Why am I not an awesome pilot yet?

[Midway]

go outside and get a job. i'm sick of paying taxes for your unemployed butt while you work on your internet awesomeness.  

You make more wrong assumptions.  Just silly.

I don't like paying so much in taxes for unproductive uses either, but that's why you go to your hard fought for right to vote polling place.

I've been around long enough to know that someone that puts in the time you do in this game is either:

handicapped and stuck at home.....which I sincerely hope isn't the case, but one I could understand and say to you, "more power to ya".
or you're a lazy unemployed bum living off of someone else, with no friends and you use this game to make up for it.
or you've achieved the goals you set for yourself in life, have retired and are now enjoying your free time.


I strongly suspect you're in the second category and sadly there are thousands if not millions of American youth just like you. If you and your type would put your energy into something productive that actually meant something in the real world, we'd all be a lot better off.

I'm actually in that list...

  yes I know Lusche. But where ever you may be on the list, I think we can all agree that you are a valued asset to this game and community. This "midway" character is nothing more then a human spambot looking for internet fame and acceptance imo

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.

When I first read this, my mind saw "Sioux Chief", and I thought to myself, "what an interesting résumé....."

Wouldn't a spambot have tens of thousands of posts instead of tens of thousands of sorties?

If I wanted "Internet fame and acceptance", you'd think I'd be much more agreeable with the misinformation posted (like yours) so you'd accept me.   Fact is I care far less about acceptance, and care far more about developing awesome fighter skills.  Is that not yet obvious to you?  

Averaging three posts a day over less than two years is far less than many others on here.  Please check your facts and assumptions before calling people names and invoking put downs based on wrong conclusions.   Thank you.  

Now, back to the topic at hand... any more needs to be said re developing awesome fighter skills?

If not, let's   from this thread.

I love how you all manage to get Midway to reply with such walls of text.


  UpTown good catch.

...tens of thousands of sorties over a year or two?

It's an odd concept on the surface, but...

As your skill increases you'll probably have fewer sorties per playing session/month/year even if you play for the same amount of time (simply because you'll die less).  Sorties per time period is rather meaningless as a result.  Actually, a high sortie count could represent (at least in part) a low skill level.

My average sortie count over the last few tours has been decreasing.  Well over three thousand early on, only about two thousand last tour.  


But bailing after bingo ammo instead of landing sorties will move it back the other way...  unless...
...I get better faster?

   It's too confusing... must from this thread and

Can hardly believe this thread is still going.
