You can utterly ignore complex engine management. The auto works just as well if not better than what most humans can do.BenKenobi said:
I mean it was put there by defeault. I played only one battle so far, was running at WEP the whole time and nothing seemed wrong. Also, the planes seem to deccelerate and accelerate ridiculously fast, although I have played that...well...second of three types of battles. Lastly - there is no attitude indicator in external views? How am I supposed to fly the thing?
Well, HB (or "Realistic" battles) is a bit different from FRB.
If you want to use a joystick, don't fly that. You're outclassed by mouse aim, which is 100% accurate after all.

I am afraid of the most real setting possible, because I dont have TrackIR and the view (judging from the tutorial where you have...LaGG-3?) is terribad. Is there a solid virtual cockpit with view controllable by mouse to allow what TrackIR does (like the wonderful DCS one) or am I enclosed in one position with very stupid ways of looking around (ie. holding c and mouse movement)?
You only get a virtual cockpit if the plane has no regular one, i.e. every bomber. Otherwise you're forced to use a proper cockpit like everyone else.
You can set up the mouse to be your view with no additional buttons. Sheep was pretty good when using "just" that.
I know a guy who uses wsad to look around and he swears by it. It's probably the superior method once you get used to it because you don't have to take your hand off the keyboard when you want to look around.
Or you can use the classic and use the coolie-hat for it. The little stubby thing on the top of your joystick, if it has it.
Do you have a webcam? Many folks use it with various free software out there to track their head movement.

FRB Tanks are surprisingly fun.
Wouldn't have expected it to be. Now if only there was matchmaking... >.>

Instant action, no thought and skill required. Nice to blow up some stuff and then move on.
I can see the appeal in that.

Its much better for farming with bombers in Tier 4 Japan than it is in RB. Tier 4 fighters suck in AB though, it is quite a cluster**** and they are too fast for the close distances so respawn waves always catch up to you and everyone can climb really well.
If you want to farm with bombers play B17s and B24s in FRB. The payout is utterly insane.
You don't need a joystick, you don't need to know anything. Just fly low and slow and rake in kills.

A typical HB/RB for me:krik said:
1.) I select my plane
2.) I wait ~2 minutes for the MM
3.) I spend the next 5-10 minutes climbing and flying towards the objective
4.) Even after all that climbing, I find a LaGG-3 or a ****cobra who's a thousand or more feet above me
5.) I get BnZ'd and get my engine shot out or set on fire, before I can do much (if any) fighting
6.) **** that ****, I'll go back to arcade.
Either that, or when I do choose to fly HB, I'm foolish enough to go out in a miserable (in HB) plane like the Spitfire Mk. Vb, which barely has enough energy to keep its nose out of the ground. I'll let you imagine how those battles go.

I still think that they have to add mouse control in FRB for planes. Sticking the mode to the joystick effectively scares the players away. I know the "mouse joystick" thing, and it's ****ty and hard to set up. I'd rather go for an AB match than play with all the settings and test flights to see whether it works or not.
