I like to use myself as an example.
You put me in the same aircraft as you and I can more than likely beat you. Put me in a Spit 16 I can beat almost everyone in the game ( Allowing for Grizz and Bruv and people of the like who rape the living bajesus out of me ).
Does this make me any more of a noob? no. Why?
Pacman, you're pretty good, I'll give you that, but TBH, if I stuck you in most any plane in the set other than the spitfires, there are
a lot of very good players that would have their way with you. In addition to that fact, there are also quite a few good players that you neglect that would probably have their way with you in spitfires as well. Not to say you aren't a good pilot, as I have said I consider you to be one after fighting you in the DA, but you are currently very one dimensional. You essentially are underestimating most the vets in the game as worthy adversaries because you have curb stomped their less uber rides in the MA a time or two. Fight any of the headhunters in a P38vsP38 and I assure you you will leave a trail of cartoon tears. Fight any muppet in a 109v109 and you won't win many. Fight slapshot Fm2vsFm2, Fight WmLute N1kvsN1k, the list goes on. I could probably name 30 pilots off the top of my head that would be able to easily handle you in 95% of the aircraft in the game. The only edge you hold in spitfires is familiarity with the aircraft and the disillusioned perception you are accomplishing something when you kill vets in lesser rides. Okay, that might have been tough to swallow, but I do think you have potential to be really good. Probably not going to happen though clubbing seals in the MA in Spits and being satisfied with the status quo.
