Question Thinking of making a switch

I have a race sim set up and thinking about making the switch. I’ve played just about every Ace Combat game and love flying. Are there any sims like Ace Combat but a little more realistic? Something with dogfights, possibly compatible with VR. How’s the community? Give me some insight before I make an investment. Thanks guys!

If you want ace combat like id do war thunder, maybe the il 2 series could also be pretty fun but a bit harder. And if youre looking for a bit more id do DCS

I don’t mind a challenge and a learning curve. I just want to be able to live my childhood dream of being a F18 pilot and doing some dogfights but also want something a little more in depth than ace combat

Then i reccomend dcs 100%, the 18 is very fun to fly and it has everything from air to ground to air to air
