Best dog fighting games I've ever played are the Battlefield series which I think the Battlefront game comes from (BF1942, BF Vietnam, BF2, BF3 and BF4) BF1942 is now free from Origin, very old but still a lot of fun. You also get to drive tanks, jeeps, artillery pieces, anti aircraft guns and from BF Vietnam onwards helicopters.

Choppers are so hard to fly in BF4. I am ok for a while, but once I get out of shape I can't recover.

It's funny crashing a transport chopper with a load of people inside. And you then get loads of abuse from all who died. Hahhaahah

That's what I'm struggling with on the PS4. I miss my keyboard and mouse - it's faster and more accurate.

I can't seem to get the speed and accuracy for the shooting games with the PS4 pads.

I'm too old to learn these modern ways.

I spend 75% of my life in front of PCs. Sod playing games on them, too.

In fact, my PC doesn't even have Windows installed on it. :D

My laptop does have windows on it though, but that's only because of work.

My work laptop does, but I never really use it unless I'm on the road. I run Windows 7 in a VirtualBox VM on my desktop for apps that won't translate to Linux and my own laptop is a Mac.

I've got a Mac laptop with a boot camped copy of Window 10 which I can either run directly or as a VM in Parallels

I only use Window 10 for games, well I would if half of them hadn't stopped working in Windows 10.

Last night my son was playing the Battleforce version of Capture the Flag. I told him the tactics and within a couple of games he got the hang of it and was doing really well.

Hate those guys.

Sentinel__404 if anyone wants me.

Still hammering Fallout 4 right now. I said to the missus I'd make a brew once I'd finished this mission.

40 minutes later she asked me where it was.

I still hadn't finished! (doh)
