@jasonbirder

i am wonderin how you still can believe that the offline - community is a majority??

I, for my part have played offline for about a year but then it became really boring
to fight the dumb, cheating ai and i shelfed IL2.

I came back to IL2 when i had the opportunity to play online against intelligent opponents.

I can´t believe that so many people are enjoing to fight the AI after a year or so.

The resume fur me is that the majority of players are now online - players and not
the people with a shelfed or garbaged IL2 - Game.

Well I believe it because all game industry statistics show that Offline players make up c90-95% of purchasers, because sometime ago Oleg himself indicated about 95% of his user base was offline players and because only a few months ago a poll on UBI.COM (surely the most online centric of the major IL2 forums) had a substantial majority as either 100% Offline or 90% Offline players.

http://forums.ubi.com/eve/forums/a/t...wpollresults/Y

100 or 90% Offline = 47%

100 or 90% Online = 36%

Given that by definition an internet forum excludes everyone without an internet connection and that Ubi.com has traditionally been more “online-focused” than somewhere like Simhq.com, its safe to assume the real life figures are in actuality far more biased towards Offliners than this poll suggest…

The simple truth is that offline you don't have to cope with player egos, self-centered fools who resort to any means to get what they want - even at the expense of everyone else. Not to mention the AI will fly any type of aircraft regardless of its performance without whining on some board how biased you are and how unfair mission xyz was. Now does that ring a bell?

“Funny”! You abused the rules of the official Il2 game site, that was posted on every game box sold all over the world, and made it into your own little mini world of “this is what I and my buddies think should belong here” thereby scaring away thousands of international buyers and destroying this unique opportunity to widen the interest for this narrow line of simmulations. “Funny”!?
I don’t think so; the world tragedy springs to mind.

Your nick gets more and truer for every post.

No, the”only” thing you f@cked is the UBI site, the Il2 simulation and the international IL2 community.
Sounds bad enough to you? No, I didn’t think so, ramble on.
