At the moment i have only tried arcade battles ( any map any aircraft) I fly using realitstic controls, one below the highest realism. Highest realism controls gives you pretty much everything in il-2 control wise but slightly less engine control wise. DM is alright, easier to shoot people down than in il-2. Physics arn't as good as il-2 but there are huge amount of aircraft. I have not tried out realism battles and war mode yet but will do soon.
