DC : Point tank at something, pull trigger, target dies
BF : Point tank at something, try and get trajectory right, target takes a hit and doesn't die until after a couple more hits.
The speed of the aircraft added to the already less-than-perfect flight controls makes dogfighting a pain in the arse. Much better in the BF fighters.
I'll play whatever, I just think DC is best reserved for LAN farting about rather than competitive play.
Nah DC is the daddy, the weapons and vehicles are far more fun to use, it just feels nicer. You'r right about the point and shoot but only at close range, anything more than a few hundred metres and the shells /rockets still dip a fair bit. Vanilla BF has less variation of ground vehicle, and you get exactly the same one shot kill if you use a tank against anything other than another tank.
It's the helicopters that make DC for me, they just feel fantastic to fly. The latest patch has toned them down abit so they're not quite the killing machines they once were, but they still rock.
Vanilla BF doesnt quite give the whole "Theatre of War" feeling cause there's only ever one or two aircraft up at once. In DC there's always something going on above your head.
And if you cant control the aircraft at high speed then you just suck tbh
