You stop being a noob when you can fly two planes with a decent ability to get in and out of battle (furball) with a decent success rate imo.

I JUST barely cross that threshold....2 years btw.


I don't mean a few times, I mean being able to take a p51 and be confident that no matter what you match up against, you see whats coming and know how to handle it.

As goes with me for the KI and my ability to evade or fight my way out.


Assuming you don't get overwhelmed like 5 to 1 that is...I'm thinking more like 2v1 or 3v1 situations.

Losing noobness is understanding a merge.

It is also understanding E, in a very basic form.

Do these simple things, and you're already better than 40% of the MA. And you'll only improve your percentile from there.

The way I see it is when you learn the way the game works and start doing things that are actually beneficial to the country your flying for you stop being a noob.

well that sux I have been here since around tour 52,  still a noob, don't care about how the "chess pieces" are doing in the "war". I've just been flying for the fight.




you stop being a noob when you can take any plane up(if that is your choice of vehicle) and no matter what you encounter, know what you need do to kill it,  in other words, knowing all of the planes "stats"  what they excel at and what there weaknesses are.   

took me about 4 months to declare my self a non-noob.

being able to utilize that knowledge  and coming out on top, when you start from a disadvantage, whether it be Alt, numbers, or plane type, this is when you become "UBER" or "elite" or "A PRO" or whatever word you use.
