Default Hello

I'm new to this forum so I wanted to say hi first.
I really love his game even though I'm definitely not an ace yet (InfiniteStates and Nephilim can confirm lol).
My fav mode is sim but so far I could only play 1on1 matches, hope we can set up a huge battle soon!

Ps. I have a PS3

Welcome to the forums! Good to see you like sim already . Not that much people who play it.

Welcome! Sim mode is a win and battles with multiple planes really are a lot of fun. There's a lot of joy in trying to sneak up on people and trying to figure out if you've been spotted. Much better than mashing the A button in realistic!

Sim mode is the only mode that allows for cat-and-mouse gameplay, and opens up a load more tactical options such as diving into valleys then turning to shake pursuers.

Yeah sim mode is definitely deeper as game experience than the other two (which are enjoyable as well, but sim ftw!).
It's a shame still few people are not playing it. But since we're few, we might arrange every now and then a sim night

Just make sure you're not teaming with me if you want to win lol!!

I've only just bought the game this week too. I completed the training modes last night and unlocked Realistic and sim mode.

I haven't tried Sim mode yet but Realistic was soo much better than Arcade!!

You actually have to use some skill to follow a plane and shoot it down. Plus I found it far more realistic to land on realistic (Prob why they called it that!). I had to fight a little to steady the plane and it made it a lot more satisfying when I landed.

I've played for about three hours so far and I'm loving it! And I haven't even started the missions yet!!

Don't listen to him - he's a valuable asset to have on your wing, as DoraNine and his mate can probably testify too

Hey, thanks for watching my six last night -- like you did last time....

I can't say I enjoyed that first game we played -- with you in the IL-2, I think the score was something like this:

DoraNine 3 kills
Tur-Kish 2 kills
Hrok81 4 kills
Infinite States 5 kills
Infinite States Tail Gunner 12 kills

That guy shooting out the back of your plane was a true marksman. Damn, it was more dangerous being on your six than having you behind me on that one. That's okay though -- next time I see you loading up one of those planes I'm just going to fly a bomber

lol Dora that was a pretty funny game cause it was 2 (Infinite and I) vs 3 (DoraNine, Tur-kish and Wolfheart85), basically I had to deal with one enemy while Infinite had two all the time.
Initially I thought "it's gonna be a tough one", but after seeing in-game log in which "InfiniteStates killed..." was a non-stop , well, glad to have you on my wing Infinite!!
