Just one of those nights
« on: July 17, 2008, 11:03:17 AM »
Last night (which didnt amuse me) I flew like a complete doorknob - couldnt shoot and hit anything, had trouble keeping the plane in the "air", was up and down like an elevator. Finally logged after ramming some poor guy looking for a fight.

Looking back, I can tell it was just one of those days, but how do you deal with it?

I'm the worst pilot ingame ya know!!!

It's all unrealistic crap requested by people who want pie in the sky actions performed without an understanding of how things work and who can't grasp reality.

That sounds like a regular day to me. What's the problem?  ;)

Yep, sounds about typical for me.  I just make sure I don't take the game too seriously, and if you know you're going to crash, ensure that you do so in style.

For me, that involves doing Immelmans, loops and snap-rolls as much as possible in my B-25.  Always a nice surprise for the fighter pilot who expects an easy target shooting back from the tail gun  :D

Afk for a year or so.  The name of a gun turret in game.  Falanx, huh? :banana:
Apparently I'm in the 20th FG 'Loco Busters', or so the legend goes.
