Tizzo Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 With the new release of DCS A10 ( which is awesome and a bit overwhelming at times ;) ) there are going to be a lot of people new to the level of detail in this flight sim world. I'll explain the difference as quick as I can. Yes I understand this is the helicopter start up procedures in the A10 section (Don't worry about the level of detail guys). I'm just simply showing the difference between getting off the ground in this game compared to others using a helicopter Kamov Ka-50 quick start up procedure.

Kurtz Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 The main let down for me regards the likes of BF2 and ARMA2 is two things- 1. Even using a full set of flight gear the game is built to be flown via mouse. So the aircraft behaves like crap. 2. The aircraft lack any basic cockpit targeting systems. If they fixed those two things I would consider ARMA2 flight despite its lack of complexity. In a perfect world the DCS Blackshark, and A10, plus EECH Apache, or the incoming Combat Helo's Apache should be flown over a fluid and massive multiplayer battlefield, and not against AI drones.

Slippery Pete Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 Battlefield Vietnam had pretty good FM's for an arcade shooter. The helos flew like you would except them to and they were quite responsive and maneuverable. Definitely the best FM of any non-flight sim I've ever played. Arma's on the other hand are pretty awful, and it's shame. No transitional lift, no rudder authority at anything other than a dead hover. Not even worth trying to be a pilot in it imo. But still I see plenty of dedicated helo pilots when playing online who think it's awesome. Ignorance is bliss I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAIPAN_ Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 Yeah ARMA2 is an infantry simulator... helis are just there to provide insertion/extraction role and to provide some air support for the infantry. Not good for the guy flying the heli, but good for the infantry.
