Simulated soldiers in front of a background that is made to be a recreation of historical, real scenarios are not cartoon characters.
I'm all for infantrie in flight sims; not because they are fun to slaughter but 'cause it creates more realism.
Finding it funny to kill little pixel men might be fun; but I cannot laugh about it hence I know that it did happen in reality and I cannot stop feeling sorry for the real poor b@stards that were shot up and died on the fields; bleeding to death.
