The obvious thing is you don't know what you're talking about. You even said something that proves it in one of your posts. I let you try and figure out which one.

Well everytime I try any maneuber, I spin out despite having E flyin out my ears. did you change something to give you an advantage, ack ack

and I saw you warp a lot

I explained to you why you kept stalling out.  You're ham fisted on the controls and pulling back hard on the stick, pulling far too many G's and getting into an accelerated stall.  As for the warping...my connections looked fine, net status was clean and neither of us appeared to be warping at any time.  You only started with the warping BS after the 4th or 5th time I shot you down.  The time you accused me of warping, we didn't have a visual on each other.  You even accused me of trying to intentionally ram you in the Mossie vs. P-51D fight.

As for trying to change things for the advantage...well kiddo...as you agreed to the terms outlined in this thread for our duel, you wouldn't follow them and tried at every turn to give yourself the advantage to insisting I fly the Brewster or dumping all of my ammo and not shoot at you to insisting on being able to fly as high as you and not engage co-altitude.

one obvious thing is the planes dont handle as they do in real life

And you know how these planes handled in real life?  The problem is not with the planes, the flight model or anything other than with the person in control of said airplane.

You really should rethink that 'I prefer to learn solo' crap.  It's not going to make you a better pilot at all.  Go to the training arena and get a trainer to help you learn BFM (Basic Flight Maneuvers) until you can maneuver your plane without getting into an accelerated stall.  Once you're able to do that, then it's time to start on the more advanced concepts and start cutting your teeth on learning ACM (Air Combat Maneuvering).  Between training sessions with a trainer, go to Netaces.org and read all the write ups that are posted in relation to dogfighting.  No shame in asking for help when you need it and don't let your little ego keep you from doing it.

The most important thing in learning anything ain't having the best teacher, ain't having the best books or illustrations, ain't having the best equipment.

It is having an open & humble mind.

That's it right there.

It seems like the kids today( I know not all, but quite a few) get all bent out of shape when you try to teach them something. Like you are slighting them somehow because they don't know. There is no shame in admitting that you don't know. The shame is in saying you know and not having a clue.

One last question...what was the deal with the rockets when you upped the P-38L?  You know those aren't air to air rockets, right?  Have to admit, not often does someone attempt to HO me with HVARs.
