I'm sure by now your getting a picture painted for ya,... Going it alone doesn't do you alot of good. Especially if your not that good to begin with. I've had my best success when I was with well managed squads, that had enough vets to teach some real good tips. The first rule of aviation, even in the real world is, "you never stop learnning." If you raise the main gear, thinking your the best or the baddest, your going to get your feelings hurt always. You got guys in here that have been doing this since the game first started. They have nothing better to do, than to search the skies for people like you and me. You'll never know it all, neither will they. But it is a certainty, that they know more than you, and that's the edge they will have over you, until you become a student again. If the way your doing things aint working for ya, then be willing to change tactics.
By the way, I'm looking for a good squad to get into. It's been 3 years since my last visit to this game. I remember you from back then. I'm sure I'm rusty enough for you to take me out quickly! Unless you've wasted 3 years and haven't learned a thing, outside of what you think you already know.
