After a short break, you may find you are even more effective.  You are already a great pilot Hotard.

I hope you come back after a break.  :salute

After off and on spurts over the last 10 years due to burn out, work and going back to school. I found just playing the game for what it is rather than pressing for country victories and being competitive is more enjoyable. Join the Merc Team and fly as you please, join back with your normal side a bit then move around again.

C ya Ho tard. It was always fun fighting you. I remember popping your Panther turret couple years ago with my M-8. You did not give up and bail but fought back with your pintle and won. 😁
That surprised me. I now use different tactics when I come across a Panther to avoid getting pinttled again  :D

After 20 years, it's time to move on, focusing on other interests.  To friend and foe alike I salute you all.

I have not been on in quite some time either. I know how you feel.

To you and yours.... stay safe.

Hotard didn’t say why.

Slaxer did, seemed more like a reason than whine however.
