Amateurs Online

The Legendary Spitfire · #1 12-31-2010, 12:55 PM

I'm new to IL-2 but I'm progressing well through the campaign and don't find it particularly challenging shooting down too many AI. SO I thought I try online and it seems to me that only the elite are playing (even on Arcade which is my preferred difficulty) and I'm getting hammered and bored. If there are any other amateurs out there on PSN please say as I'd like to play with some players of my caliber (particularly on Strike or CTA as I haven't really tried these out).

I think you may find a lot of elite players on Sim and Realistic who would be more then willing to help you if you explaine you new Having Mic is a must at times

There are no elite players on arcade mode. It is not possible.

I'm sorry if I've caused misunderstanding...
I'm an amateur and am trying to find other people who are fairly new to the game and a bit rubbish like me...

I think what you will find is most people on this forum are not amaetures they are saying that they are willing to help you learn.

By shooting me down in flames hundreds of times over?

Sorry for wasting a thread.

You might consider joining a squad to help cover you assets while in the learning process. Just a thought.

if you want to play realistic hook up with me or parallaxvue we would help you with settings and get you up to speed realistic really is better then arcade i have found there is a lot less game quiting and childish name calling in realistic

no they wont flame you continually. what they will do is do "free flights" with you. they will fly around WITH you....maybe play follow the leader to let you get comfortable learning the controls. someone may take you under their wing and mentor you....if you want to learn what they know...ask. they may let you take pot shots at THEM to give you a feel for deflection shooting....may let you try out the different ac to see what you are most comfortable in. then they may dogfight you and go easy not going for the throat. the simple fact of the matter is...we were all there. you are going to get eaten alive and take your lumps for a little while. then you are going to see your kill/death ratio change...then someone new is going to come to the game...and you get to explain it all to them. you dont want to learn with someone who doesnt know how to fly or fight...you want to fly and learn off those that do. only way you are going to get better and good at this.
