Is realistic the new black?

[winny]

Cool, good thread with lots of good points.

I'm not Migervin or Tagem, sadly. And I guess that if I was I wouldn't need Realistic mode. As a very average simulator pilot realstic's the closest I can get to 'real' WWII air combat. I'm handicapping myself by not using a control pad (can't check six properly in sim with my stick) but to me playing with a gamepad is even more intrusive than the BIG RED STALL

All this only applies to online btw, I really like playing sim offline.

I'd love to learn some proper techniques and tactics but I don't really get time to learn from my mistakes as they usually happen at about 50ft and by the time I've thought 'fucked up there' I'm already a very compact burning heap of scrap metal (or wood for you hurri fans)
