He said he flew with Leviathn and has been gone for a few years, just returning recently.  Sounds authentic, but how can one really know for sure without asking a question only he would know the answer to? :headscratch:

Wrong.  Some of you don't get it.  There is real value and good advice in this thread to improve skills including the OP, imho.  You have to ignore some of the silly responses and look for the good information.  Many have found it... can you, with an open mind? :headscratch:

In the end, you can read and read all you want, but until you actually get out there and keep practicing on your SA, your never going to be "awsome".

I wish I could. :frown:   Tried, but my eyes weren't good enough at the time. :cry  Close though.

At least we have virtual piloting now where awesome is also achievable.  :aok

I have to hand it to you Midway, Whoever you are?  You sir, are the greatest troll of all time.   :salute
The enormous hauls you bring in for such obvious bait is astonishing.  Now I fell for it too.
For some reason every time you start a thread, I think of this:



"Fill your cravings at Midway's Circus of Values!"

 To every man upon this earth, death cometh soon or late.
 And how can man die better, than facing fearful odds.
 For the ashes of his fathers and the temples of his Gods."

am not a troll!  Trolls are ugly and talk about highly polarized off topic things in mean ways:

I sincerely want to be an awesome pilot in Aces High, the sooner the better.  :angel:  I practice constantly, during most of my free time, ... check my stats, thousands of sorties per tour for almost two years.  I sincerely want and listen to help from some of the best pilots in Aces High.

Just look with an open mind and you'll see.  I am getting better and better, slowly. :joystick: and understand the learning curve is very hard, but am making progress and as my OP shows, have more to overcome.  Have been at it only close to two years now.  Some of the best pilots have been here or AW or similar for 10+ years.  Working hard to speed it up to take less calendar time, and wish I would have started 10 years ago.

There!  Got that off my chest.  Please continue on topic now...

 :salute

Doubt age has much to do with it unless you're very young or very old.  You have to focus on what you want to make progress, can't be satisfied with just what you have. :)

With each year, age adds wisdom to the skills. :old:

Never cared for k/d.  I would always auger and re-up instead of flying back to base or would up wantonly from capped fields.  Only stat I ever truly looked at was kills per hour.

But yeah this game has become bitter as hell.  Logged in today with my old handle only to face a wave of shade accusations, even from some people who were pretty respectable back in the day. 

Nickelodeon indeed.

That actually sounds good for me.  Would give me a lot more fight time to do that if there are no more bad guys to encounter on the trip home.  I actually waste a lot of time flying home with half a wing and no chance of another fight.  Landing is easy, most of the time, but consumes too much time.

I don't really care about landing wtg's or even k/d as much as improving skills to handle tough situations -- and I up from capped fields every day, get grief for it but it's fun and hard to win.  I have a reputation of stupidity for it, among other things.  :D

Good idea.  Will do this for a while. :aok

There are a lot of good people in game.  You have to ignore the rest or have fun with them.  At least I do, when they get all bent out of shape about something.  Occupies the time on climb out or the trip home.
:devil

If I auger once all cons are down, I'd spend less time chatting.   Now if we only had air spawns to avoid the long climb out and time looking for a fight.

Thank you!  Hope to see you in game for a good fight.  Won't accuse you of shading, never heard of you anyway but like your way of thinking.  :salute


PS: Now that I think about it, you're not the guy that PM'd me with "Dude", are you? :lol   What did I pm back?
