Ok, this was a 'Realistic' game and my preferred level is SIM, which I mentioned in far too great detail so I dumbed down the post and focussed on the point I was trying to make. I have had the same happen on Sim ...it's the player not the level in my experience. I enjoy the occasional game of Realistic but what a pity the Dev's didn't include Flaps... Generally, in SIM people quit because its just too difficult for them and they rarely host a session which is probably why it happens less. On Xbox we need to forge alliances between players and preffered levels due to the lower number of players so I would not, and never will, consider one level as superior to another. If I did, and ended up in a Realistic match tagged as the 'Elitist SIM player'...........my name is there for a good thrashing and a warm welcome to the Realistic club!.......

You've just proved my point, Evangelist was referring to the act of quitting, not the mode of game play!
The point being if you're hosting a room,whatever level, please have the manners & grace to let it reach it natural conclusion.
I guess just because you may be "King of the Hill in Sim" I should now be quaking in my pilots boots, afraid not geezer, I have made many good friends playing this game on all levels.
Evangelist beats me all the time when I play him at Sim,I just smile & move on to the next battle.
Don't let this become another Sim better than realistic, better than arcade thread.
That has been played to death over & over again on this forum.

It's my experience. Never had a host quit on me in Sim mode and people rarely quit because they're losing. Conversely, even in the past two weeks of the 5/6 Realistic games I played half the hosts quit and there was only one single game where players weren't quitting because they couldn't get a kill.

Are you playing on XBOX or PS3?
The reason I'm asking is I'm lead to believe there are far more players in the PS3 world than the XBOX
I can only speak from the XBOX side of the equalization & must admit if you are an XBOX gamer you have been unlucky.
I have not had a host quit on a realistic room.
But I have to admit most of the time we seem to know each other as the XBOX world for BOP has been shrinking quickly.

In my limited time with the game so far I have witnessed a many players quit for apparently no reason. It's a bit irritating when the host does it as of course the whole game ends but I personally boil it down to poor sportmanship.

I've played nowhere near as much as the majority of you here and quite frankly I suck, but isn't the whole premise of the game to fight until the last kill? Tides turn in battle and given the game itself almost anything can happen. So, I struggle to get kills in sim but I love that mode. What better way to challenge my nerves and skill? It was P-51 who recently introduced me to sim and subsequently this site so I can only say I'm glad he did.

I'm not here to argue about which difficulty setting is better but I will say that I was blown away by the sim mode in comparison to arcade. For arguments sake, I find the aim assist reticule distracting and the sim games far more immersive. Be that as it may I do dabble in all games modes (at least for the time I've played so far)...

Anyway, it's pathetic for players to drop out because they are losing. As I said, I suck but god dammit if I can at least hang around to be the player most often shot down, then it cuts some slack for the seasoned pilots on my team... If anyone needs a distraction, I'm it.

I fear however that I will be forever trying to unlock the online planes as even though I've only been playing over the last 3 or 4 days, most of the sim games I've joined only ever seem to have 3 or 4 players in them. At the moment I have a hard enough time just getting a decent sight on them let alone scoring big. Out of said games with limited players, most times players have left and left just one other player in the game with me. This I admit can get extremely frustrating but I will not stop till the last. Unless of course it's an arranged thingy and thanks again for your time P-51. I look forward to shooting you down some time lol.

Bottom line is I'm hooked so I plan to become a true contender over the coming months. There's heaps of good info on this site so for those of you who have spent all that time posting with us newbies in mind, I thank you. Awesome work.

Quitters belong on the ground.
