Does anybody here know how to play this game?

Switch to Knight and all your problems will go away.
Knights never furball or lose focus.  Every single Knight participates in missions and is 100% competent.  We are also excellent comunicaters.

Hmmm. Must be an advanced case of low altitude sickness!

Hang!

I know what you mean!!  I logged on last night, flew one time and logged off!  Even though I had a great sortie, something was missing.  It was the something that had me flying for hours on end.  I am a much better AH pilot than I was before.  I can hold my own pretty well but there is something missing.

Furious, I do the same thing.  I will sit there in the tower for about 10-15 miinutes deciding what to do.  

I have already sat in the tower, looked at the roster, read the text buffer and then just logged off, without flying.  I do this more and more as time goes on.

It may be a squad thing.  As of now JG2 only has 3 active members and I do enjoy flying squad things!    So maybe that is it.

So Hang do ya need a break?  MAybe not from the game , but maybe from the way of flying.  Maybe try some crazy things.  Like a Hurricane low level ground attack.  Or Mossies.  Take JU88s on a low level sneak around to a enemy base way behind the lines.  The FDB are a crazy lot and most of them are insane enough to do something that may seem stupid!

Well that my thoughts of it.  For what it is worth!!

Rgr that.. been flying the Mossie alot... and playing with those rooooski and LW rides in the CT.

I went ahead and backed of the start thing last night in the MA.. and stalked the edges of the furballs with the pony. Was like clubbing baby seals. *sigh*

In the furballs themselves, frames dropped to about 6-8.. smoke and toatal numbers in the secotrs beyond what the server or the FE could handle.

So... back to stalkin the edge for awile..... but frankly; even 10 kill sorties in there just ain't half as much fun as knockin down a field with 10 guys that know their stuff.

Yer right. I need something new...

I'm thinkin about yankin the plugs.. almost 3 years here, I've had a great ride, enjoyed flying this sim, enjoyed the fights, the scenarios, the MA..  but nowadays, all I'm catchin is aggravation.  

Sounds like you got a couple issues Hang and its nothing that hasnt been discussed in a couple of other active threads:

1.  Gangbanging/mob mentality
2.  Newbies unfamiliarity of game

ALL OF THIS is attributable to the mass influx of ex-Air Warrior pilots when that game retired.   I think in the LONG RUN this will be good for AH as an additional customer base and set of ideas.  The problem is that most of them are still learning the vast differences in this game.  Its just going to take time.

I've been here just as long as you have Hang and I still remember vividly that first night online when AH went live beta.  I played for almost 2 years and took a long needed break when I began to feel like you are now.  8 months later and its refreshingly new again

Theres nothing wrong with taking a break once in a while.  Just as Ram ;D

Hmmm, got to hangs post a week or so late....but its funny how similiar his post and my thoughts are. Dont think I've flown a hop in a week and didn't even think about it yesterday...blew out of work early and just threw a saddle on one of my horses....normally I boot up for a hop or two 1st thing after I get home. Last couple weeks I've been working my horses a bit instead....bet they wish I was flying . not going anywhere....but definately riding out the server problems for now.
