can anyone point me too and explaain some of the differences in the more populated pve servers please

[Warlock 1-1]

for example, i know the 4ya servers are a good starting point but beyond that i know nothing in this regard, as in my opinion the server browser is hard to judge what each server is like, but that could also be because i am new to games like this.

 

i still have some learning to do before i join mp as i have only done the su 25t, mig 29, f18, and half of the f15c campaign so far and some f16 training instant action missions.

 

please and thanks

Most of the time popular server are the more complete in terms of things to do (AA,AG,transport and logistics, helo CSAR and so on), with detailed briefing to explain what pilots has to do and so on.
So basically even if you fly multiple time on the server, you'll not be annoyed since there are generally also some randomization for target etc.

But there are still good solution that are less popular, but they are really friendly place to fly for new players as well as experienced virtual pilots.
My suggestion is to read carefully the briefing, where you can normally find all the information that you need, and of course select a server "close" to you, lower is the ping, smoothest will be the experience  

A general command that you can see in all the server, use the radio menu, and look under Other submenu, all the "custom" things of the server, goes in that place!

Thank you, i will do what you mentioned when i get more familiar with the way the game works

do you have any idea of how easy to hard the more populated pve servers are in terms of skill level required?

also the only reason i mention the populated aspect is because i dont want to feel to lonely playing the game when i try multiplayer even if i dont interact with other people that much myself, that prob sounds weird maybe, but even if don't interreact directly with other people, if i am in a mp server of any game with a decent amount of people it still feels less lonely then

I can't advise for all other servers, but general speaking server admin prepare different level of difficulty just to make sure that everyone can enjoy the server.

Taking for example my servers, you have a radio menu to spawn new mission, you have to choose first of all the "difficulty" level: easy, medium, hard.
based on the difficulty, you'll find different threat level.

In easy air to ground mission, you can expect only light anti air like zu-23, while on hard level you have to expect heavy SAM protection
The same for air to air mission, the enemy aircraft type and ammunition will depend on the difficult level selected.

On top of that for example on my syria server there is a conquest mode. So you can work to conquest more airfield, the "first" one will be "easy", while going deep in the enemy space, more close to their main base, it will be very difficult for strong CAP and sam resistance.

This is how I've arranged stuff on my server, but I'm expecting is the same approach also on the server where you can select mission to sapwn etc.
