to eliminate their adversary from the air, saluting them if they wanted to land after the battle. They wanted to eliminate the plane, not the pilots flying them. Oh.... how naive is that.
As odd as it may seem, I see a difference between the two types.

Infantry machineguns, rifles, bayonets, guns, are different beasts. Vulgar tools made just to kill human beings

(read a joke between the lines guys...)

Cheers
Rick

I don't get this fear and loathing people have for guns. This guy is obviously a collector/aficionado, like many people who do these types of videos, review shows. Would you have the same feeling about someone who collected and reviewed swords? Those too were designed and made purely for the purpose of killing people, but I bet if someone was described as a connoisseur and authority on swords you would be thinking closer to museum curator than disgusting fan of killing. There is no difference, if you perceive one then it's just that, your own perception clouded by your preconceived notions of gun enthusiasts. Now stop whining about other peoples hobbies and get back to shooting down virtual bomber crews 3-10 at the time with your 8 rapid fire killing weapons with wings.
