First of all, the community in this game is terrible. After a point.

It has a steep learning curve. And, in the beginning, most people are friendly enough and will help you.
However, once you start into tier three, you will start to encounter the rest of the community. And, they are not nice people.

If you are playing anything other than fighters, such as bombers or torpedo planes, prepare to be harassed. The average player seems to feel the only point of playing is to fly a fighter and all other aircraft are garbage and deserve to be shot down. As a rule the Russian aircraft are overpowered and not historically accurate at all.

If you play ground forces, you will encounter a different type of player. As a group they tend to be more level headed and helpful.
Learn to play realistic mode. It is slow and paced, but it filters out the children better.
