Never ever ever ever ever get in Violators plane.  It smells like vaseline and shame!

Zoney's plane smells of sausage and burnt toast! :old:

Yeah if you fly with us... Expect strange things to happen, Pine.

And especially expect strange things to be heard or said.

Hi Pine,

Saw you working with Mar last night.  If you see any of us trainers on and we're not occupied, feel free to ask for help.  Looks like Mar was helping you just fine though :aok

Aces High Trainers are your best bet for reducing the learning curve in this game.

I read a lot about becoming better. I'd watch videos of guys getting 4 kills in their 190Ds and being so enthused they could do it one sortie. I learned about merges, SA, ACM, and energy. It wasn't till I started dueling a few of the veterens that I really started to develop my game. I tried to learn all the planes and fight and die as much as I could. It really takes a lot of practice to learn the game and understand combat situations, even after 9 years of playing.

+1 to this.  I am by no means uber, but the single best investment in my time (other than learning basic acm) was getting into the DA with a veteran and having a fight, while the two of us were talking.  Me asking questions, the opponent giving tips and asking things like "ok, what were you thinking right there and why."

In my opinion, there is no better form of concentrated learning than locking horns in the DA with a helpful opponent who is willing to teach you.

+1 You can learn a lot by losing if you can detach yourself from the emotional sting.
