Funkster, you've got half of the russian community laughing at you. Trying to make up external (=political) motives to not have to admit your own fault is something a first term psychology student can detect. You're just rejecting you may be doing it wrong.

Better listen to Ammafrion, we writes for a well-known game magazine. He knows how to do it.

DarkWanderer, what was the big deal with the first video, anyway? I missed it

There was nothing, just a cool video. Those Russians are quite short-minded, so after they saw a Su taken down, they got enraged and labeled the video "low-quality" and blamed it for lack of good story and visuals. But that's not something author would worry about.

Erm, I think I would describe it as "satirizing" rather than "worrying". Nice one Funk. :music_walkman:

Darkwanderer, what are you saying? I dont see how I was blaming everything on political factors...

 

To tell you the truth, the reaction to the first video mildly upset me, but amused me more than anything. I thought that seeing as that group of Russians seem to take themselves so seriously, it was a good chance to stir them up some more.

 

What better way to do it, I thought, than to post a video about the Flanker where at the end I say that it is trash.

 

But, I thought, that would be too provocative, not to mention offending all the Western players who are quite fond of the Flanker. So, I thought I could do that to annoy them, then make it out to be just a joke.

 

The whole point of the thing was just to have a bit of fun with what had happened, it was in no way meant to be the least bit serious.....

About you saying that I could not admit I was wrong, yes that was true at first. But afterwards I thought about it, and thought "yeah I can actually see why they are offended".

 

It was just like a video I downloaded from Grizzly's cave that had an SU-33 shooting down all these F15s, and the F15s were being made to look totally incompetent. It kind of offended me watching it, because even though Australia has no F15s, I just assocaite them with protection, given that the US is our main ally in this regard.

 

Anyway, so I admited to myself that I was wrong, but thought it was such a great opportunity to poke fun, that I couldnt let it slip by...

Ok, edited, try now...

Bingo! "Tongue in cheek" is an appropriate expression here.

 

The irony is, and I knew this would happen...The Russian sense of humour is so different, that they will take the whole thing seriously, and think that I actually felt the need to apologise and make amends, where as that itself was poking fun at Russia. So Westerners get it, but the Russians, who it is directed at wont get it...

Lucas, about you post below, ok. I had no idea that I was flying a lesser model....Only the cannon would be relevant though, as I dont use EOS when close in dogfighting, just vertical scan mode (not sure what that is callled in the Flanker) and the MK1 eyeball.

 

I was wondering why it is so much harder to take out an f15 with a flanker than vice-versa..The F15 seems to absorb so much more punishment, but maybe that lack of cannon is why...

Now that's better :P

 

Well, I'm not aware of the reaction itself, but I have to say, your reaction might sound a bit childish for some.

 

Also, online translators aren't something you should trust at (specially when it comes to such a complex language), so it might have helped to spice things up.

 

All in all, your comparsion was totally unfair: the LII Flanker you were flying has no cannon, EOS and other important features for A2A combat, that's why you lost :D

Years ago I shared a room in a Youth Hostel in Dusseldorf with a Russian guy. Once we had a drink of his vodka and my Scotch Whiskey and found out that his grandfather and my grandfather had both been tank drivers in the War, we got on OK and had a good laugh. Russians have an OK sense of humour.

 

Finns on the other hand, what the ???? I've got friends in Finland and I know they find some stuff funny because I've seen them laughing but I just don't get where their heads are at humour-wise.
