Your credibility just went into the minus column.

There is no part of ArmA II that can be called a flight sim. The "FM" is totally canned, there are no structural limits of any kind, no cockpit instrumentation, no real damage model, and AI that make IL2 AI look like Albert Einstein. Last night I watched one of my squad mates in our regular ArmA II OA session doing aerobatics in a C-130. (He is a real pilot).

Hilarious.

Immelmans, Cuban Eights, outside loops, hammer head stalls, tail slides, prolonged inverted flight etc... A real C-130 would have torn it's wings off.

The only thing worse than ArmA II's aircraft is it's protrayal of armor.

ArmA II is an infantry tactics simulator, nothing more, nothing less.

It's a great game, but it's no flight sim.
