I left in 2011 and came back 2022. Rusty as sin, like a noob. Now I know what a noob feels like. That scrubbed about 30 yrs of experience and knowledge out of my head, as I migrated from AW to AH when AW closed..
I retired a yr ago so really, I've only been back to nightly play for 1 yr. just the last 2 months I started getting some skills back.

I have not flown for awhile but I bet I can still part out my 38 with the best of them. Bring her back in with tree limbs in the prop. Wheels missing, stabilizers.... somewhere else.... etc.

Same here. Just returned after a 7 year absence. Can't hit a thing in a plane or gv. My bullets seem to pass right through enemy planes and tanks.  Took a whirble out last night. Got stuck in a bush. Couldn't get out. Still trying to memorize the keyboard and joystick functions. Tried to release a drop tank and bailed out instead by mistake. Oh the humanity!

I returned in June after a 6-year break, and after a few months, I've already reached my maximum level of incompetence again.  :grin:
