Pickers are good in the DA, it helps me work on me SA and deffensive manuvers, also learning how to deal with 1v1's 2v1's and like last night 7v1's (no joke, i didnt last very long though haha) and as for the HO'ing some times you get the odd inconvienient HO, but if it really gets that bad, I just grab a 110 and go on a HO' spree, its my favorite place to go when im not in the MA, and everyone is pretty friendly in there, I like the free perk planes and find that I now know how to fights against them better in the MA
