I seriously doubt that. Much more likely they'll just grab more alt next time. Or head to another field. Or log off.

Again, they don't want to learn--their actions prove this. Maybe later they'll want to learn, and then they will.

These folks know what they're doing. This ain't rocket science. They know that if they want to learn to fight they have to fight. They choose not to, and their idea of fun is something else.

So be it, I say. Live and let die.

You're right, you can only lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink. Same with new players, you can only give them the option of learning and let them take advantage of it. But you have to give them that option.

This ad-hoc training system that AH has might have been sufficient when AH was smaller but now it's not sufficient enough. If you do give a new player a viable option to receive some formal training in not only ACM but also in tactics and the other finer points of air combat, the majority will take it. Again, that was proven in Air Warrior and in Warbirds.

Not only are the veterans doing it.
But the names of some of the veterans I've seen do it would probably surprise you

What's this? A thread about P51 & LA7 dweebery? People not flying *your* way? Well what do you expect! After all, those are the dweeb rides. I thought you knew that! I've told you enough times.

Hehe, whenever you see a P51 or LA7, at least you'll know it's not me.

Beet1e,

Reading comprehension was never your strong suite.

Try again at reading the thread.

This thread is not about what people fly and that being a problem.

Sheesh talk about reading one thing and only comprehending what you want it to read. You are such a woman, only hear what you want no matter how stupid you look. WTG

Beetle = Second vote for this being a good way to fly. That says alot about you.

LOL Beetle!

Go back and actually read the thread from the beginning.

Don't make me go get my purse again!

Cheers, (Srry Beet, but thanks for the morning giggle)

(group replies) "Its ok jamusta we have all been there."
I try to stay away from the p51 by flying the f6f, but she keeps calling me and calling me...(crying)
(group replies) "No No jamusta, we know its not easy, just take it one day at a time..."
But I'm scared...HUG ME...

Too funny Jam.

I crack up when people cry about what planes others fly. Who cares as long as they fight.

jamusta · « **Reply #116 on:** August 13, 2004, 01:33:33 PM »

I tried flying a spit9 last night was fighting a p51 ofcourse ended up nose down chasing it. Compressed, slowed it down pulled the same move I would have done in a p51 blacked out and crashed.. Forget about it, I upped a p51 and proceded to kill everything in site, Spits, 109's, Lancs...I guess thats why I am CO of a 51 squad even tho I cant get them to fly p51's...

mars01 · « **Reply #117 on:** August 13, 2004, 02:35:28 PM »

LOL, yeah it took me a little while to get over that with the spits.

I wish they would add more skins for the other planes. 51D has some awsome skins.
