The more I die...
« on: December 03, 2002, 11:44:36 PM »
The more I get shot down by other players, the more I realise that nearly every time I had placed *myself* in their sights, either by engaging under bad conditions or not looking ahead to how the situation around me might change within a couple of minutes.

The funny thing is something so seemingly evident took me a couple of years playing online sims to figure out.

Alot of things are still a roll of the dice, but I think that from now on no matter *what* plane I or my opponent(s) are in, no matter *what* angle I get hit from, no matter *what* advantage/ disadvange may be apparent, I will consider it nobody's fault but my own when I am downed and simply use it as a learning point to make myself better.

I expect in the future my kill ratio will go down, but my k/d ratio will go up.
