So I think a LOT of the "new" players coming in are looking for more "arcade", less realism and easy-mode flying. If they don't become an Ace on their first flight....they quit.
I know that I was a bomber boy only for about 3-4 months when I first started the game because since everyone has been playing the game so long, I'd get smoked again and again and again when trying to dogfight. Only now I'm getting okay at it, with like a 1:2 K:D ratio.
If there was more noob friendly nights and coaching and such, that'd be cool. I remember in Aces High 2 there was just a pure furball server meant for noobs (I think).
Anyways, Oh Man I havent posted on a old school forum for a while.
