Changeup...I can't believe you think "anybody can learn to fly". That statement is absolutely WRONG.

agreed bucky. Some people are just born with a lower capability than others. Not bad, some of them are among my best friends, but they just can't do some things as good.

And the converse is true: Some people are born with greater natural ability. In AH, some are better pilots than others, and some are better GV'ers than others. You can make up for it by studying ACM, or learning what makes good cover and where the soft spots on certian tanks are, but thats not going to completely make up for a lack of skill.

Things like hand eye coordination, good reflexes, and timing are the most important 'talents' needed to be uber at this game.

UHOH!!! Me in trouble!!!

Some know how i fly in aces high. Today i went throught the CAF airchives and discovered i am the great great grandson to 2 twins who were the number 2 and # 3 men in the original Thunderbirds Squadron flying in the late 1940's. the first plane they used was the p-47 Which was  my favorite plane and i could do a lot in. Then moved on the p-80's and so on to the jets they fly today. So I'm asking do you think I'm skilled or have i inherited the genes of 2 early genoration Pattillo's who happen to be combat pilots out of WWII.

Note: if u do not think I'm telling the truth look up thunderbirds original members there will be twins who last names are Pattillo. My last name is pattillo and we traced in the CAF (Commemorative Air Force) archives all the way to members in my family.

Hear ya, bud.

My last name is Norris and I hear thunder when I sit on hard surface. Thank you Chuck!

Well I too can absolutely confirm that Genetic characteristics are NOT always passed down the line.

My great grandfather was known far and wide for an unusually long and thick...umm....ah....apendage!!
Girls flocked to his attentions.

I on the other hand.........

...cheers eh!

Don't sell yourself short, you are a big apendage

Nemesis turned a corner!  WOW...if you are born with something Nemesis, guess where that comes from?  Go ahead and say it...you can do it.....GENES!  Another brazen geneticist born right here on the HTC forums....now, go read what you wrote two days ago....lol

Look...maybe the problem is our base beliefs....you believe that anyone can "learn" to fly a fighter aircraft right?  I believe that anyone can learn to fly one as well...agreed?

Maybe you should read it again............

Spot on. Doesn't mean they are a lesser person by any means. I have 3 brothers. Two of them (including me, I believe) can ride anything with a handlebar and usually do it quit well. The other one couldn't ride one if his life depended on it. Well......he does attempt it quit often but fails miserably. (Rest in Piece's limited edition Harley, Sea doo jet ski and no less then 5 mountain sleds) Who know's why? In my first class to get my private we had 12 in it. 8 went on to finish and the rest just couldn't do it! Couldn't even do a standard rate turn!

I'm learning to fly, but I ain't got wings.  I like the will to learn myself. Stop blaming your environment or  hereditity.  This thread gets 3  dancing banana's     Nemesis I bet you've played many games in your (cough) day. I think half the guys here didn't even have atari !  well Grizz is super E 1337! SkillZ , hours logged,controllers, settings, unwillingness to go outside.

  to your grandfathers though lilsquid that was interesting ty for sharing.

Yes, but you can't inherit learned skills. You CAN'T do it, regardless of how you twist it. You can't be born a good pilot, or even knowing how to fly. You have to learn the skills, and I believe the title of this thread is "Skills or Genetics".

The answer is skills, with perhaps a small boost in your hand-eye coordination and reflexes from genetics.

[Belial]

You may have inherited good eyesight and depth perception, thats about all I could see you getting that makes you better without any experience.


But there are some people that are naturally good at almost everything, we call them Chinese
