The answer is simple.... don't whine about getting killed, no check6 etc.... bite your tongue and tell yourself "it's only a game".   Most of all - have fun!  

[lwp508]

I have alot of fun for about an hour then I just want to kill someone. Maybe I need to hook up with a squadren or something . By the way I replied to your earlier post .

[Flossy]

LOL yes, I have just replied to your other post too, and joining a squad was one of my suggestions there - just don't rush into joining the first one you come across.  Ask to fly with a few to see how you get along first and then decide.

Yes, I have learned a lot faster by joining a squad.  It
still will take you a long time to be "effective" in this game.
   Go into it with the attitude that you WILL get killed at
least 10 times for every 1 kill you make (or more), but each
time you go up, record your engagements (Using ALT R)
and review them at the end of the night.  Use this as a great
tool to see what you did to get you into a bad situation, and
what it would take the next time to avoid that.
   The film viewer is awesome (if the viewer decides not to crash on you..it's still a bit buggy).  The films let you view ANY pilot's
cockpit within a certain range of where you were when you were
recording.  Next time you get killed, note the name of the pilot
that killed you.  Then when you review the film, ride along in
his plane and see what tactics he used to get on your six.
    If you find a friend in here that is great at the game, ask
him if you can ride along with him .  If you can, and he's in a fighter, look his name up in the "Join" section of the game,
click on his name, and when he accepts you..you are an observer
in his plane.  You won;t be able to control anything accept
your own views  (left, right, up etc.).  this is kinda cool way of
learning too.

You've been provided with a short list of valuable advice. Here's another tip: find a plane you're comfortable in and stick with it. Maximize its head positions, fine tune its gun convergence and get to know all its strenghts & weaknesses. Altitude = potential energy. Use it wisely. When you encounter a furball - kinda hard NOT TO DO on the small maps...stick to the outter perimeter and hunt the strays on the fringe. ALWAYS check your SIX and give "check 6's" whenever you can. Never up from a capped field unless you plan to die.

Conquering the learning curve is half the fun. Be patient...kills will come and deaths will subside.

lwp, ty anything I can do to help I will. What is your  handle in the game? I'll look out for you and try for some 1 on 1 stuff before the free period ends if we meet.
As mentioned above the H2H will still be available after the tryout is over, free for you to use until your ready to join up.

handle is a508 and once again thank you.

I fly in the MA pretty much exclusivley. Im in a squad. We fly Knights. IF thats who you are flying for we would be more than happy to help you in any way we can.

Learning this game (I still am after a couple years )can be extremely frustrating. I have lost my temper more than once. I have slammed my chair backwards and walked away for a few days. Even quit a few months.

Lemme tell you it is fun. Once you treat it just as it is. A GAME. I still get frustrated at times but not NEAR the level I used to.

Find a Squad as was mentioned. Fly with them or near them. Help where you can. Dont be afraid to ask questuions. Youll get the smart a** answer Im sure but someone will answer you in a polite way Im sure as well.

Find one plane. Fly it ALOT. Bored with flying it fly it some more. When you have everything set and you finally feel comfortable, one day youll be flying and notice..."Holy **** I have 5 kills this run"   Don't be concerned with what somoeone says about what you fly. TRUST ME ON THIS ONE.

Welcome to AH. Youll find that this game can be a great deal of fun. You can make new friends(all be it online). You can learn all the time even when you become what you think of as good.

Enjoy it:)

When i started i got shot down all the time trying to get a kill.

Then i changed strategy.

I tried to NOT get killed myself, waisting all my energy with staying behind the enemys.

When you can fly in enemy space for the whole fuel tank worth and get back and land, without any kill, that is GREAT skill.

Start to get kills later.

nice stinkbait, but the average la-7 weenie doesn't have a clue anyway. all they do is run when they inevitably screw up, which is why people really whine about the la7.

the la7 is both over- and underestimated... for all the wrong, clueless reasons

[mars01]

Every time I get shot down, I get the first second of being pissed then I think well if nobody got shot down no one would have any fun, so by me getting shot down once in a while someone is having some fun so....

At least your allowing for everyone to have some fun.

It's ghey but it works lol.
