Realistic or Arcade? (or both!)

Subject: Realistic or Arcade? (or both!) Sat Dec 19, 2009 4:25 am

Hi guys, we have to decide about which game format we should play when setting up training , also we must decide who would like to be a flight leader & who wishes to be a wing-man. I suggest we fly in pairs(1 flight leader & his wing-man.) Teams would be made up of multiples of two.
So would you please let me know which position you would prefer & also if you have a favored format .Thanks guys. ps, if you have a mate you wish to be paired with please say so as it will be easier for me to make a list to keep everyone happy.
ALSO,IF YOU THINK ALL THIS IS BOLLOCKS THAT'S COOL TOO!
This is only my suggestion & if anyone wants to put forward any ideas that would be great,this is not about the types of missions we will play & enjoy, just getting us pilots organised as a team, Thank you!

OK, I'll go first,

Sgt 'Madmax' Fury. Game mode, Realistic, position, wingman. Smile

I prefer arcade, wingman or flight leader should be based on skill (just my personal opinion), I guess that makes me a wingman as I am less skilled.

I mainly play this game to have fun, so arcade for me.
Realistic sim etc is more of a pc thing (do that aswell)

I agree totally that the object of any activity is to enjoy,but I personally feel that IL2 has a lot more to offer.
Heros over Europe, Blazing Angels, these games do not have the scope that IL2 does.
I disagree that just because the game is on the Xbox 360 it should differ from PC games.
And anyway I can't shoot down anything on Arcade!!
lol!

thanks for the advice Draakje, I'll give that a go!
I do prefer the realistic setting though & maybe will give the sim a try!! Twisted Evil

I've found realistic is the GO!. More challenging as we are getting better and find you get better kills without the targeting icon cos u tend 2 start shooting too soon and has less impact on ur enemy. Getting up close see'n the silhouette then open fire seems to be the GO!
