I think the accuracy rating may have something to do with it too. Maybe the devs are just sitting there watching people play, and then adjusting their rank.

I'm pretty sure its down to accuracy... I'm second on the Team Battle board (or was last time i checked) and I have far less kills, and less matches, then the people below me. I do have a higher accuracy though (Don't know how, because I can't hit the broadside of a barn!)

All u guys playing arcade and realistic should really come up to sim; I'm pretty sure there are some great pilots "hiding" in there somewhere (jk ).

I kno sim looks like a b*** when trying to look around having to find targets, but trust me it aint that hard, when u get use to using the map alot and can fly ur plane while looking elswhere, its much more fun (imo) and brings the game to a whole new level in terms of control and strategy (especially stratwise: no way to hide with the target view in realistic). You'll get shot down alot at first but pretty much every guy im playin against in sim are very supportive and will provide different tips and advices so you get the hang of it faster.

Any of u guys want to add me i'll be glad to give you "practice runs" - not like im as good as edal by any stretch of the imagination - but i think i can give any sim newcomer some helpfull advices and pratice different manoeuvers.
psn: philabong2

cheers

I would "move up" to realistic and sim if I had a stick but im stuck with the 360 controller and the subtle movements required for competent flying just are not possible for me.

However I am seriously considering the new PC game version (WoP) since I already have everything I require for it. So expect to see me at some point come screaming out the clouds, pounding some lead in to the opposition.

I'm an Arcade type who's currently practising with Sim mode..

There are quite a few very good pilots who play arcade, dkwookie is probably one of the best I've seen (It's great when we fly together)

I'll be around on PSN and will gladly join anyones sim games.. Even if I'm still struggling to actually see the other aircraft..



PSN ID winny1973

I use a controller and used to think the same, only going realistic. But if you stick with it it will become more natural. Looking around by pressing the right analogue is a pain as it's too easy to slam the rudder sideways or cut throttle by mistake, but is essential to do if you don't want to get cut down in Sim.

I look vertically up and over the canopy most of the time to try and keep a view on people which is not the best thing but using a controller it means I don't cut the throttle or unintentionally slam the rudder left or right whilst looking around.
