I feel dirty

I couldn't believe how significantly different this 'thing' was to COD. It was like flying a cartoon. After only a short time I exited the game, and yes I felt dirty. smile:

I now have a new found calmness over the waiting period for those problems surrounding this magnificent sim. It annoyed me that there over a thousand people flying the other piece of crap, but I think it was because they had coop type missions available, and a crappy arcade option catering for 12 year olds.

The mob that created the other sim have been bleating how good theirs is but it holds nothing next to our sim. Anyway, I will wash myself clean by never again doubting that this 'is' the best sim available, and I just need to be a bit more patient waiting for things to be fully fixed.

A nightmare scenario would be this sim failing and we're left with those other things, they call sims, as the only alternative.

Now deleting that 7G of junk off my PC.

You really have to start a thread about this to comfort yourself? Currently COD bores me to death and DCS World stutters like hell on my pc. My stick makes planes all wobbly in ROF. I fire up Black Shark 1 from time to time but since it has no mission generator I guess I kinda did all in full realism.

So what's left for me? Fire up one of those freemium games? If so, what's wrong with that?

All of those softwares are games. Even DCS which is a monster of a game that takes months to get right (especially the chopper) is just a game. You're not more brilliant if you like it harder or dumber if you like it more straightforward.

If realism is what you are looking for why aren't you all on steelbeasts?

It's like ice cream, if you stuff your face with chocolate you're not less a pig than the guy who goes vanilla.

Anyway I don't really care, I don't know why I post, I must be retarded.

Btw. I tried some dogfights in "simulator" setting in Warthunder yesterday. And despite the fact that the stalls werent as violent as in cliffs it didnt feel all that diffrent... Sound is not as good but that gets compensated by the graphics
Acrace mode on the other hand sucks. Its dominated by people that pla with mouse in 3rd person view (much easier to aim this way) and people that own the biggest bombers and decide the map in a matter of minutes. Hopefully this will be changed once there is some sort of matchmaking option ingame.

Agreed.

There are shortcomings with the other one as there are shortcomings with CoD. The other one is far nicer graphics and more dramatic. Arcade sucks but you don't have to play it just like you don't have to turn on anti epilepsy or easy mode in CoD.

Bottom line is that in beta the other one is far better running software than CoD will be in 6 months from now. So you will have a choice,

Unfinished broken software with some aspects of more realism and larger maps or smooth running better looking graphics with smaller but more varied and more numerous maps, a pretty good simulator mode and an arcade mode you won't and don't need to play like you don't play CoD on easy mode.

People will either play both or line up in there respective corners and hurl insults at each other for choosing the wrong one. That part is happening already, even from people who have not even flown the other one.

Personally I like some things about both and hate some things about both. The first one to erase the most hates wins in my book.

Didn't realise this was your forum. Why so rude?
