how many cartoon lives do we get?
« on: May 10, 2009, 03:05:42 PM »
This 51 pilot flys like we only get one. I expect to get picked in any fight, but this one takes the cake. 

Watch the first 3:15 at 2X speed. 3 or 4 minutes of him diving to chase the low B-25 were edited out. I let him regain his alt. and he still runs.

Can somebody please help him? He needs a mentor.  :pray

It is up to each player how to use their $15/mo.  I prefer to take off with the idea that I will be landing it later.

I would land but apparently Mr. Scotty keeps beaming me straight out my cockpit and back to the tower.

Ultimately it's up to each player to decide how he wants to play the game.  Personally I take off each time the more or less the idea of landing the sortie when I'm finished.  What I try to do is not let that idea get in the way of situations where I'm forced to work at it, pushing my meager skills to the point of breaking.  Sure I "die" more often than not but it makes those successful sorties so much more satisfying.  Sooner or later the timid flyer will get tired of losing every time he/she is placed in a position where they lose the advantage and can't run, they'll seek out help and grow as a player.

Thanks Buster. Almost decided to just fly straight and let the spixteen have the kill. I understand the desire to stay alive but not to avoid any kind of fight.

My wife came over and watched me take off once, as I was climbing up to altitude she said "Wow, how do you land it?"  I replied, I don't know, I haven't needed to yet.
