Calculating Shooting Deflection

The speeds involved will mean adjusting to the slower speed in realistic but it only takes a couple of games to get used to that.

Anyway I am not arguing about game modes, only saying that if I was a new player who wanted to figure this stuff out I would start in arcade or realistic and use the guide reticle to get used to the angles

There is no deflection guide in realistic, its only in arcade and its always wrong.

I can't be bothered arguing about this whole thing. I will bow to your superior knowledge on this. Sim mode elitism has been a bug bear since I joined here a year ago and life is too short. I only wanted to add another point of view that may have helped the OP

you are talking 2 different game systems too. it may be in one system and not the other. but, pope, are you sure there is no pipper in real?? i could have sworn i saw one last night when i played? i know i saw one recently and i havent been in arcade in ages. i just never use the thing because its not that accurate.

dk the only reason i dont play arcade is in xbox there is too much difference between it and the other 2 modes. its harder for me to adjust. i did get in one several weeks ago and had one hell of a time getting a shot. real and sim have simular flight characteristics. so the transition is easier...for me at least it is.
