Why am I so bad at online multiplayer?

I don't really want to play on Arcade - I'd rather play on Realistic or Simulator but since there are rarely any games at all when I play I'll take what I can get. I am on PSN by the way.

I turn it down 6 notches for the Spitfire MkII, but listen to MorgothNL - by all accounts he's rather good. Oh, and try and stay off the rudder And if I'm dogfighting in simulator I will switch controls to aviator as well (press square on the options page) - this lets you look around without pressing R3, which is essential IMO. You can't land or use a bomber turret for sh*t with this scheme however.

Also, if you want some simulator practise, send me a friends invite. I'm on every night - but put IL2 in the message or something, cos I tend to reject random invites I'm not a big fan of realistic as much because it's just an annoying permutation of arcade (i.e. follow the arrow) with a higher tendancy to stall (because you have no manual flaps).

But I'm more than happy to do some 1v1 training if there's no other sim players kicking around...
