That's right. The best way to learn "Air Combat" techniques is to team up with an experienced pilot and fly with him as his wingman on the same radio frequency. That way the experienced pilot can explain to you what he's doing and why he's doing it, as it's happening. That's the way REAL training is conducted. Newbies should not be thrown away to die in a proper grotesque manner, filming their own death in the hope of learning something.
What can you learn from filming your own death and reviewing the film later ? Not much. Just that you died. You can't tell from looking at an enemy plane in a film whether he's flying with his flaps out or flying at half throttle. About all you can tell, is if he lowers his landing gear so you overshoot him. Telling a newbie to film his own death and learn from it, is about as useful as strapping a video camera to the back of a cow in a slaughterhouse.
New pilots should not have to "prove" their "worthiness" by dying repeatedly for experienced pilots. A new pilot having proved NOTHING, is still a valuable resource, just because he's shown up to play on your countries side. That alone is enough to warrant his training.
Until the experienced pilot recognizes this responsibility and stops exploiting newbies and handing out nearly worthless advise, new players in the MA will continue to play at their customary substandard level. And instead of the game becoming more challenging, it will stagnate just as it has. With new players falling in and out of the game frustrated by the indifference of their teammates.
