Well this discussion should be just me. I play AH and EAW about 50/50 online, and enjoy them both.
Don't worry Bee, I don't believe EAW's FM is as real as it can be, but don't believe every EAW pilots is crap and know no ACM, just because you beat the hell out of some guy that was provoked by your taunt.
Unlike AH there is a lot of mixed skill when playing online in EAW. In AH the majority is above average or good pilot, where (at least at Zone) the average pilot is well just that, some real newbies and some great pilots. When a guy wants to try his strengt with flightsims he don't go into online simming at once, but try one of the boxed sims first and later maybe try that sim's online adventures.
I would say I personally know quite a few guys that could give you, and even some of AH's top pilots, another impression of EAW (and especially its pilots).
These EAW pilots would most likely get kicked just as much if they were to try AH, but I think even Eric Hartmann would. It all comes down to getting used to how each games different interpretation of real lifes flight model.
Good sim-pilots know their ACM and just need to get used to how they use them in different games. Some have a steeper learning curve in this way than others.
To Fariz I would say that i actually learned a great deal of E-fighting in EAW, but in AH I get much more into turning. I guess its a combination of often engaging bandits much higher than you and that I just still haven't learned how to master E-fighting here, although I got a good knowledge of how it should be done. (steeper learning curve)
And btw don't compare how many drones you can shoot down to an average online sortie in AH or EAW.
If I would to duel anyone here at AH in a sime of my choice I would pick EAW as the place. I am still more used to how I perform the same acts I try to do in AH, but here they don't work quite as often.
You still got EAW on your harddrive Bee?
In the end I would like to state like Bee that EAW at Zone is a great morale booster, because there is more newbies, but like I hope I made clear it is just that EAW's crowd is newer to online flight simming and I know who I need to fly with to get a challenge. On the other hand a newbie is always great to encounter be that in EAW or AH
