Why am I not an awesome pilot yet?
« on: July 10, 2012, 10:01:51 AM »
Thousands of sorties per tour :huh for almost two years.  :bhead

I can down probably 95% of players 1 on 1 with skills learned so far, that is good. :aok
I film my sorties to put myself in Bruv's or Fester's seat and see what they do, that is good. :aok

but....

When I get target fixated and start turning too much with other bad guys in range, that is bad. :frown:
When I don't know aeroplanes well enough to play to their weakness vs my aeroplane's strength, that is bad. :frown:
When I get below several bad guys and don't watch them closely, that is bad. :frown:
When I try to run horizontally with higher E state bad guys behind or above me, that is bad.  :frown:
When I pay too much attention to the crack 200 channel, that is bad. :frown:
When I do not have close friendlies to clear my six, on occasion, that is bad.  :frown:
When I spend too much time in the bad guy's ack, that is bad.  :frown:

 :bhead

There!  Maybe by writing it down, I can now turn the bads :frown: into goods  :aok

  :headscratch: The bads are ALL :O SA related.   :x
I found the secret.   :banana:


Pardon the interruption... carry on....

you need to fly all the planes to know their strengths and weaknesses

drop the training wheels, and also stop turning in for the HO, you are too predictable in your lust for the kill.

i doubt that, especially since you are afraid of 1v1ing with me after i got you 10/10 in your rides and you cowardly refused to die in the remaining 109 times. And im far from being in the top 5%.
(i wanted to say something else too but im better keep it for myself. it was about the rats SA)

   Your Brain won't focus on the task at hand and you allow emotions to control you. Search your feelings you know it to be true.  :D

Fly other planes and get out of the trainer. You'll find very quickly how little you actually know.

Only then will you have a chance to improve.

this is why I check everyday to see if the name midway is available.  and if it is I will grab it and never let you have it.  only reason is to annoy you.

Heh Midway, it seems everytime I kill you you are typing.  I bet you could trim those unwarranted deaths down by forgetting to type unless you are in the tower :D
