WTG Hog,
I feel like the new players are almost intimidated by the older players that can sometimes use harsh stuff on 200 but if they just politely ask for a quick training session they will give it on the spot. I sucked really bad until SunsFan went to the DA with me for a fun 1v1, he told me I was doing it wrong and should me some of the basics to AcM other stuff Ive picked up is just getting in fights with people better then me like Kermit, he pwns me but I learned alot from the video, some rookies dont know that sometimes you want your plane to go slower then the other, and that there are ways of making a plane like a K4 out turn a spit 16
Thanks for the info Hog....you really helped me a lot with my 109 flying..you're just too good in that F4U....sorry i didn't reply to your PMs  :salute

I agree, most of the experts enjoy teaching the newbs just as much as shooting them down. In the end we all get better fights.

Personally my 'break through' was a long time after I started playing, too long in fact. After years of playing all it took AKNimitz was an hour in the DA and a few hours winging in the MA, and he transformed me from a complete hack to landing multiple kills while following the unwritten gentleman rules of ACM in AH... and all this was before I was even a member of his squad.

Now I wish to continue with that tradition of the original AK's, of helping people who are willing to listen, and generally promoting more 'classy' fights.
The journey is the destination.

When did you quit?
Amazing you could actually recruit that much suck into one squad.
Your Proctologist called, they found your head.

I find that funny because my squaddies it 11-0 jousting 110s with a Spit 1 (he hasn't died to a HO from a 110 in a spit 1)
Tours 86 - 296

Well one thing I realized, you must show them by HOing they are giving their opponent an advantage, and you show them this by killing them repeatedly.

If they kill you just one time in the HO they likely won't listen to any amount of "advice" you give them. Likewise if you kill them in the HO, they will not learn the intended lesson.
