Not a problem. You raised some valid points, and this game does have a decent sized sim crowd, so Im sure they'd want to know how things affect them specifically.

Also, the B-17 is fun, and will be even more fun after it gets toughened up in the next patch ^^

Couldn't imagine trying to unlock it in sim mode. Good luck with that, man.

I'm going to agree with MorgothNL here. Arcade is probably lots of fun for some, but it's not a difficulty setting at which you need a guide . I'd like this guide to be based on realistic/sim experience. I still like most of your description though .
Begs the question if the other contributors play Arcade or not . I know Soviet Ace doesn't, not sure about mattd though.

True. Still a nice little overview of the different planes though. The basic strategies for them stay about the same throughout the different modes.

I'll tell you what though, from what little Ive dabbled in realistic and sim, it definately gives you a greater appreciation for how skilled those pilots had to be to do their jobs.

Nope, realistic and sim all the way.

And about the P-47, I don't know where this tactic came from, but I've been taken down at least twice by someone firing air to ground missiles at me from their P-47. That was surprising to say the least!
