Those matches were a blast. When I first joined that room I almost left because I thought 'surely this many people together must be an arcade match' but was thrilled to see such a large group playing sim mode.

I like the idea about one spawn per match. What would be really cool is if you could switch into a teammates cockpit to watch the rest of the match when you died. Kind of like on halo

I think I came into the lobby of a couple of those matches, but left. I am just not ready yet for Sim mode. I want to be, and have done a couple of them, but just can not see, or find the foe. I am not that good at dog fighting either though, but working on it. I have a couple friends that go into private matches with me as target drones to let me practice. But, I have a hard time. I can fly pretty good, and can in many cases stay out of someone elses cross-hairs, but just have a hard time targeting. I like realistic and do pretty well with it, just cant seem to get the kill. My expertise tho is capture the airfield, and strikes. I seem to be much better at pressure landing, and lining up the strike. Kinda a SAC kinda guy, lol.. But, I am still working on the dog fight, because I love it.. I will get better soon I hope, and can be more than a target... lol..

If these guys can put up with me in games I'm sure you'll be fine mate, add a few friends and get playing and you'll pick it up soon enough.

Thanks, and I know you are right. I am not afraid to join in, now matter how much I suck. I just get frustrated in the heat of battle, and want to practice not just to get better, but to also cut down on the frustration in battle. I really enjoy BOP, and will jump in when I want to fumble around, lol... Most the people I have met on live in BOP have been pretty cool people, and a different mindset in many of the other on line games. The people on BOP seem to be much more tolerable, and friendly, and not so much smack talking punk kids.. There are lots of folk that want to help out, and help others get better... I like that.. I am an older guy (49), and not a huge gamer, but enjoy it for the game, not the banter.

That said, only one guy in BOP kind of pissed me off. A punk kid probably. I was teamed up with a couple friends in a CTA game. We have gotten pretty damn good at that, and talk, play teamwork and cover each other. Each of us have our roles, mine being taking the landings since that is my strong suit, as well as striking foe on the ground trying to take the field, while team mates cover me when I am on the ground, and do the more air to air work. Works very well as a team, and we have gotten sort of a rep for being good at that. We had our asses handed to us in one match. Was a good clean fight, and I will bow to a foe that beats me in a clean battle. I like the competetion, and have no problem with loosing a good game. But, this butthead right after the match, sent me a PM stating, and I quote "I bet you thought you were going to win that match. But you failed epically". He was correct, and I lost graciously, and accepted that, but the comment just pissed me off. SO, me and my team went back in, and cleaned his clock in the next battle worse than he took us previously, lol.. My teamates wanted to write him back a bunch of smack, but I told them not to. The BEST revenge for the comment was simply, go back, clean his clock, and walk away.. and that is just what we did, nothing said. We haven't seen that guy on line or in a match since, lol.. We made our point...

Anyway.. It's all fun..

I don't mind being a "target drone" for your SIM practice loool

And it makes one more sim player online

I honestly would HATE no respawns.


I just want to fly and take people down. If I get downed and have to wait I would get so bored. I can't stand Couner-strike, for example, for that very reason. I go in there, someone on the other team is awesome and kills me before I do anything, I wait for the round to end. Constantly waiting. Not fun.
