First I up my P-51. I'm heading out to my squad mates who were out for a while already, and I see a lone F4U-1C about 6.0 in the other direction. I reverse and set up for a head on pass. I'm pretty stoked. I mean, first up for the night and I'm in a 1 v 1 with someone in a good plane. Anyway, I'm setting up for the merge, thinking of how I want to fight this guy, we're closing quick and 400 out I hear about one ping and then I'm back in the hangar. Guy must've shot me through the heart or something. So, in about 5 minutes of playing I'm already dead once.
Few minutes later after the now pair of F4U's clear datum, I re-up and meet up with my squad. We tag a flight of B-17's. I dump half a magazine into two of them, then 'something' shoots me when I'm clearing. Dunno what it was, but now I'm leaking oil everywhere and trailing a huge smoke trail. Start to RTB and get tagged again. Not another dot in the sky. 'Is stuff just falling off the plane?' I think. Checking my E6B and figuring out my best profile before I lose my engine....and I disco.
15 minutes in and I have a death and a disco.
Re-up my pony, head out, meet up with my squad that is RTB. One is dragging that F4U that shot me earlier. Nice, I'm thinking, revenge. I'm a good 5-10k above the fight, roll in and get about 450 indicated. The F4U has no idea I'm there, or else doesn't care. I've got this guy absolutely pegged, a can't miss shot, closing fast. I sort of lose him in the forest background but know he's in the pipper. Waiting, waiting...about 400 out now...can't miss...can't quite see him in the trees....and BAM I collide with him. This was the shot every pilot dreams of and I freaking run into the guy. Blood all over the canopy, spiral into the ground, back to the hangar.
30 minutes in now, and I have 2 deaths and one disco.
Re-up my pony, heading out, get jumped by a single F6F. My squad mates are inbound, but a ways away, so I have some one v one time. I'm slow already off the deck, so I chop throttle, dump all sorts of flap and get into a scissors with the F6F. Nice, I'm thinking, lets see how this goes. Two passes in and I'm getting angles on the guy. Setting up for a snapshot on the next pass and...disco.
It was one of those nights where I wished I haven't even turned the game on.

I'm pretty sure I've been towing around a banner that says, "Noob- come kill me" the last few nights.
oh, and by the way, F comcast.

I'm going to respond with the idea that you may be looking for a way to improve your "experience", rather than just gripe about it...
A- Chogs have very large guns. Unfortunately HO'ing is very common. I've learned to EXPECT the HO on every merge, and allow for it by seperating a little more on the merge. Horizontal or vertical, or both. Preferably merge below your opponent, coming nose up a bit, with him diving down at you a bit. Obviously there are more than a few ways to skin a cat though...
B- The bomber incident sounds like it could have been lag. The ramming into the back of the F4U sounds like connection problems too, unless you really just lost track of him in the trees.
I'd check my connection, and make sure you don't have any warping or lag issues. Check background processes, etc, to make sure something isn't screwing you up.
The disco issue also leads me to believe you have connection issues.
Just my guess though, I could be way off base...
