Slump to end all slumps

[Rich46yo]

This game is an awful lot of fun. With a lot of cool people playing it. I believe worrying about scores kinda takes away from it. And actually, seeing some of the good players that still have bad days???

                     It kinda gives me hope.

                      When Im in a bad streak I go into the TA for a few hours just to get my confidence back up.

2 nights ago I only did a couple quick GV missions... got a couple kills and logged.

Last night I did a couple more GV missions to start... got a few more kills, then hopped in a 190A-8 (one of my best planes).  As luck would have it, I immediately ran into a set of Lancs.  I ended up spraying off all my ammo at him over the course of about 10 minutes and only smoked an engine and took out a rudder.  He, in turn, sprayed off all his tail guns and his top guns.  In the end neither of us had any ammo left and I resorted to diving under him and pulling up in front tyring to see if I could get him to collide, causing a death.  My, what dweeberie when desperate.  I did get to land though.

So I up the 190 again.  I see a set of B-24's and climb like he**.  I reach alt just as he's turning back to me.  I level and go for the HO.  I think I hit him but he killed my engine.  I glide to the runway, sitting and waiting to see if I get a kill.  I see two friendlies go down to him, then there's no one left to hurt him but, he goes low over town and the town ack gets him.  I get one kill on 999000.

So I up a Typh from a field back.  I head back low, under dar.  I see an enemy dar bar popping on and off the map in my sector so I grab alt looking for a goon.  It's a set of B-26's.  I dive in hitting him but not taking him down.  I immel and come in again.  999000 pays me back!  And I thought 999 was a friend

1 hour, 1 kill, 1 death on 3 sorties.

Maybe it'll turn over the weekend.  And BTW, I really AM starting to hate bombers!

sounds like your forceing it, just relax and play, don't worry anout anything but having some fun.

It finally ended!  Tonight... 13 kills on 6 sorties, 1 death in 2.5 hours.  I did have to resort to flying a Spit XVI all night but hey, it was the only thing I flew for years.  It was comfortable and I was relaxed, even flying in far outnumbered situations.  I even killed 2 B-24's and was thinking maybe I didn't hate bombers so much after all but the second one handed me my only death of the night.  I guess now I only dislike them

Thank you all for the support and kind words, both friend and foe.  It's part of what makes this the best community on the Internet.  

[EDIT]  On a slightly different topic, I've recently cut down on my playing time by about 30-35%.  What this means is that weekdays, I only get 30-90 minutes to play each day (usually about an hour).  On weekends, I can settle in for an extended period (~3 hours seems ideal).  It seems my weekday play has really deteriorated.  Does anyone else notice this?  Does "settling in for the long run" help you?
