Some things I have noticed or would like to comment on.  Any feedback or insights are appreciated.

If you'd like, I can arrange some time with you in the Training Arena, let me know.

Yep, I refused to rejoin the 80th Headhunters and Stogey took me into the DA. He beat me soundly twice in a row within seconds each time and I'm back in the 80th.

You DO NOT want to mess with Stogy.

Welcome back mav,

My opinion is bias, but the 38 drivers community is the best in the game!

7) They need a "nub" arena where all the new pilots can fly, and only them can be in it until they "graduate".  Not a training arena or anything, but a full fledged arena that you can only be in when you have less than lets say 200 hours of flight time (or some other sort of qualification that makes sense).   While I am pretty persistant and I will get better, I think some may be scared off by the fact there are so many talented and experienced players. 
7) Where is the b-29 in game?
8.) I was kidding about 7
Anyone notice there are 2 #7's? both are crazy ideas as well  :lol  :salute ~SWkiljoy

Well not much of a 38 guy, but being able to throttle your left engine down and having the right at full does not help the turning of the 38....?  Even in a vertical maneuver......?    Inquiring minds want to know.........

There's been a Rocky flying Knights for years...  Not sure if it's the same guy.

Minimal for hammerhead.
Helps getting out of stall spin.


That is about all.... in a fight it is something else to keep your head in the plane instead of oiutside where it should be.

It lets you make really nice Hammerheads and Knife Overs, helpful in recovering from certain spin situations and increases the immersion factor.  Is it going to let you turn tighter than the other guy?  Nope.

Mav, do you fly as Mav or Maverick? There was a Maverick in last Koth and he was a decent opponent, beat me senseless in a p51 1 on 1 fight.
