Relying on a wingman is, I think, an easier way out.  I intend to do this on my own with the occasional help from nearby friendlies.   Others have, I intend to figure it out. Thank you though.   :salute

Then you're doing it wrong.  Flying with a wingman requires a totally different set of skills, and those skills only improve your overall capabilities.  I have no doubt that Fester wouldn't be what he is today without having winged with Kappa (and others) for years, and I would be half the pilot I was without the experience and enjoyment of winging with folks like Kitty, NathBDP, and Drex.

The best part is that you and your wingman can beat the crap out of each other 1v1 in the dueling arena, then you head to the MA and destroy legions of enemies together.

I got to wing up with blukitty last week. we litterally destroyed a small army of enemy airplanes just by flying in the same area with just a tiny bit of coordination. if it was two enemies easy 1v1 kills if they didnt double up... if they doubled or trippled up someone got two free kills while the other evaded the attacks of forced overshoots and killed some at the same time.

its fun to wing up with your friends online. making clutch shots on enemy planes that keeps your wingies flying and shooting planes off your tail is one of the most enjoyable parts of the game.
Fester was my in game name until September 2013

I haven't talked to her lately.  The last time I got an e-mail from her was maybe 4-5 years ago.  She'd gone to culinary school and was working as a soux chef out in California.  It seemed to me like she had really cleaned up her life, which was great to hear.
