I like both game modes, but find realistic tougher and more challenging; because of people knowing where i am. In sim the complete realism makes it harder for people to single me out when i'm winning and makes me a little complacent.
Though sim is very enjoyable, i have observed the difference between those who can shoot and those who cannot is most keenly felt here and would not recommend it to any new pilots unless an experienced player gave you shooting practice first.
Both modes are fun but most of my friends play realistic, i have a better time playing with my friends and clan-mates, despite the occasional jackass interruptions (Cough Roshpl Cough).
I have always detected a condescending and superior attitude present in some of the more vocal simulator pilots which isn't justified by their skills or kills.
This said there are more good hearted players than snobby supercilious ones, in both modes to be sure. It's just a matter of finding a good group of players to game with, you'll find good laughs and good times along the way.

As always i speak about the ps3 and it's community

how my views have changed since arcade!
