My first time in the TA and the only time in the TA (for an hour tops.) I was cowardly shot from behind by a person who thought they were proving something. I got in a Lighting and shredded him to bits. Then, to mash salt in the wound, he knocked out an engine. I proceeded to use the ailerons and performed a few stunts that left the person puzzled. He backed of after that and I was then able to commence different manouvers. I'll bite back. I may be new to this game, but I'm not clueless.
If given permission, have fun. I went into the MA after an hour of getting used to the "feel" of the planes. I won't be going back to the TA, you only learn by trial and error. I'm the error stage right now, but give me time.
