i cant turn as sharp as the good guys, but its them being better than me that does it.

It be really cool if some of the decent pilots set up classes to give us noob flight sim guys a help up the ladder. im guessing they turn better than i for efficient use of the rudder, but really dont know.
the thing i find with online gaming such as this, Cod...you get the hotshots just making mincemeat out of the noobs and they get so frustrated cos you just cant learn when you constantly shot down.

other thing...is it true you play arcade MP to unlock planes? ive never bothered ith that, just went straight into realistic.

If it's true then there are planes I will do without. I refuse to lower myself to play blazing angels of prey just to get something. In realistic you have to factor in the strengths of each different plane and plan things out. A 190 D9 has better acceleration than a Mustang, but the Mustang has a higher top speed. In trade, the 190s have a superior dive rate, so if a Mustang has you pinned, dive away. If you're in the Mustang, avoid fighting a 190 in the vertical.
