Does this ever happen to you.

Why do you feel like you should be able to best a pony?  Any aircraft, properly flown to it's limits learned through experience, can be a formidable challenge.  I find it odd that you feel this way.

Its hard to explain really but its quite annoying winning 5v1s then dieing in a 1v1s. No idea what is happening here.

So, you've won 5 vs 1's when you were the 1 ?  I would truly like to see a film of that, strictly for education purposes of course.  Would you mind posting just one of your films where you did this?  I'm sure you must have a film of you winning a 5 vs. 1.  I'm quite sure that would be a saved film.

The issue is simple and explained by a simple fable:

A bull calf and his dad are waking up on a hill overlooking a small valley filled with cows.  The son wakes his dad up and says, "Dad, look!!  Let's run down the hill and hump a couple of those cows!!"  The father bull says, "son, let's walk down there and hump them all"

Patience son, patience.

Or baseball hitting analogies work:

DA =2-0, 3-0, 3-1, 0-0 counts - extremely aggressive mentality
MA=2-1, 2-2, 0-1, 3-2 counts - very aggressive mentality
MA multi con = 1-1, 1-2, 0-2 - aggressive mentality

MA develops SA
DA develops ACM.

IMO given a basic in game survival instinct.....

Increased SA skill reduces confidence to commit past point of no return
Increased ACM skill increases confidence to commit past point of no return
