osker,
First of all.. ALL IS FAIR in LOVE AND WAR.
Second of all, some people play and dont care if the die or not. A good majority,in my opinion, play as if it was real or have the same idea I have.. I mean try to survive. My personnal goal is to complete as many mission as possible without dying, even if it is a routine patrol and I don't get a kill. I fly a P47 and I would due the same thing a stang would due.. ZOOM and BOOM. Hit and run tactics. Most people that fly the Stang know that it is NOT a turn and burn plane. Get it low and slow and its toast as is the P47.. but again its the pilot that counts. I have seen both Stang Pilots and Thunder Pilots low and slow and they walk away with a few kills and all in one piece. My Uncle served in the Pacific as a P39 pilot, had 4 air to air kills and 25 ground kills and one of the things that he will tell you is to use the planes Strengths and if your are gready and disobey the negatives.. your dead.
Third, don't give up. If a stang zooms you and booms you, get away if possible and find a fight elswere. If you have noticed, you don't see a lot of Stangs in the air as compared to F4Us and 109s and FW190s. Hell I rarely see a P38 anymore. Don't get flustered and pissed off. Just go elsewere in the arena.
Fourth, if you are playing AH to constantly bee in dog fights and people not run away.. your in the wrong game. AH players are more organzied then what I have seen, smarter pilots too. People not so willing to just fight and die..fight and die. I am glad the perk planes are coming, gets people to become more organized and fight like they would for real in WWII ..not going off half cocked. Anyway,, enough BS
Just don't give up, I have played a lot of WWII flight sims..online.. and AH in my mind is the most challanging, most agrivating due to the level of the pilots, and the most rewarding.
Stick around!!
