Re: Why can never play as the Nazis?
There are a lot of talented sim-pilots out there. It's fun when people use proper combat tactics instead of dogpiling around 1200 meters - but when they do it's pretty easy to rack up a high kill ratio by boom 'n zooming them.chewy_barber wrote:Yeah but online flight sims are brutal.

Re: Why can never play as the Nazis?
Do you mean specifically as the Nazis in a historical WW2 setting? - I think mainly because they lost and it's no fun playing for a side that you know is going to lose. Everyone would say it's because it's distasteful, but I think they're rewriting history as much as anybody.
If you mean playing on the side of evil-doers in general, when it's fiction there are quite a few options. Play as the Sith; they get all the cool force powers!

Meh, you just have to play the right scenarios. "Fall of France", "Barbarossa", "Operation Retribution", "North Africa, Pt.I."PsychoSerenity wrote:Do you mean specifically as the Nazis in a historical WW2 setting? - I think mainly because they lost and it's no fun playing for a side that you know is going to lose.

Re: Why can never play as the Nazis?
I guess no one here has ever heard of the game Company of Heroes.
You can play as Germans all you want.
The sequel, Company of Heroes 2, is coming out soon.
It's a RTS. It's a great game.

Ooooh. Low blow there Jim C.
Unfortunately though, the Black and Tans, while good at turning up drunk, murdering ad raping civilians and burning down houses, villages, and towns, they were pretty shit when faced with actually armed and determined opposition.
FUCKERPUNKERSHIT!

Sometimes I forget Ireland was neutral in WW2.

That would make the game play more challenging, then...Cormac wrote:JimC wrote:Is there a series where you can play Black and Tans?

But, as I imagine you know, I was responding to Ani's OP in a way that attempted to, shall we say, turn the tables...
