A valuable lesson
I fly and I die. Most of the time I die miserably without a clue . Sometimes I know I’m getting in trouble and then die. Last night I was killed nine separate times by the same pilot. Even though I couldn’t  always see how he killed me, I learned more at his hands about my shortcomings than in all previous deaths.
Thanks Fariz, and thank you for not laughing and pointing.

Mudder,

I've been flying this simulation since last Oct.  I still get my butt handed to me all the time.

Do something that I have not done, learn proper ACM or so-called "tactics" from one of the trainers. Or from someone who is willing to help, such as RAM here.

My squadron is full of execellent pilots, but I am too stupid to tap into their knowledge.  I learn from them by watching what they do, but I never asked for training help.

I'm an average pilot and I guess that is good enough for me!    

BTW.  Fariz is a top notch pilot. He has skinned my cat (sorry Hang) a few times also!

Good luck!  Any time I can help, let me know!

I think just about everyone dies at Fariz's hands, you've been man-handled by an ace!
