Qitters make me laugh.....
 

some folks get real peed when it happens but I don't get wound up about it. Some people quit becuase they feel out of their depth and this is understandable. The problem is when the host quits having invited players but only if he can win!

Please, if you are hosting and inviting then play the full match. If you feel out of your depth, or are new to the game, then switch your mic on and engage in conversation or ask for help, pointers. No need to pull the plug unless there is a serious lag issue or the opponent is being rude, obscene, etc. I would rather spend 20 minutes helping someone than engage in a dogfight in these instances. In my early encounters with the better players, Beaver, Pope, Brickster, etc I always asked them for help to improve my game and they were only too happy to give it.

They just reinforce my decision to only play sim.

Here we go again!
 

More elitist crap!

Get your ass on Sim and see who gets shot down in a ball of flames repeatedly..

Ok, this was a 'Realistic' game and my preferred level is SIM, which I mentioned in far too great detail so I dumbed down the post and focussed on the point I was trying to make. I have had the same happen on Sim ...it's the player not the level in my experience. I enjoy the occasional game of Realistic but what a pity the Dev's didn't include Flaps...:( Generally, in SIM people quit because its just too difficult for them and they rarely host a session which is probably why it happens less. On Xbox we need to forge alliances between players and preffered levels due to the lower number of players so I would not, and never will, consider one level as superior to another. If I did, and ended up in a Realistic match tagged as the 'Elitist SIM player'...........my name is there for a good thrashing and a warm welcome to the Realistic club!.......:grin:

I could not agree more, I myself hate quiter of any kind, because had they stay long enough we could have won. I'm Luftwaffe_Rommel "332nd Fighter Group" is my comment. I'm a real player of the game, if u want to have a match with me sometime i would love to play with or against u. By the way, I hope is not anytime soon, cuz i'm planing to retire for the moment of Il2 and the PS3 altogether as it is affecting my academic performance. Though i'll be back to kill or get killed by other players. Luftwaffe_Rommel, u may call me Rommel, considers himself a descent average fighter in arcade but a terrible pilot in realistic and simulator modes. my friend i look forward to hear from u. by the way u sound like u r really good. Plus i have some questions for u.
Well, that was long but necessary: some Honorable mentions of awesome good fighters i have met

You've just proved my point, Evangelist was referring to the act of quitting, not the mode of game play!
The point being if you're hosting a room,whatever level, please have the manners & grace to let it reach it natural conclusion.
I guess just because you may be "King of the Hill in Sim" I should now be quaking in my pilots boots, afraid not geezer, I have made many good friends playing this game on all levels.
Evangelist beats me all the time when I play him at Sim,I just smile & move on to the next battle.
Don't let this become another Sim better than realistic, better than arcade thread.
That has been played to death over & over again on this forum.

It's my experience. Never had a host quit on me in Sim mode and people rarely quit because they're losing. Conversely, even in the past two weeks of the 5/6 Realistic games I played half the hosts quit and there was only one single game where players weren't quitting because they couldn't get a kill.

Are you playing on XBOX or PS3?
The reason I'm asking is I'm lead to believe there are far more players in the PS3 world than the XBOX
I can only speak from the XBOX side of the equalization & must admit if you are an XBOX gamer you have been unlucky.
I have not had a host quit on a realistic room.
But I have to admit most of the time we seem to know each other as the XBOX world for BOP has been shrinking quickly.:(

This player turns up again in a SIM game hosted by an excellent flyer, Unfortunately his first encounter is with the host who promptly shot him down within minutes of the start....he quit and left his team a man short. I had to laugh even though he was on my team. Next session starts and he jumps in again....(jeez...you gotta be kidding I thought!).....the teams are random but he is in the stronger formation with experienced SIM players....this team wins and....yeah you guessed........ he didn't quit....says it all really!
