Kind of like if you go into a pool hall and beat all the best shooters in there with a bent house cue and a crappy tip.

Still dont get it....
I'd rather fly what I like and master it rather than just being medicore in something I dont like.

Every plane has it own quirks and characteristics...... Strenghts and weakness.

You couldnt take your knowlege of a Zero and make yourself a better Typhoon pilot   (unless you were fighting a zero)

Just two totally different ways to fight the planes

Personally I fly the 2 planes I like and try to master them to the best of thier ability.

Nothing wrong with the way you're doing it but that is another reason I switch it up and fly planes that are sub-par or I'm sub-par in. Know thine enemy

Maybe one day, players like you will get a clue that it's not the plane but the pilot.  After all, it's the pilot that tells the plane what to do, not vice versa.

I understand that it is the pilot, which is only furthering my point. I try to make myself a better pilot by learning other planes so I can fly against them and when I get in a plane I am better in, it feels like a weight is lifted and I fly even better than I did before.

I was trying to be neutral about it, like I said, I don't care how everyone else does what they do. This is just what works for ME. There was absolutely no need whatsoever for your derision, drive through to the next window please.

You have a lot to learn...

Todays Homework : -

Look at the above statement again and explain why that is wrong.  How can using the experience learnt in a slow turnfighter benefit you in an e-fighter?

[plank]

If that's directed toward me furball I only meant learn the plane so you can fly against it, know it's limits and such.

Edit: Yes, I have a lot to learn, I have NEVER stated otherwise. I am the worst virtual pilot I know and my progress is slower than anyone's in existence. Does that cover everything?

So,... pilots, like Bong, Gentile, Gabreski should have not been using thier P-38's, 47's, and 51's, but should have left those for the new pilots, while they flew the entire war in something like Brewster Buffalo's.
Makes perfectly good sense to me!

John,

This is a forum for a Game called Aces High.

I am describing planes in a Game not real life.

It is everyone's right too fly what they want.

The more experienced pilots fly the more difficult planes.

No, no, no, no...you got it all wrong.  The P-38 is the EZ mode plane, the Spit V is the Dweeb No Skill Plane.  Just ask 1HungLo, he'll set ya straight

Don't worry Lev, when you get more "experience" you'll find out.

Obviously not you Ack.

Redtop why don,t you try applying all those skills you have too a plane with no wep,or dive flaps,and a higher level of difficulty?

You prolly HO shoot everybody 1/2 the time anyway.

I feel...I don't know...liberated I guess. Finally I know that when I get a kil it is really the plane and not me. I was having delusions that I actually wasn't good , but yet not the worst. Now I know I AM the worst and feel better knowing my place.


I have like 9000 perkies....that Spit V should use em I think.

Not like I earned em...it was all that plane.

Geeesh I feel better

lol!

In my view anyone who flies a difficult plane because it is, is insane.  Why fly a plane you have no affinity for?  I fly the mossie not because it's anymore difficult, but because i love it, i have lots of fun flying it.  I die enough times, but it is damn fun.   Doesn't stop me from hopping in a spit though.

What makes a plane difficult?  It's not easy to quantify using a single performance characteristic.  Does lesser turning ability make it more difficult?  That only poses a problem if you have not acquired enough experience to overcome it.  The majority of moves in one plane can be transfered to another.

Obviously since I fly the ultra EZ Mode P-38J, a plane that someone with your vast amount of experience and skill wouldn't be caught dead in.
