Is realistic the new black?

Also, I am inviting the aces to help me show the rookies the art of dogfighting.

That's nice of you Dr. Laplace Are you on XBL or PSN?

As of "hugging the ground", check out this FW 190 flying at point zero

Awesome stuff. There's a part in this

Dogfight

tv show that recalls a chase feet off the ground with a FW-190. It's one of the things that BoP lacks, just like the Gran Turismo series, a decent sense of speed.

I hope they can improve that aspect of the engine in the sequel.

absolutly 100% bo'selecta post. you have got to love that P47, after the spit that is my favourite fighter plane of ww2

Cool, good thread with lots of good points.

I'm not Migervin or Tagem, sadly. And I guess that if I was I wouldn't need Realistic mode. As a very average simulator pilot realstic's the closest I can get to 'real' WWII air combat. I'm handicapping myself by not using a control pad (can't check six properly in sim with my stick) but to me playing with a gamepad is even more intrusive than the BIG RED STALL

All this only applies to online btw, I really like playing sim offline.

I'd love to learn some proper techniques and tactics but I don't really get time to learn from my mistakes as they usually happen at about 50ft and by the time I've thought 'fucked up there' I'm already a very compact burning heap of scrap metal (or wood for you hurri fans)

Fixed it for you, my good Docter of BS

I enjoy realistic enough, fast kills, the lack of a lead reticule shows the difference between those who can shoot and those who can't the aircraft are a damn sight more better balanced than arcade. but i'll never join sim just for the pure defiance of it.
And for those of you who haven't realised the no kill crash thing can be fixed by you simply bailing out of your aircraft

lol, If only that were true. More likely you will get people angry for bailing out (and crashing) before they could "explode" you.

Bailing out is just like killing someone by making them crash. Sometimes you get the kill sometimes not.

You can use the 3rd person view on simulator with "Wings of Prey" That makes things easier for me as I tend to get motion sickness using the "Superman " view
Using cockpit view on sim is great but definitely puts you at a disadvantage against players using HUD.
