To be fair, even the arcade setting on BoP handles a lot more realistically than most of the arcade focused air combat games. I like the balance in arcade mode. Not so arcadey that it feels fake, but not so focused on absolute realism that you sacrfice some of the fun for the people who aren't fans of total simulations.

Ive played flight simulators before, but with BoP, I have neither the time right now with college and a job, to work at mastering sim mode, or the money to invest in a flight stick that is pretty much a requirement for it.

I do acknowledge that sim pilots are definately the hardcore of the hardcore though. Personally, I find that too much simulation becomes kind of tedious and starts to take away some of the fun for me.

But yeah, just be happy that this game has a realism setting for all kinds of players, and enjoy the mode you enjoy the most. Don't get online and whine that people don't play a game the way YOU think it should be played. We all have different tastes. Some want ultra-realism and to really see what is was like for those pilots, and some just want to get on, dogfight, hit ground targets and hang out with friends in arcade mode for a couple hours.
