Some problems with Il-2 Sturmovik Birds of Prey

[H Lecter]

Awesome video! Well, I see your point mate.

On the other hand see it positive, you trade that in for stunning graphics. Sure both would be better, but when I have to choose I take the new version, even if it's slightly dumbed down compared to the realism in the PC original.

Some really really good times can be had in the sim just tring to survive a crash or belly landing. Watching your plane breaking apart and then exiting the plane after you've survived is a pretty good feeling. Here's a crazy example:

that is not possible though , the plane weighs over 2000 pounds , the second it would have touched the ground it would have gripped it and flown apart.

especially if it was inverted

belly landings are not even a skill thing , they are a luck thing

Yes I realize this was an extreme example I posted. I've been playing 5 years and never had anything like that happen LOL. Here is something even better for you....1:20s for the EPIC win

C.B. Sullenberger would disagree with you

Well... there won't be any crash landings in BOP but the dogfighting will of course be great!

And last but not least... for the true fans of realistic crashes:
