Mars, I'm a mixture flyer. I like to furball and pounce. When I get frustrated from dying in furballs, I look for a few good cherry picks to feel good again.
I said this years ago to quite a few squad mates. I think the game is 80% mental. Why, just last week Sable, you flat out embaressed me in a 1v1. Two nights ago it was SirLoin giving me fits.
I'm thinking I need to pick a plane and stick with it for a while. Unfortunately for some of you, I am leaning towards learning the stang, which means I will be giving you stang pilots a bad name for a while 
Thanks for chiming in guys.
I get that way once in a while. Went like that for almost month once and got so bad I even considered quitting the game altogether.
For me when I get like that or when I get bored with flying I start spending more time in Gvs. Or more time flying planes I dont normally fly. Sometimes that actually breaks it.
During the almost one month stint nothing was working for me. Hadnt landed a single kill in over a week let alone enough to get my name in lights.
Even Gvs were failing me. Then one night I took up a Jug. Which is a plane I dont normally fly and landed 5 kills. That seemed to break it The next flight I landed 4. I then went back to my 109f and landed another 4.
All was well after that.
Sometimes I've noticed part of the problem is I'll get too much into a comfort zone. Always using the same style and doing the same old moves all the time. Or start forgetting to do things through over confidence or trying to push too hard instead of being patient.
whatever.
Try changing your style
The one thing I try not to do is start going to the uber planes as I find that while after flying high ENY planes for so long. Switching to a plane like the Pony or other of the so called EZmode planes makes it almost feel like your cheating.
And while fun for a while also tends to breed laziness IMO So when you go back to your normal ride it seems 10 times harder to be successful in it then you are used to.
When in a rut I'd advise not to fly the low ENY planes but the higher ones. Fly planes you normally wouldnt even consider flying. Or fly a style you normally wouldnt fly. Just do something different then you normaly do for a while and learn an appreciation for it.
Then come back to your first love. Eventually when the funk breaks, and it will break, it usually breaks in a major way and you will be off an running again
