Your opinion: most realistic sim?

Recommended Posts

In your opinion what's the most realistic sim? Arma definitely isn't. Vbs2?

Your thoughts?

Infantry?, Jets?, Helicopters?, Glowing Cows?

My opinion Excluding VBS2

Infantry - ArmA 2

Jets - DCS A10C

Helicopters - DCS Black Shark

Not sure of tank sims (haven't played any) but i'm pretty sure its not arma :)

You are wrong - those games don't have realistic tanks and thus are not realistic sims

If the fidelity of simulation is the only criterion, I'd say iRacing. From what I've read, it's as close to real driving you can get without stepping into an actual car. Flying and other sims usually need to use simplified algorithms and gameplay solutions.

The original Steel Beasts was a fine example, but still lacking a lot.

Tank and IFV Combat is not that bad in DCS when you set it up and just watch it...much better compared to ArmA.

Falcon 4.0 AF, DCS-Blackshark, Rise of Flight, Lock On FC 2.0, IL-2 Sturmovik: 1946..all good and true Simulations...OFP, ArmA is and always was more like a better, bigger scale and more sophisticated DID "Wargasm".

except that

had

upgrading to challengers, T-90s and Leopards IIs ans then quiring the futuristic MBTs and IFV...as well as the hellfire firing Infantry. And don't forget the

But this was

Simulation I fell in love with...at the cost of a female relationship, had to save Scandinavia from the russians had no time for the girl. Edited by Beagle

Lufthansa Flight Instructores stated several times that even the full motion flight simulators are not able to simulate true flight envelopes. The simulation part behind it is not much better than MS Flight Simulator for your Home PC. These Simulators are procedure simulators not true physics simulators. In fact some "games" do already better compared to this full motion simulators in pure physical flight and airfoils simulation. The approval times for new software usually makes the full simulators outdated. Edited by Beagle

Well as far as simulators go for a combination of both accuracy and design concept compatible with gaming platforms go I've always had a soft spot for

He did say it was an opinion. Is Beagle rightly says, pay attention to the armored combat going on below you next time and you might just notice that it is much better than ARMAs.

Holy crap I remember seeing that game a long time ago, but NEVER playing it.
You missed an Inspiration...now you have to wait for ArmA III...it's the potential "Wargasm II" ;)

The YouTube videos don't do the game right, most of the scenarios in campaign had a much more traditional combat feel especially in the low tech continents.

I'm looking forward to the the plasma gun ProTank again in A3 ;)
