*sigh* Indeed. I was an RP-loving little scumbag back then, doin' whatever I could to keep in the fight. Don't worry, I'll be legitimate this time, I promise!
Full disclosure: I'm actually kinda happy I made you guys laugh, if only at me. I'm just hoping I'm not too infamous in the community these days.
In fact, lemme tell you how much I've learned since then:
1) Energy is love, energy is life. In certain fighters, this is your livelihood; in others, it's just another tool in your arsenal.
2) Lead your target.
3) Don't be an RPing squeaker.
4) Know the role of each aircraft. Americans move mud, Russians defend, Germans intercept bombers, Japanese are cannon fodder at worst, distractions at best.
5) Read the flow of battle before you go up. Know where you're needed instead of flying aimlessly.
6) Don't take off from a base that's under attack
7) Don't take drop tanks if you don't want to be outflown.
8) NEVER go for theatrics. Don't post anything like 'that one post'.
I think those are the most important things.
