I play all three modes, depending on my mood, and patient levels. I started out in Arcade, but now play mostly in Realistic mode. I sometimes switch to Sim mode when I feel like challenging myself. I like Sim, but the only issue I have with it is seeing. I know it is more real like it was in the era, but, I can't see well (I am an aging gamer) besides that, I am disabled, and sit about 12 feet from a 37" HDTV to play. So, I simply have a hard time seeing the foe in Sim, and most the time, end up shooting a friendly anyway. I DID play a game of CTA on Sim mode and it was a blast scanning the air field looking for a landed foe, as well as landing and hiding from a foe. I really did enjoy it allot. I have to admit though, I don't have near as much fun in dogfight, or team dogfight on Sim. I just can't find anyone, and usually end up just flying around, or practicing landings on my own somewhere.. I did the entire game on Arcade, and now in the process of re-doing it in realistic, and enjoying it again. On line, I play realistic when I can, and have converted "some" of my friends on line to realistic. Some of the others find it "hard". I like it a little hard and like to challenge myself. But, I DO like Realistic the best, because I can do more sim like in cockpit mode, but sometimes, I still like to actually see my plane and fly in 3rd person. I think it is fun to see the plane fly as well, so I switch back and forth between cockpit and 3rd person. So, my favorite game play is Realistic, but still do fly Sim every so often, and won't drop out of a game, just because it is Sim, I fly it anyway..
Bottom line, I LIKE the idea that the developers put all modes in the game. It gives me more than one way to play the game. It was smart to in a marketing sense as well.
