The Hall of Fame "IL2 Aces= ur worst nightmare"

[Shadowcorp]

if anything the excessive speeds in arcade can make it more difficult than other two modes and when you play a true arcade ace, it quite easily understood just what wookie means.
no aces in arcade lol

lol exactly. when you play realistic, a whole room full of doors open and even more in sim. were use to losing a wing, and still keepin it up, or giving the killer his well deserved kill and bailing. we pay more attention to ammo, stalling, plane types, guns on planes, stability of planes (lo-5pn vs a Messerschmidt), tactics, (not to go headon with spinsir LOL) and even more in sim. i just think the realistic and sim makes you worthy of being called ace as opposed to arcade.

I see that few of u fine gentlemen are discussing wheter or not there are arcade aces n that wheter or not those peoples names should be included in this Hall of Fame.

personally I think there are aces in arcade. It takes some skill like dwookie said to play arcade n not get kill. arcade is just like a ball room where the best dancers score thier kills with fasinating spins n moves that leave u saying "what the hell...but... how did he get on my six just like that".

Now some of u say "well yeah but still realistic n simulator are just better". Let me tell u that I have seen awesome realistic players turn into crapy players when they play arcade. Sure they might be awesome in realistic but some just with due respects do poorly on arcade. When I ask them what happen they say something very typical, "well arcade is just for rookies I only fly realistic n higher". The truth is that they are not good players in arcade and they think of arcade aces as inferior just because they dont know how to valley dance their plane in arcade mode. Therefore shouldn't these players also be worth mentioned I mean they hold skills after all. U might be the deadliest player on simulator or realistic. but they own arcade as oppose to u, firmly u might just be another flying target for them. "Not dwookie of course this guy is dam awesome in all three modes." My respects for this player.

Finally we should all recognize these players mention in this hall for their skill no matter what mode they fly in. They are aces of IL2 nevertheless. lets not argue about who should be the real aces here cuz we all know they live n died long ago during n after WWII. They were the true aces of the sky us were just a bunch players who had wish to fly along side with them during the war, learn from their corage n skills behind the stick. Amen!

I apologize for saying what i did say then. i tested this out in arcade and played for shit just like you said, and saw some amazing flying at it. my apologies for suggesting arcade has no aces.

I nominate Bucketmanroc as a nightmare for anyone who wants to actually play a game instead of just sitting in the lobby chatting. He is the most patient host ever, he can talk for hours while trying to get one more person into the lobby to make the sides fair and then when the sides are finally equal in numbers he always seems to get called away from his xbox to unclog the toilet.

We always wait for him to return though because he is the nicest guy on xbox live and he makes the game much more fun to play (even when he is shooting at you while your on the same team).

Ever noticed how you can fly with someone as a wingman and do exceptionally well together, and with anyone else you dont fare so good?

For the wingman role i;d have to nominate pope!! Back before my HD died and i lost everything i would enjoy flying online.

The communication between pope and a wingman is spot on, he'll communicate well and you'll have his six or he'll have yours. Many a game we've come out on top flying the Hurricane, because we worked well together and communicated. A good lone wolf to.

I think Winny was best wingman I flew with. We didn't even use headsets but knew which manouvers to pull off to get one or the other to take out the guys on our 6. In those days we were nigh on unbeatable in arcade mode

I think you're bang on with this Foz. I think communication has a lot to do with it especially in team games. Not being able to communicate means you're left to a degree 'on your own' to make the right calls- do I chase x pilot or is someone else already on the case. Whilst you're looking to find this out you can bet that you're becoming a target. Good communication coupled with good team-mates mean ultimately a successful mission.

Ahh.. 2v2 arcade barnstormers.. Brilliant fun. I miss not being able to do a big corkscrewy climb and watch you scythe through the guy on my six as I pulled over the top and latched onto the guy on your six, some epic dogfighting went on!
