Problem??? this is how I fly 98% of the time...

1. See giant furball.

2. Blow E advantage.

3. Make many planes miss.

4. See how long you can last and make snapshots..

Killed 5 bish on 1 a couple of weeks back dove into a load of red to help out khonees  when scot 12b tried helping him in his 38 he didnt last long.

But it was like a tank of piranhas all trying to get at the same piece of meat.

Dont remember much of the fight or who i killed but there were more than 5 guys in the area maybe 10 plus with  a good 2 or 3 all diving in with their triggers pressed down.  Luckily with the spit 16 and with the aid of the side of a canyon.  I forced 2 to auger and crash whilst I was doing some last ditch slow evasives in ma spit 16.  Ended up shooting 3 of them down in between ducking and dodging bullets matrix style.

Must have been there for a good 5 minutes because scot managed to fly all the way back to enable me to get out.  My only regret was to not hit the record button would have made one hell of film. :)

Do I have a death wish?

I've been playing for two years, and have reached the stage where I'm not improving. Mind you I still dive my typhoon headlong into bunches of enemy Niks and Zekes and then try and turnfight them!

I do this knowing I'm gonna cop a packet, why? oh why can't I learn?

So, why you callin me stoopid? :p ;)

As for the premium membership thing: gotta be one of the silliest ideas I have heard.  You can get the same low numbers, gentlemanly action in the AvA.  Paying a higher price will not guarantee a better attitude.  In fact, I'd be willing to bet there are some who would work their tails off to qualify just to get in there and vulch, HO and gangbang so they could hear the "vets" cry about it.   But then I'm not entirely certain that was a serious post either :huh ;)

I noticed this in myself.  I few only the P40E for a long time... as in years.  But I just got sloppy and stopped caring.  Since switching to the F6F I'm back to trying to survive and do well.

For me I believe it came down to survivability.  The previous arena setup had allowed me to readily recognize my countrymen, know who would cover my back, give the 6 calls etc.  I could take a P40 and have a reasonable chance.  Now I recognize a few people... but very few.  Basically its a solo gig.  Switching to the F6F has made it possible to complete sorties in the LWAs... at least for me at my skill level.
