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.

i agree with the above ive seen myself in a 4 on 1 (me) and played to the end imo it can only help hone you're skill lol hence my dog fighting on all levels is still really poor as MQ, brigg, gilly, DKwookie and others will testify lollol


but unless its uneven teams and an unlimited time limit and one airfield in a CTA or really really laggy will be the only times i will quit, and i never quit as host ................ ever. its not fair on the guys playing and if people are looking for unlocks ect ect.


as clan said quitters should just stay grounded lol



just love this game its one of the best and so are one and all playing excellent bunch of guys/gals

People will always quit, no matter what the game is. Quitters never learn how to lose properly... even if you're getting your butt kicked stay in the game.

In a matchmaking game in Halo 3 I played a 4 vs 4 game of slayer. All 3 guys on my team quit 1 or 2 minutes in (mostly because 1 guy quit, which caused another guy to quit, which caused another guy to quit, a chain reaction thing), but I stayed in there and even though I lost the match I was pretty proud of myself, since they had only won 23-17.


The Lesson: Even if the odds are against you, stay in the fight, if you quit you have no chance of winning at all; even if the chances are very slim, you still have a chance if you don't quit. Plus, if you quit all the players on your team will be angry, and it might cause another person to quit because they think since they are outnumbered they can't win.

This player turns up again in a SIM game hosted by an excellent flyer, Unfortunately his first encounter is with the host who promptly shot him down within minutes of the start....he quit and left his team a man short. I had to laugh even though he was on my team. Next session starts and he jumps in again....(jeez...you gotta be kidding I thought!).....the teams are random but he is in the stronger formation with experienced SIM players....this team wins and....yeah you guessed........ he didn't quit....says it all really!

though i never played simulator, the hardest i have venture is realistic, I never quit a game, that just shows u are not a good player. And I don't mean a good pilot, but a good host or visitor. U have to keep flying no matter if u are winning or losing. I have sometimes played in teams in CA were we start even. Then the only guy playing in my team is just me vs 2, 3 or even 4 guys. Some of them pitty u and let u land then do silly stuff, others just keep killing u. For instance I once played in a group of 4 on 4. then all my partners quit and i was alone. Finally after letting my score drop to 50 the other team of 4 decided to let me land and capture the airfield. They though i was a noobi, since the only thing i kept doing throughout the game was land [no shooting] then they let me win the game. later they wrote me that they had send a message to the quiters. "Had u guys help him out, u could have won, he was on fire, got each of us 10 after he capture the airfield". a false thing that i got each of them 10 times, but true that i won the game. I was surprise about this outcome.

Months later, in strike I playe on a team of 6 vs 4 [2 just join my team because i had the b17]. as the game was almost over i stopped bombing the other team bases to a score of 30 vs our score of 500. The opposite team only had one brave he111 remaining who kept playing even when the other 3 players had quit. Then, I decided to go crazy and help that bomber, so i did. Burn my bases in no time and the he111 won the game. I later wrote "Not a gift from Rommel, but a way to show fairness, Thank u for the game my friend".
