On Arcade mode you have much more chances. Your flightmodel is much more easy to control as well as your engine power is much more that AI has. Also you have autoaim on your side and damages of your aircraft doesn't affect your handling or anything else.
Your speed is usually higher that means that AI has difficulties to aim.
On other side AI on arcade mode is the same as on realistic or simulator, and even weaker - he is taken 'arcade' damage - as well as 'realistic'.

Yeah its possible, ive been doing some extensive testing on the damage model and landing the plane in many different way.

I once even landed the spit on that large runway with a hole blown in both wings, a hole in the tail section, bullet holes in the canopy, huge chunks in the elevators, jammed flaps and no propellor.

alot of the time your plane will explode after screaching to halt when doing a belly landing but i would recommend dropping your speed to approx 100-110 Mph - (Note: Mph not Kmph) and bringing the belly of the aircraft to a gentle touchdown, you may lose a wing but youre still alive

I'll try to help Guilty by posting some videos. For those that have not seen it this id the intro video on the demo.

I'll get some gameplay videos up later. I'm just having a hard time on realistic and sim with a controller. Got to buy a stick that will work on 360 now.

any ideas for videos guys?

How about some of the tutorial.

I have to ask, I have seen oil splatter up on the screen in Third person Arcade but I haven't seen oil splatter on the canopy in first person, does this happen?

When you say first person, do you mean cockpit? if so the answer is Yes, if its your own oil it stays there permanantly but if its from a bomber infront of you it splatters on cockpit canopy and then washes away with the wind
