AC6 vs Birds of Prey

[dkwookie]

Well for me it's the world war 2 setting for starters. I always prefer aerial combat with guns rather than fire and forget missiles. It requires more skill and is more personal with your opponent.
Learning to second guess what your target is going to do and getting there ahead of him is much better in a ww2 plane than in modern jet combat games.
I havnt played AC6 but have played most of the rest of the series.
My fav jet combat game is an old pc game F18 Hornet Korea. I paid a fortune for a voodoo card for my pc back in the day to get textured graphics. Seeing the graphics in BoP was a real eye opener to how far games have come

Never played or even seen a screenshot of AC6, same as Wookie...missiles and jets are a 'no' for me but the big question is....does it have cockpit views or at least a virtual view from the cockpit? Not tempted but interested to hear what other people think of it just in case I see it up for grabs at a silly low price!

I still have AC6 and won't sell it. It is clearly one of the classics of the 360.

And yes, it has cockpit view.

Same reason as Wookie for me, i feel more of a connection to the opposition i fly against. Just waiting for the lock-on tone and releasing a missile just doesn't do it for me anymore.

Don't get me wrong i loved the Ace combat series, last one i owned was Belkan war on the PS2 seeing as they brought number 6 over to 360 exclusively. However by that time i had my own personal computer and was well into the simulation side of flying "Games".
Which is why i would take the IL-2 series over Ace combat any-day of the week, Il-2 (Not specifically BOP) is a Simulation, whereas Ace combat is the Arcade friendly game that is for people who just want to fly for the kill.

Are there any specifics? You mentioned realism. What else? I'm also comparing only BoP or WoP.
