Where have all the newbs gone????
« on: August 04, 2008, 05:24:00 AM »
Is AH having a failure to recruit fresh meat atack.

I like easy kills and I am finding it increasingly difficult to find baby seals to club. People keep takin me on with consumate skill in inferior planes and winning. I ve been aiming at a kd of 2 and seeking out rookies and average buff pilots and they dont seem to be out there so much. Everyone seems to know some ACM and when you get on their 6 they wont keep still and let you tear them up :mad:.

Come on HT, get an add out on the Cartoon channel or something of that ilk.

Maybe you've reached your skill level plateau and it's not as high as you thought :)

Maybe you need some better gunnery?  I dont know anyone who flies straight to give the enemy an easy kill.

maybe school started back up again?

I dunno going by numbers I think they are as high as they have ever been since I moved here.   Gunnery is about practice, convergence for maximum effect and pulling enough lead to hit every time.  I'm lucky to be blessed with a decent shot.  Getting a big bellybutton monitor also helped.

You prolly scared them off with your consummate fiter skilz.  :D
Club enough baby seals and all that will remain are their daddies who will want to kick your butt.
