I care not though, because I know the devs, and they did an awesome job on the PC, unfortunately they needed a publisher to release this game on console... this publisher is even forcing them to do a dlc BEFORE patching the games faults.... ( don't believe me, read the posts on here... anton stated that any patch will be after the first DLC... ) grrrrr... the patch should come before the DLC... PERIOD....!!! but oh well, its still the best flight sim on console.

Agreed. I do think the controller should be mappable. Oh well though. The setup works well enough for me. I just feel sorry for people like you who are southpaw. That is a huge disadvantage.

The I-153 Chaika, I'm not sure is in Korsun Pocket or Berlin? I got the Po-2 defending that one guy. But Berlin just gave me the Salamander He-126.

Hmmmm... My friend I have no idea then. I think it was within the last 3 campaigns on single missions. My buddy will have beaten them all tomorrow and I think he's writing down which missions unlock what. So I will get back to you when I find out.

huge is an understatement... I can barely keep a rookie ai off my six with the controller... let alone line up an effective deflection shot. its frustrating, but it will be fixed with the flightstick.. ( id rather have a deadzone to deal with, then backwards controls )



if you fly on the 360 add me, id gladly mess around in a private match with a bunch of friends with the controller! i might not be the best pilot, but seriously.... locking into 1 control sceme is shutting the game off from anyone thatis like me... with a controller... the left stick moves... the right stick aims... in fps games... this game.. the left stick "aims" since moving it "aims your nose" now after years of my left thumb aiming.... I can't use it to aim in this game? and have to try and use my right thumb to "aim the nose of my plane" very frustrating... but hey, so far I still love the game... its just not playable outside of arcade mode with the controller for me.
Sim mode is impossible for me with the controller... but mostly thats due to needing to look around to see your targets... and no toggle on looking makes it impossible for me with my wonky heavy handed thumbs.

At OP/TS

I have beaten half of the single mission on Arcade and the other half on realistic, some of them where next to impossible to complete on realistic. But! It seems that i have every plane on your list.

Tip for unlocking extras: Win online matches! I have never lost a ranked dogfight and every 2 wins it gives me something. Till now only extra weapons... But maybe later-on more planes. I am busting my ass at finding that B-17 so if anyone has some tips feel free to PM

It was the second to last mission in Stalingrad. Where you fly the Il-2, and have to bomb certain bunkers or something like that. I blew through it in minutes, and I did it on realistic so I could get to bed earlier as well

I just did the first 5 Single Missions in the battle of Britain, and the only thing I've unlocked were a couple of those (totally lame) encyclopedia articles. I thought I'd get at least 1 plane!

But also I don't really do secondary or optional objectives, so that could be it...

Anyway, here's my real question. What would be better use of my time?
1. Finishing off the campaign (I'm on the Sicily part now)
or..
2. Doing all the Single Missions of Britain and Starlingard first

Which would get me more planes faster?

[Soviet Ace]

Probably Campaign? But Stalingrad only gives you (In Single Mission) I think two planes total, maybe just one? But if you do the second to last Stalingrad Single Mission, you can get the I-153 Chaika (I-16 Biplane of sorts). It's a nimble little plane, and I just had my first online success with it.
