ah well, to each his own

yes but I am having a problem with the planes not being realistic... you see if the p51 was modeled correctly I could boom and zoom all day with it. But since it is a slow tank, I find myself taking the spit or hurricane, and end up fighting the stalling more then my enemies, which is funny because I am a 1946 veteran and have been playing flight sims for over 20 years, yet I struggle for control of the planes often...I would prefer to fly the german planes, as they are my favorite, but since no cockpits yet I dont bother....also I hear they nerfed their performance too so whatever....everyones gonna be lying the i16s soon lol

Also, since I dont have the benefits of track ir and all the other computer goodies I find myself going what is the point of trying to play on sim when it cannot compete with the computers sim mode...guess im a little snobby that way.

But like I said, I have just as much fun in any of the modes, but I will say its definantly more satisfying to shoot somebody down in realistic mode and simulation mode than arcade mode.

I would love to play realistic more, but there just aren't the games/people willing to play. It's hard enough at times to find a game on arcade difficulty

But arcade is soon to going to be dominated by the I-153. I don't know if that plane is hugely unstable or what in realistic, but in arcade it is a joke. The only way to counter it is to fly far away and turn around - which is very, very boring IMO.

jeeze, playing flight sims for 20yrs, and you play arcade because you can dominate? give the noobs a break, its no fun getting your ass whipped from the old pros looking for easy kills.

I get my ass spanked on arcade (flying a 109) and that lead sight actually messes me up big time. Flying realistic and I do much better but I can only find arcade matches on dogfight (which is my least favorite). I've only been able to find one strike match which I enjoyed immensely. Man, I just wish I didn't have drill this weekend so I can try some more matches.

I'm having a blast in realistic. I would love to fly in sim but I can't find anyone. I just fly around looking for a target (in the sky & on the map). Maybe I need a bigger TV (or younger eyes).

i play what the game allows me to play. After i search for a realistic match for sixteen hours....i usually settle on whats available. Arcade.

How about create a realistic or sim game then?
