After talking to a few friends with this game, they never even knew there was a realistic or sim mode because like a lot of gamers they never bothered with the tutorials and went straight into the campaign.
Added to that I've noticed in MP on realistic mode that most people don't know to lower elevator sensitivity and constantly spin and crash, then quit.
I have to admit that after my first couple of games online I did not like this game. I've played flight sims since the early 1980's and was not to bad on IL2 online either but after shooting someone loads of times with an aircraft armed with cannon and not getting kills I was like 'what the hell is wrong with this game'. You can't use boom and zoom tactics because you can't destroy an aircraft like that. I've played a game of dogfight where there was a train of 6 of us all following and shooting at the person in front for ages and no one got a credited kill, most people quit.
I do fear for the long term life of this game online. There are hardly any servers now, in a couple of week there will probably only be a few diehards that still play this.
