I also don't understand why one can't enjoy both, I love to play WoT as much as I like to play CloD/DCS: A-10. They are different types of experiences, quick instant fun of WoT. Deep, challenging and rewarding simming from DCS: A-10/CloD. Open minds people!

Gaijin has done the genre and the IL-2 brand a lot of good already with Birds/Wings of prey and are not given enough credit here for giving people a starting point and an easier difficulty curve. I personaly know 5 people that are now Il-2 1946/CofD addicts that were intoduced to the genre by Birds of Prey on console alone.
The sim elitest snobery shown by a few people in this thread does no help at all to the genre and is the reason some of my friends are maybe even embarresed to say where they started off in fear of being belittled.
Well i'm not scared to say I still enjoy playing Birds of Prey on xbox just as much as I enjoy flying full realism on Il-2 1946 and will enjoy flying CofD and World of Planes when I get round to building a new pc. In fact just the other day I went from full realism on 1946 one minute to blasting about and having fun in Blazing Angels 2 the next, and you can't get much more arcade than that lol.
