Thousands of sorties per tour :huh for almost two years. :bhead
I can down probably 95% of players 1 on 1 with skills learned so far, that is good. :aok
I film my sorties to put myself in Bruv's or Fester's seat and see what they do, that is good. :aok
but....
When I get target fixated and start turning too much with other bad guys in range, that is bad. :frown:
When I don't know aeroplanes well enough to play to their weakness vs my aeroplane's strength, that is bad. :frown:
When I get below several bad guys and don't watch them closely, that is bad. :frown:
When I try to run horizontally with higher E state bad guys behind or above me, that is bad. :frown:
When I pay too much attention to the crack 200 channel, that is bad. :frown:
When I do not have close friendlies to clear my six, on occasion, that is bad. :frown:
When I spend too much time in the bad guy's ack, that is bad. :frown:
:bhead
There! Maybe by writing it down, I can now turn the bads :frown: into goods :aok
:headscratch: The bads are ALL :O SA related. :x
I found the secret. :banana:
Pardon the interruption... carry on....

you need to fly all the planes to know their strengths and weaknesses
drop the training wheels, and also stop turning in for the HO, you are too predictable in your lust for the kill.
-

i doubt that, especially since you are afraid of 1v1ing with me after i got you 10/10 in your rides and you cowardly refused to die in the remaining 109 times. And im far from being in the top 5%.
(i wanted to say something else too but im better keep it for myself. it was about the rats SA)
-
Try to embrace realism.

A pilot with good SA does better in the MA then a pilot who has good ACM.....IMO

Fly other planes and get out of the trainer. You'll find very quickly how little you actually know.
Only then will you have a chance to improve.

this is why I check everyday to see if the name midway is available. and if it is I will grab it and never let you have it. only reason is to annoy you.

Heh Midway, it seems everytime I kill you you are typing. I bet you could trim those unwarranted deaths down by forgetting to type unless you are in the tower :D

Then how did I get this far? Why do I spend time in the TA? Why do I film and watch sorties from yours, Bruv's and other great pilot's perspectives? Why have I read and continue to read hundreds of pages on how to get better? Why do I spend an entire afternoon fighting Fester or pervert and losing over and over again?
The interwebz are ripe for drawing incorrect conclusions. I forgive you. :old:
Nuff posting! Time to :joystick:

not supposed to feed the trolls...
but midway shooting you down is like clubbing a baby seal. you can use acm fine but you are the equivelant of texting while driving road kill half the time.
any time I see a spit8 flying level and not looking around there is 95% chance that if ch200 is midway related i will geta free spit8 kill and the pilot will complain about a typing kill...
my favorite instance is when you were actively hunting me on ch200 talking about how you were going to be lurking at 20k to bounce me and generally having diherea of the mouth on ch200... your spit8 didnt even move when a stream bullets went through your airplane from below.
-
diherea of the mouth on ch200...
What more needs to be said?
-
Nuke will teach you bad habbit's dont do it midway!

hey diherea of the mouth, stay off 200 and you shall improve your ways.
-
this thread if full of good advices. Yet tonight when I log on you will be in your usual spit8, trying the impossible front quarter shot then reversals in defensive situations, while typing on 200.
-
If you were really ready for the answer, you wouldn't need to ask the question.
-
stay out of the spits if you want to kick the ch200 habbit... find a ride that is hard to win fights in. that will take your entire concentration like the ww1 crates did the other day...
when we were fighting in the ww1 arena you were completely occupied by trying to fly quirky ww1 crates from the dawn of aviation with all their handling problems and not one bit of brain power was used for ch1/ch200 trolling even when the ww1 arena became a furball.
on that day the fight was the thing and every fight you flew better every mistake I explained you made you made less often.

The FAIL is strong with this one.

I'm not sure you seek to be an awesome pilot as much as you seek notoriety, Midway. While the former eludes you, the latter you have achieved in abundance. Perhaps, having obtained what you truly desire, you're finding it difficult to accomplish what you claim to want.

+1 spot on assessment, also you claim to be able to down 95% of the players which i highly doubt, your only claim to fame is you're useless banter on 200 and now the BBS. Maybe someday you'll grow up but it's unlikely that day will come soon. The great pilots never seeks acceptance from the community, the community accepts them from how they carry themselves and without the look at me threads, it applies both in game and on the BBS, it's called Class.

Midway you must realize that what you smoke gives you dain bramage :neener: :neener:

To a fighter pilot hero, I must respond. Thank you for your words of wisdom. :salute
The truth is, although interwebz appearances may lead to false other conclusions, I only seek to be a highly skilled pilot for the challenge and pride of the accomplishment and to occupy my time with something much more challenging than watching golf or football or watching grass grow, etc. :angel:
I certainly do not seek notoriety, but only the occasional help from those of strong character and awesome skill and a good fight from many others. I do enjoy truth and setting the record straight, ergo my desire to respond to insinuations, false information, and other nonsense... causing those whom I respond to often much grief. :devil
Do I have an occasional moment(s) of weakness? Yes... but I do want to be a man of peace (thru strength -- of character) and of awesome fighter pilot skills. One day I hope to achieve the skills and character strength of true FPHs. Until then I have to fight and learn to get there, an obviously long and difficult path.
One day soon.... hopefully...

You are missing my point, you are asking for advice and will never follow it.
Therefore you are doomed to failure and will continue to suck, while giving a bad image to the people that actually meant their sound advice.
No insinuation there, I think its pretty direct. I'm disappointed in your behaviour.

Truth is truth and can not be denied. :old:
And yet you continue to deny the truth.
Don't you recall posting a thread almost exactly like this last year? The responses were largely the same: "Fly different aircraft. Stay off 200. Get out of your comfort zone. Change what you are doing."
The "reality" (that you clearly fail to see) is that you haven't done any of this.
I even made some specific suggestions, and followed up with you few days later. You told me you tried for one or two sorties, but then gave up. You even tried not HO-ing for a while, after stating that you would change that tactic, but instead you changed your name so you could "HO without shame". These actions don't represent "moments of weakness", Midway. They represent on-going weakness with moments of good intentions (just claims of good intentions, really). This is why the the community largely scoffs at a post like this from you.
What really seems to be holding you back is your lack of resolve (call it "strength of character") to stick with trying something different. Only by trying something new will you reach the point of learning and improving. In this sense you have to risk some failure in order to achieve real success.
Until your actions equate to your intentions, nothing will change.
I truly wish this would sink in for you, but it's been said to you literally a hundred times before. My prediction is there will just be another post like this one again next year (provided you haven't burned out by then) to which nobody should reply, but instead just link to this thread.
Best of luck anyway.

I am in the Spitfire, although do fly other aeroplanes on occasion (check my stats), primarily because my bestest FPH said it is good, and he knows what is good, and I am focusing on shooting and SA more than anything else right now. SA of cons around me is holding me back the most and getting me shot down the most. As the OP said, I see the secret and will focus on it more, to the extent I can.
I don't do everything everyone says or what the majority say, that would be sillier than my occasional silliness.
Instead I do what I believe to be right after listening to many but weighting the best pilots (FPHs) more heavily.
I thank you all for the various responses and filter out the best information, imho, for the strongest consideration.
Nuff said. :cheers:

Noir,
At least in the real world I make a living fom the content of my walls of text. The denizins of this mad house make an interesting narrow slice social melting pot. At least "PA"(pathalogical altruism) is not a problem with internet game players. Nor thankfully here is "PN"(pathalogical narcasissm) from what I've seen. Just normal healthy irritating narcacism.
Who would stop trying if no one responded. You gents just like him too much not to play, along with it passes the time of day. You might change to calling him "who" instead of Midway and some of the steam would leave his roll.
"Who" give these guys a break.........even Levi likes you if he has bothered to post. I hope all of this isn't becasue of idle hands while on the government git. That can be really boring and lonely.

It is not. :angel:
I thank you for your well developed response, but find it tough to ignore wrongs that need righting. :old:
-

I don't dislike Midway. I think he really enjoys drawing attention to himself though, and not necessarily in a healthy way. Think about the players he considers "heroes." None of them act like he does, nor did they ever act that way. I can't think of any that did.
They all have something in common though - they are all very competitive, driven, and self-motivated. The rest follows from that.
-
I too like to point out "wrongs that need righting".
Like this:
I can down probably 95% of players 1 on 1 with skills learned so far, that is good. :aok
A totally false boast. You are clearly trolling again with this one. You really think you're in the top 5% of pilots in AH?

In my Spitfire, I believe it to be true, perhaps incorrectly. Not intended as a boast. :headscratch:
Just an opinion/approximation based on thousands of 1 on 1 encounters in the MA. :angel:
-
The spitfire was there at the beginning of the war and there at the end <S>
-
LOL I consider myself to be pretty good but I wouldn't even say I am in the top 5%, and Midway has trouble beating me Spit vs Mustang. Midway..you are pretty decent in the spit, but until you get out of that thing and start pushing your limits, youll always be stuck at your current level. Fly something else for a tour....just give it a try. NO spits for a month. I bet you'll learn a lot.

Did already about 18 months ago... F4Us... 2nd most kills in the F4U/1D one tour. I can adapt to the weaknesses, compared to the mighty Spitfire, of other fighters, but want to solve my awareness problem of bad guys around me first.
BigR is in the top 1% of active pony pilots, imho. :old:
-

He won't. He won't leave the Spitfire because it will force him to not to rely on the aircraft to do his fighting for him. As far as skill goes, his actual skill level is probably about average with a basic understanding of ACM and as a result relies on the Spitfire to do most of the work to make up his shortcoming in his ACM abilities. He won't leave the Spitfire because he'd have to rely on his own skill and not the plane.
ack-ack

Midway has far more stick time than me.
Midway lost 10/10 in 1v1.
Im anything but not good, could list at least 30 pilots who could get me 9-10/10.
I got a squad and a couple "friends". If he has any, rise your hands.
Im still a noone.
What are you talking about?
-
Just an opinion/approximation based on thousands of 1 on 1 encounters in the MA. :angel:
So, just to clarify: Your opinion is that you'd beat 19 out of 20 pilots in the MA in a Spitfire?

Maybe I should have said 10%... Regardless, am not too worried when encountering someone 1v1 in the MA in my Spitfire. Am far more worried about being picked or ganged. That is the SA problem I will solve -- in due time.
Debrody, previous winner of KOTH, is in the top 5% of active MA pilots, imho. :old:
That 10/10 was many months ago. :old:
-
That 10/10 happened when you could beat my 109 in a spit. As far as i can remember, from this March, my 109 survived every encounter against your spit8 and you visited the tower every time.
Koth doesnt matter, thats usually just a friendly fun game. Im faaar from the top 5%. Still, could repeat that 10/10 anytime, after any amount of beer. Take a try if you dare, after i return, ill be ready in 3 days.
Know your place, trollio.
-
why am i not an awesome pilot yet?
Your E management is terrible, its easy to gain angles on you.
You're a one trick pony midway. You yank your plane around as hard as you can and then spray long range to try to get a luck shot.
-
So, just to clarify: Your opinion is that you'd beat 19 out of 20 pilots in the MA in a Spitfire?
When in my Spifire, and a bad guy comes along, alone, in whatever random aeroplane... I believe I will win the encounter roughly 95% of the time, maybe 90%. The awesomeness of the mighty Spitfire certainly helping me.
Yes, that's my estimate. :headscratch:
But that is not important now.... SA and corresponding multiple bad guy's E states are important now. :old:
-
I am Midways Friend :)

Do you think he gets up in the morning and plans this whole charade out, or just makes it up as he goes along?

When in my Spifire, and a bad guy comes along, alone, in whatever random aeroplane... I believe I will win the encounter roughly 95% of the time, maybe 90%.
That's interesting. When I'm in my Nakajima, and a bad guy comes along, alone, in whatever random aeroplane... I don't think about winning or losing at all.

previous winner of KOTH, is in the top 5% of active MA pilots:
I might have read this wrong but are you saying that people with a KOTH win are in the top 5% of all pilots?
If so, you are not right. Many good sticks do not like KOTH and therefore do not participate.

Agreed. All I am saying is Debroby is a very good pilot, KOTH winning being one example, and I believe him to be in the top 5%. Landing 10 MA victories in a G6 without rearms knowing he fought for them being another example plus my experience with him. But that is just my opinion.
His SA and my ability to easily pick him needing work though. Hey, we have something in common. :banana:
-
Flew king of the hill once, don't determine it to be a measure of skill.
Survive in FSO and land countless victories goes a long way, Main arena you deal with a handful of cons at a time, FSO you can deal with dozens at a time.
When you some how manage to live through waves of 109s, 110s, 190s and come out with 5 kills, then you are ok in my book.

Tugg Speedman: What do you mean?
Kirk Lazarus: Check it out. Dustin Hoffman, 'Rain Man,' look retarded, act retarded, not retarded. Counted toothpicks, cheated cards. Autistic, sho'. Not retarded. You know Tom Hanks, 'Forrest Gump.' Slow, yes. Retarded, maybe. Braces on his legs. But he charmed the pants off Nixon and won a ping-pong competition. That ain't retarded. Peter Sellers, "Being There." Infantile, yes. Retarded, no. You went full retard, man. Never go full retard. You don't buy that? Ask Sean Penn, 2001, "I Am Sam." Remember? Went full retard, went home empty handed...

Fly other planes and get out of the trainer. You'll find very quickly how little you actually know.

what shuff said
-
Well I'm not sure what that means, and I have thought about it a lot.
Having suffiicient skill to overcome an opponent's level of skill, thereby verifying said level of skill or thereby learning from failure if said opponent bettered you. Doing this over and over to rule out luck and thereby to continue said confirmation or learnings. :joystick:
Learning, building skill, and working to win continually against the best leads to growth (vs decline) and happiness (vs disappointment) and satisfaction/completion (vs the empty feeling of hollow victories) as well as pride of fulfilling one's potential. :)
Winning is good. :old:

here is your real flying problem midway.
what seperates you from those you try to emulate is none of them would ever degrade themselves in the manner you do. they will make fools out of themselves a plenty but they are second best to no one.
see every one of the best players in this game thinks they are the best player in the game regardless of who else is playing. that may be stereotypical fighter pilot mentality but thats what the real dangerous players all have in common.
the trouble you are having is you are wanting virtual alpha flying mentality while behaving like what could only be described as a virtual power bottom? excuse the metaphor but nothing else describes midway as well with his FPH man crushes.

Midway,
All your answers, and more than one lesson can be learned from this simple 10 post thread from yesterday.
http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/index.php/topic,336020.0.html
This is what you want to aspire to achieve.
A great pilot yes...but look what others (other than the OP) had to say about him.
A great Character.
You may also note...the said OP...is no longer welcome here...

I've fed this troll way more than i should but it is mildly amusing clubbing baby seals.
you want to defend your FPH mentality and think its normal very well.
you want to kill more and be killed less all the while killing more often? ok but how would you quantify this?
you say you win 95% of the time 1v1? lets start with this. the MA is almost never 1v1. DA 1v1's the general word is you lose 10/10 vs anyone that actually duels regularly even when flying spits.
now lets talk statistics. they dont mean anything but can indicate certain patterns if you know how to read them.
who stats... lol
Kills per Death + 1... what does it mean? statistically you will win a main arena engagement 40% of the time.
0.82
Kills per Sortie... 70% of your sorties result in a victory. 30% do not.
0.71
Kills per Hour of Flight. self explanatory. true furballers that prefer tower teleport to rtb travel times can wrack up two to three times this amount
7.27
Kills Hit Percentage 8-10% is typical for wing mounted shoot at every opportunity even headon sprayers that don't mind a lot of wasted ammo on long range and low probability hit shots.
6.66
if you want to up from capped fields and be picked whle hoping for sucker shots on the overshoot or using "spit E" to turn the tables I think you have got about as good as your ability will let you get. you havent really delved into wingman tactics and flying in a capacity that is not described as lonewolf.
nothing wrong with that though. I like to lonewolf often but i like flying with squaddies too.

8-10% Hit % is rare in the MA. Less than 9% of all players had 8% or more last tour. It's certainly nothing a 'headon sprayer' can hope for.
-
i'd love to see anyone who can win more duels then they lose, either you are extremely gifted or not.
In reality 1:2 is where I stand, I lose more then I win then again I know my place.

I can do better. There are too many bad shots in there - still. :bhead
-
for midway I think score is a good objective
-
Spend a tour flying the K4. Problem solved.
If you want a wingman let me know.

the meaning of that was drex types that take the insane shots and connect for the kill while using a lot of ammo and not caring about hit% in somthing like a p47 with rain of bullets generally sit around 8% and no one would ever want to be in their gunsight. its one of the limiting factors of this stat. somthing that logged hits per trigger pull or kills per trigger pull would be a clearer picture of who is a crack shot. like any stat it just quantifies somthing that is subjective.

I did a couple of hours of dueling with midway last week. He's got alot of raw skills, probably better than many in this thread after only a year or so.
They were good fun and interesting fights too.
-

Thank you, SunsFan... but I would much rather fight you than fly with you, nothing against you, I think you're awesome. I will think about doing a tour exclusively in the k4. It is a fun areoplane. :rock

I still don't think poor midway understands the value of fighting in the weak planes or why so many good players use them. load up an american ride with 100% fuel max ammo and go try to get kills.
some athletes run with weight belts etc. they train and practice in the most difficult conditions.
if you chose the spit because you love spits (everyone knows you swallow) thats one thing. but you chose it because its the easiest plane to fly.
if you ever get brave enough to fly the underpowered slow weak gunned poor turning planes you would gain more "skill" SA and general ability than you ever will clinging to a plane you use as a crutch for bad SA and predictable ACM.

:O :huh
I forgive you again, Fester... but you are pushing the limits. :old:
Future potential FPHs must have strength of character. :old:
-
but if you still don't belive this go look up your FPH's stats from years and years ago. you would be shocked to find they might not fly such a limited amount of planes. that they might actually be a E fighter that often flies a spit and uses SA to determine when turn and burn can be done without being overwhelmed by enemy aircraft.
your FPH does not allow the enemy to dictate the terms of the fight. they either enter a fight vs an overwhelming number of enemies from a superior position using wingman tactics or they simply attack a base together and start a fight and rtb once the E and positional advantage are lost.
i would mention staying on the survivable side of a sustained furball but those are so rare that I don't know if they still exist.
your fph is an E fighter and a flight leader that choses their acm based on the situation and sometimes flies a spit.
you are a turn and burn spit pilot with limited SA and acm that is based around fighting on the enemies terms and hoping to not get picked while fixated and praying the FPH you are stalking makes a mistake.

I have made it clear that I find your stalking of me is unwelcomed. I killed you repeatedly for an entire afternoon in the ww1 arena just to let you get the stalker tendancy out of your system and to be honest I did enjoy trying to teach you what mistakes you were making. you were so occupied with learning a new airplane you were unable to spew garbage on the chat channel the entire afternoon.
if you really want to be the best then stop the FPH act. its boring.
no one at the top of the game thinks for one second that anyone else can kill them in a fair fight. and you will never ever see anyone that has the ability to cut down enemy cartoon airplanes spew the hero worship nonsense that you spew everywhere.
shut up and fly. no one wants you stalking them or spewing FPH nonsense about them. it annoys the hell out of everyone you do it to.
I met a different midway in the ww1 arena. they flew with tenacity and they forgot about their "skyRockesque" persona that they work so hard to cultivate when spitflying in the MA. they shut up and flew.
drop the FPH act and if you have questions send them to the training forums and make them specific.
youve been playing 2 yrs? maybe in 5 more you will have all the tricks up your sleave that dweebs that have been playing for a decade know. you might even grow out of your spitcrutch and challenge yourself by flying more difficult airplanes. or you will burn out in 6 months and never be heard from again.
the ww1 arena midway I met would be missed. this FPH troll or whatever it is you are doing for publicity and spectacle notoriety will not be missed.

Ok Fester... your mistaken view of my stalking needs a full response.
If you are the enemy and you shoot me down and are a good pilot, I will reup and look to find you and see if I can down you. I will work to down any good pilot as often as I can to learn from the fight. I too am hunted by the other side in the MA often and have no issue with it.
If you recall you accused me of having a second account to stalk you after I found you by your base and chased your running 109, leading to an eventual victory. You insisted that I found you by nefarious means and were mad I ended your streak. You even told everyone on 200 that you sent film to HTC to prove your theory.
Yet your accusations were wrong and I told you so. I do not have a second active account. I found you only because you had just shot me down and I knew where you were. I told you this several times but you didn't believe me. You went on and on on 200 about calling me a shade and having a second active account used to find you. The 200 log will show this. You forgot you had shot me down previously and made up all sorts of wrong accusations and publicly informed everyone on 200. You still have not apologized for the false accusations.
You then picked me over and over in your 262 which I enjoyed because it pushes my SA. I love fighting good pilots. I will look for you and work to down you just like any other good pilot. You can call it stalking, but if you are the enemy and you are good, expect me to work to down you.
I can forgive your paranoia because you forgot a key piece of information. I also forgive you for not believing me after I told you how I found you. I hope you'll apologize for all the resulting false accusations. You can do that privately, but given your public accusations, it needed a public response.
I do have heros I look up to and hope to and do learn from. Bruce Lee and Chuck Yeager, among many others, were and still are some of my heros Many people have them in life, but not all. It is not worship, it is admiration and respect for great skill. You are not one of them -- yet, but I do respect your awesome skill.
The crude put downs and false accusations should go though.
:salute Fester.

Gotta wonder about a guy who claims he can beat 95% of the arena 1v1 <as if that isn't rare> who still claims he's not an awesome
pilot. Of course I also wonder how he manages to get airborne with that enormous air inlet under his nose open all the time :D

My SA and lack of knowledge of other aeroplanes are holding me back... and likely many others pilots as well. I will be very good, one day, but it takes much dedication and learning from the best.
You also need to remember I fly the Spitfire MK VIII which gives me an advantage over many random aeroplanes I run into in the MA, but not all. :cheers:

They all have something in common though - they are all very competitive, driven, and self-motivated. The rest follows from that.

I've got ya on my ignore list Midway, but thought I would add this.
I checked and we've fought 6 times. It was tour 146. I got you three and you got me three. I was in a 38G and you in your Spitfire VIII.
I flew 14 hours that month. You flew 4 days, 8 and 1/2 hours that month. Think about that. With that kind of time in you should mop the floor with anyone in the arena.
Lets be honest. If you couldn't kick my tail all over the arena in a Spit VIII with that many hours of flying time to my 14 hours in a 38G, it might be you just won't ever get there.

so midway, to sum up, you want to progress more, by doing exactly the same thing you've been doing for 2 years, and which proved to be inefficient? The most funny thing is that you even are asking advice, without any intention of following it :rofl

But I am making progress, by doing different things. Nrshida will tell you the difference between when he first helped me in the DA and now. Pervert pointed out that I was the only pilot smart enough to extend and enter my fight with The Few co-E... So to say I am not making progress is understating the truth. I can/should however make more progress faster which is a reason for my OP. :headscratch:

the answer your question actually lays within the question/s and bollocks ..... the amount of time you spend thinking up the troll both here and on 200 detracts from time spent better on SA to be the awesome pilot you wish to be..... in essence... if you spent as much time concentrating on your SA/ACM/intuitive motions as you do trolling and one upping on 200 and here, I'm sure you would notice a huge improvement and possibly have bruv wiping your butt as you do his... have you noticed an improvement whilst not bantering on 200?

Midway, Midway, Midway, you are a most difficult patient. You aren't progressing, you are beginning to stagnate already(!) and it's obvious why.
You essentially do two things in parallel (at a glance):-
Your learning methodology is that of a juvenile Crow, who is elated to watch the adult extract a grub with a stick, but you don't yet understand how or why it works so you try over and over through unwavering repetition thinking you just need to try harder. You are gathering leaves off a tree with the concept of building your own tree but missing the core essential features all the time.
Then there's your, well I hesitate to call it ego, but it's something like that, competitiveness or insecurity are better words perhaps? You seek out 'better' pilots so you can defeat them once or twice regardless of circumstance and then immediately dismiss them. You'd even do this with Bruv if you could out match him. This approach is unique to you, since you do not factor in the amount of times they have defeated you before or since. No one else does this here, only you. You're like a British army soldier who throws a cocked STEN gun through a window to clear a room and then turns to his mate and says: 'nice shot eh?'.
As part 1 increasingly returns diminishing results, you do part 2 more and more intensely (as your recent BBS activity implies). It's as if you constantly have to give evidence internally and externally to assert to yourself that you are 'good'.
This obstructs your development even if you do these two things slightly and now you seem to do these things a lot! You've split yourself in two and are fighting on two fronts. Unwise.
Sorry if these comments hurt you but I know how important this game is to you and you are now on a path which, with every step, takes you farther from your destination.

The former, I think, because now I'm confused. :headscratch:

Midway this is my first and last response to this. I freely admit you have beaten me and usually do beat me when we fight, not because you are a better pilot. Usually we fight with you in yours spit 8 and me in a variant of the 38. I will also admit the two times we fought spit8 to spit8 you won.
I believe I would beat you in just about any other configuration. Not because I am a top stick, I am far from that, but because you have so completely limited yourself. You say you idolize Bruv and his prowess in the spit; you fail to realize he is just as good in a jug, 109, pony, niki, typhoon or any other plane. It is the same with Fester. It does not matter what they are flying, if they are in the area, they are a threat.
Fester in a stuka would get more attention than you in your spit. You are limited by yourself. And though this is going to fall on def ears, you want to be someone's FPH, branch out learn something new.

Very interesting and I certainly have not thought along those lines. It's definitely worth considering, but before I make any serious changes I will need absolute clear proof of your theory. If, in fact, I see my progress deteriorate materially, which I have not yet seen, I will act on your very wise words.
For now, I still see and feel progress each tour. My original post identifying another significant opportunity to progress to the next level. :aok
Nrshida, I believe you are one of the nicest and sincerest pilots I have exchanged thoughts with and very much appreciate the care and effort you employ in helping others, even people like me whom some might consider a difficult learner. However, I can not go on theories that have not proven themselves - yet. I will keep it very much in mind though.
Thank you for helping me see the light you are attempting to shine through the interwebz. I am not hurt at all, only grateful. :salute :rock
-
theories? Its obvious you are stagnating. You just don't want to see it.

Midway this is my first and last response to this. I freely admit you have beaten me and usually do beat me when we fight, not because you are a better pilot. Usually we fight with you in yours spit 8 and me in a variant of the 38. I will also admit the two times we fought spit8 to spit8 you won.
I believe I would beat you in just about any other configuration. Not because I am a top stick, I am far from that, but because you have so completely limited yourself. You say you idolize Bruv and his prowess in the spit; you fail to realize he is just as good in a jug, 109, pony, niki, typhoon or any other plane. It is the same with Fester. It does not matter what they are flying, if they are in the area, they are a threat.
Fester in a stuka would get more attention than you in your spit. You are limited by yourself. And though this is going to fall on def ears, you want to be someone's FPH, branch out learn something new.
Thank you, Tom... another very nice pilot. Three corrections though... I don't idolize Bruv, only admire and respect his and similar pilot's awesome proven skill. Idolize would take it a step beyond truth.
I do realize his awesomeness in all variety of aeroplanes
Also, my ears are not deaf... I heard every word and understand what you're saying. Thank you. :salute :rock
-
theories? Its obvious you are stagnating. You just don't want to see it.
Right now I don't see myself heading further and further from my destination, as Nrshida postulates. Therefore it is an unproven, but interesting theory. At least I understand now what he was saying. :)
This thread has become quite an introspection... hopefully it benefits others, at least in a small way, as much as it helps me. That was the main intent of the original post. :angel:

It's much more than ch 200. With the help of some top gunners landing 10 victories in a Spitfire requiring my ch 200 and BBS silence for 3 days at a time, per previous agreement, as well as HTC's 8 day mute a couple of times, I do notice a slight improvemt in my flying, but nowhere near the awesomeness of regularly landing 8+ victory sorties.
I think the secret is in all of the items listed in my original post and I intend to find out over the next several tours.
However, there is no denying...
Ch 200 crack is bad, real bad. :old:
There is value though to 200, on occasion. Kind of like an occasional glass of wine is reported to improve health, but a gallon a day, just the opposite. :uhoh

With so much time invested in this game over the past 18+ months, how and why are you not better yet? I'd wager that you have more time in game than anybody else over the course of several years.
Perhaps you've just hit a plateau, and you're not going to attain the skill levels of those you admire so much. Not every athlete goes pro...
It also doesn't help that you're quite unfamiliar with how the majority of the planeset handles. A lot of fighting involves knowing what the other guy can't do, or at least has trouble doing. You're mainly in a Spit 8, which allows so much forgiveness, that you can get away with less than optimal ACM and still get kills.
You really want to get better? Buy a book on ACM and learn some basic stuff. Low and high yo-yo's instead of flat turns. Lead turns into a merge instead of trying for HO or front quarter shots, giving up angles. The Spit 8 allows you to do the flat turns and HOs and get away with it. Other planes aren't such a crutch.
I'll say the most improved thing I've seen in your time is that you stopped flying with the throttle at 100%.

Only on occasion, to learn a bit about other aeroplanes. Getting fully out of the Spitfire was not in his post and I intend to stay in it mostly, for now -- until I solve many of the problems listed in my original post.

I think the Spit is an awesome plane. Heck, it would be one of the planes I'd own if I ever had the money to do so. There are a lot of really good players who enjoy the Spit as well. They could easily move into something else, but it's an enjoyable plane to fly in the game.
One thing that a lot of folks have often overlooked throughout the years is that real ACMs do work. Sure, there's the cartoon-y stuff that we get to do because we have no real fear of getting hurt or dying, but learning how to gain angles through ACMs and not just yank-and-bank is what makes people better and tougher opponents.
-
How cool is it that a learning pilot can ask a sincere question, offer a hypothesis, and get dozens of sincere answers from a community of skilled on the field real and virtual pilots? Very cool! :aok
All you have to do is ask and learn to ignore the various arrows, rocks, insults, put downs, and beer cans thrown at you from the nosebleed section. Ducking, deflecting, and returning said items are important to not get hit though. Not too difficult to do. :)

it's not your flying, but your attitude. you fly to annoy others instead of to kill. have flown many times against you and as soon as you take off you go straight to fight instead of just pulling away and perhaps get a little altitude. I remember many times when you got killed 4 or 5 times in a row because you kept on insisting on climbing to 7 or 8k just shooting at higher planes trying to score some hit points. you became easy kill at that point. if you were to tulips your situation every time instead of just trying to shoot at something then perhaps it would make you a better pilot. but not like you are gonna change anyway.
btw if it was up to me I would still fly the spit8. there's no dweeb planes, only dorks who think they are so good they dont think they should be killed by "lesser" planes.

the key to regularly landing big numbers in spits like your heros is to train and fly with wingmen. we dont get paid to fly AH so wingmen are people you get on with and dont mind spending time flying with, usually squaddies.
I suppose there might be someone out there amongst the 1000s of AH players that can tolerate your incessant spamming, trolling, stalking and incedibly irritating attitude. If you can find one of them you stand a chance. I wont be putting any money on it though.

Relying on a wingman is, I think, an easier way out. I intend to do this on my own with the occasional help from nearby friendlies. Others have, I intend to figure it out. Thank you though. :salute

Then you're doing it wrong. Flying with a wingman requires a totally different set of skills, and those skills only improve your overall capabilities. I have no doubt that Fester wouldn't be what he is today without having winged with Kappa (and others) for years, and I would be half the pilot I was without the experience and enjoyment of winging with folks like Kitty, NathBDP, and Drex.
The best part is that you and your wingman can beat the crap out of each other 1v1 in the dueling arena, then you head to the MA and destroy legions of enemies together.
-
I got to wing up with blukitty last week. we litterally destroyed a small army of enemy airplanes just by flying in the same area with just a tiny bit of coordination. if it was two enemies easy 1v1 kills if they didnt double up... if they doubled or trippled up someone got two free kills while the other evaded the attacks of forced overshoots and killed some at the same time.
its fun to wing up with your friends online. making clutch shots on enemy planes that keeps your wingies flying and shooting planes off your tail is one of the most enjoyable parts of the game.

<---- must be in the top 2% or better, because I mop the floor with MidFAIL. :rofl
And here I considered myself to be a pilot of "average" skill at best, and get to fly about once a week now. And even with a wounded LaLa limping home with one half of my tail and an oiled engine, I still reversed MidFAIL and killed his Spit easily after he dove from my high 6, then killed the 190 that was following him in. If you're ever gonna be more than a n00b in an easymode ride, you gotta be able to pick up the easy ones more than once out of every 5 or 6 tries. My god, I'm drunk 80% of the time when I fly, and I still beat you like a rented mule. :rofl

LOL. I had just PWN'd you badly with my 110 as you tried to run from me, and you came back and caught my heavy 110g right after I lifted heavy to bomb incoming GV's. You had about 5K alt advantage and lots of e on me, and yet you still almost were forced into the overshoot twice and only got the kill as you barely managed to get inside me in the rolling scissors as we made our way down to the deck. The fact that it took you SOOOO LONG to best my heavy 110g in your trainer was the funniest part. And then YOU, ma'am, are the one who yacked it up on 200, and then refused my offers for you to duplicate your luck 1v1 away from the furball, which you refused.
So I upped an LA-7 and went hunting, and proceeded to PWN you a couple of times until it became boring.

This is getting to resemble watching speed tweekers trying to count change for bus fair around 3am at a bud stop. God forbid when the change gets dropped becasue they all agreed it would be easier to count all of it from one tweekers hands. Individual counting was eluding them. Reading the sign that said the buses stopped running at midnight was beyond(above) them even under a street lamp.
We are after the dropped change at this point just before trying to reach into the sewer.

I could name you heros that would shame this statement, but I won't. I'm sure with a bit more thought you'll understand. :aok
As a quick example, ask yourself... why is France free... think of the pilots, among others.
Some heros are men/women of great skill, courage, or luck in war, some are men/women of great skill, effort in sports, some are men/women of great thinking or teaching, some are, etc... etc... There are heros in many many areas.
Some obviously far more important than others, but they all share great accomplishment in their field of effort be it war, work, school, games, home, etc...

That actually sounds good for me. Would give me a lot more fight time to do that if there are no more bad guys to encounter on the trip home. I actually waste a lot of time flying home with half a wing and no chance of another fight. Landing is easy, most of the time, but consumes too much time.
I don't really care about landing wtg's or even k/d as much as improving skills to handle tough situations -- and I up from capped fields every day, get grief for it but it's fun and hard to win. I have a reputation of stupidity for it, among other things. :D
Good idea. Will do this for a while. :aok
There are a lot of good people in game. You have to ignore the rest or have fun with them. At least I do, when they get all bent out of shape about something. Occupies the time on climb out or the trip home.
:devil
If I auger once all cons are down, I'd spend less time chatting. Now if we only had air spawns to avoid the long climb out and time looking for a fight.
Thank you! Hope to see you in game for a good fight. Won't accuse you of shading, never heard of you anyway but like your way of thinking. :salute
PS: Now that I think about it, you're not the guy that PM'd me with "Dude", are you? :lol What did I pm back?

the reason you are not an "awesome" pilot yet is quite obvious. it's because your real goal has nothing to do with virtual dogfighting prowess. your real goal is to start threads that attract 15 pages of attention in 3 days, and at this you are truly skilled. even though i know exactly what this is, here i am. adding to it. be it on 200 or on the BBS, anybody who dares to take an objective look can clearly see what motivates you. attention. of any kind. you aren't stupid. if you want to improve your SA, look around. you already listed the things you need to improve. instead of shutting your lips (for a change) and actually focusing on improving what you obviously know is wrong, you started a thread in hopes (and well founded hopes, ill give you that) that anybody and everybody would respond, negatively or otherwise. if you really want to get better, getbusy doing so and shut up for once. im sorry i posted in this ridiculous thread, this is all i have to add. a spade is a spade, and you, Midway, are a troll. idgaf what you post in response to this. you and everyone else knows damn well that im right.

Actually, IrishOne... btw I appreciate your thinking and attempt at truth... but you are very wrong, understandable, but wrong re (1) troll, in the negative meaning of it, (2) what motivates me, and (3) my real goal.
Not going to give you a lengthy discussion of it but, in short, the truth is (1) I post to get helpful feedback and make a positive contribution, with a bit of silly/fun mixed in, sometimes too much. (2) What motivates me is making progress and overcoming the challenges presented with each fight which appears very difficult in this game and (3) my goal is to reach the level of skill to handle most any in-game fight with the optimal outcome.
I wish it was as easy as "look around", but there is a lot more to it than watching somebody shoot you down, although it does help. :aok.
We on the same page now? Hopefully... :salute :rock
PS: Hey look! We are! Page 16. :D

Hello again Midway/Who,
Since this thread got bumped again, and you continue to profess that you're not trolling, but seeking advice:
I flew against you a few times in furballs last night, mostly just watching your flying. It confirmed much of what I thought and much of what has been said by others here. I only closed and engaged you once (after you HO'd your first opponent) made several turns with you, and scored an assist in my 109F (with a drop-tank still on, I should add) -- someone dropped in and took your wing off for me. These few encounters were enough for me to see that you are not nearly as good as you think you are. In fact, you are only slightly better than you were last year at flying essentially the same way.
SA is not your primary problem. I know you used "my bad SA" as an excuse many times on 200 last night. But, that wasn't the problem. I could explain why, and what is, in great detail, but you have already ignored so much advice in this thread already. I will say that focusing on "improving your SA" (as you put it) will be a wasted effort on your part -- similar to the effort made by those giving you advice here.
You might consider re-reading this thread a few times, though.
Good luck with whatever path you choose.

Thanks Kingpin... good thoughts worthy of consideration. :cheers:

I love this whole "Consideration, taking into account, that's a good/creative way of looking at it...but.." category that he has.
It's like dropping an application off at a place that doesn't give a damn about who you are, were, or ever will be. They just take it and toss it into the trash without even contemplating what effort you just put forth.
This is all your doing Midway. Craving for info that you can easily assess on your own and specifically from said "highly skilled stick or FPH." Taking what's given to you and literally looking right past it, blatantly speaking of course.
I, without a doubt in my mind, know that you will conjure up some pathetic excuse and justify what is being said by my post here. As Irish said, we all know what is going on here and for me the counter has exceeded it's given time for far too long. Sadly, you'll be the first one on this "blocked user" option. I have a high tolerance, but as i find myself reading this thread and after ALL that has been offered to you..... You still just DON'T GET IT.
Hopefully any of what's been said here sinks in through that thick headed skull of yours, truly I do.
If any does, i'll notice in the skies and no longer here in the BBS.

My mind is open, SWkiljoy... question is... is yours? :headscratch:
I fully comprehend what you're saying and can see how you can come to that incorrect conclusion... fact is I've improved much due to help from said "highly skilled stick"s. They know I appreciate their help and many have seen said progress. Are you falling into the trap of looking at the glass half empty too? :huh Please don't... because it is half full, use to be almost empty, but keeps getting fuller. :aok
We'll talk with our aeroplane's guns soon... and I'll do some convincing. Losing grasp of the truth is worse than losing grasp of those ports you're suppose to be protecting. :D
PS: I best hush... afraid of JUGgler's 110 -- still. Can't leave misinformation hanging out here though.
:old: Truth is truth.
Now don't make me have to repeat myself again, please. :)

Why is David Wales gone exactly?
Asked too many silly, off topic, questions? :headscratch:
More posts than sorties? :headscratch:
dunno
-
does he cut n paste the same paragraph of nothing every post he makes or does he rearange it so the nothing in the paragraph looks different?
-
Now the tweekers bus change is all on the ground and some did fall into the sewer through the road grating. Question is, how many of you are going to follow after those coins trying to retreive them?
At least no one has decided the road is breathing. OH...sorry that was the dead heads the next weekend on acid at the same bus stop. They eventualy all climbed up onto the bus stop bench because they were convinced the sewer grate was going to eat them before the bus showed up. That hotel room had an interesting view of Berkeley and it's night life.

My average is a little over three posts per day over 22 months although it does bounce around a lot from month to month. Your average is approaching seven per day over 16 months. More than 2X mine. :headscratch:
Your total post count is 67% higher than mine in less time.
Maybe check your profile first? :rolleyes:
PS: My sortie count likely exceeds my post count by a factor of 25X. Yours?

go outside and get a job. I'm sick of paying taxes for your unemployed butt while you work on your internet awesomeness. :bhead
The list of priorties before one should attempt to achieve internet awesomeness:
1. Good job....meaning one that doesn't have a drive thur window
2. Nice home...paid off
3. Happy wife and kids
4. man cave with fully stocked wet bar and Snapon tool box over by the 36 Plymouth
5. saving account for the kids college education
6. AcesHigh2 account

I've been around long enough to know that someone that puts in the time you do in this game is either:
handicapped and stuck at home.....which I sincerely hope isn't the case, but one I could understand and say to you, "more power to ya".
or you're a lazy unemployed bum living off of someone else, with no friends and you use this game to make up for it.
or you've achieved the goals you set for yourself in life, have retired and are now enjoying your free time.
I strongly suspect you're in the second category and sadly there are thousands if not millions of American youth just like you. If you and your type would put your energy into something productive that actually meant something in the real world, we'd all be a lot better off.

:lol yes I know Lusche. But where ever you may be on the list, I think we can all agree that you are a valued asset to this game and community. This "midway" character is nothing more then a human spambot looking for internet fame and acceptance imo

I haven't talked to her lately. The last time I got an e-mail from her was maybe 4-5 years ago. She'd gone to culinary school and was working as a soux chef out in California. It seemed to me like she had really cleaned up her life, which was great to hear.
When I first read this, my mind saw "Sioux Chief", and I thought to myself, "what an interesting résumé....."
-

Wouldn't a spambot have tens of thousands of posts instead of tens of thousands of sorties? :headscratch:
If I wanted "Internet fame and acceptance", you'd think I'd be much more agreeable with the misinformation posted (like yours) so you'd accept me. Fact is I care far less about acceptance, and care far more about developing awesome fighter skills. Is that not yet obvious to you? :bhead
Averaging three posts a day over less than two years is far less than many others on here. Please check your facts and assumptions before calling people names and invoking put downs based on wrong conclusions. Thank you. :)
Now, back to the topic at hand... any more needs to be said re developing awesome fighter skills?
If not, let's :bolt: from this thread. :aok

...tens of thousands of sorties over a year or two? :headscratch:
It's an odd concept on the surface, but...
As your skill increases you'll probably have fewer sorties per playing session/month/year even if you play for the same amount of time (simply because you'll die less). Sorties per time period is rather meaningless as a result. Actually, a high sortie count could represent (at least in part) a low skill level.

My average sortie count over the last few tours has been decreasing. Well over three thousand early on, only about two thousand last tour.

But bailing after bingo ammo instead of landing sorties will move it back the other way... unless...
