Oh and my aim sucks at all distances except for 100k or less, then it's still hit or miss(usually miss)

My aim.  Especially when people pull negative G  rolls.  Only place you are not safe is 800 to 1000 out and climbing.  I just cant miss on those.  Probably a game bug though

Oh Weakness, good topic Bat

1:  My number one weakness getting slow in my 51B/D.  Gets me all of the time.  
2: ACM precision, I know the moves in my head, but performing them smoothly is something different.

Decision making.  I am definately not one of the better sticks in the game, so having a good flight for me is all about decision making.  Who and when to engage.  Where to up, and where to fight.  When I'm making poor decisions, I die a lot.

1. SA entering fight. I manage a few safe turns and glances then as it heats up, I get a few shots off and I either get shot from behind, hoed or collided with.

2. Damage dealt. I regularly ping shots but am not doing enough damage to execute quick kills. Probably poorly set convergence and lack of skill in placing shots while screaming across a sky full of rabid enemies chewing on my plane.

I don't know about that.  You get shot down because you handicap yourself like flying a Spit 1 or Hurri 1 in LW.  You also like the challenge of a good 4 or 5 on 1.  

I know you kicked my a@@ in the DA.

A lot of pilots who think they are pretty hot could learn something from you BaldEagl.

Yeah...there have been plenty of times Ive made poor decisions only to realize it afterwards. There have been plenty of times Ive made a 2nd bomb run into a hornets nest, or, made a bad move against a fighter. I guess what matters is if you learn from it cause this is simply not a game your going to master in a few months.

                   I have a theory that you will learn it much faster if you concentrate on one good all around airplane. Thats why Im spending 75% to 90% of my time in B-26s, "besides it is the uber-bomber".;)

                  Right now Im keying on gunnery while rolling the airplane with my pedals. Im spending at least one session a day in the TA with the target or with guys practicing in fighters.

Only using a simple sidewinder stick and no other fancy gadgets, i think my main weakness is throttle control and missing a few shots when a bit of rudder input would have finished my pray. Just dont tell anyone.

My humility, because I have absolutely no weaknesses to my game.  None.  Zip.
