Don't spent too much time in TA, best training is the real life experience ( in the virtual skies).
You will be shoot down alot wheter you use a trainer or not and in MA you can at least draw the fire , just as i do, aaarrgghhhh

No problem on the info.
Oh make no mistake, I am looking forward to getting into the real action, but....if I am depending on a wingman to cover me, I would like to think he/she knows how to fly and how ACM works.
I know flying against better pilots will only serve to make me better, but I would like to think I know enough about the plane I am flying to at least give that better pilot a challenge.
For me, being the very competitive person that I am, there is more gratification in defeat when I have been beaten by a better pilot, rather than being shot down because I forgot where the flap button on the keyboard was.
The reverse is also true for me. More gratifying to shoot down a pilot who is equal or better, rather than a pilot who did not know he could not do a horizontal 360 degree turn in a P51 when he is 2000 feet off the deck.
Like in the real word, no one puts a pilot into a combat plane and tells em, "Okay rookie go shoot something down", without training the stuffin out of him/her first.
I work hard and I play hard and I do not like to lose. When I am ready, you will see me in the MA and, with any luck/skill you will have that view of me as you are ditchin your aircraft because I put too many holes in ya
