Here lately I seem to be getting pilot wounded an awfully lot. front, side, top, bottom. No mater what. 1 or 2 pings and boom, pilot wound. It doesn't matter what plane I'm flying either. :airplane:

Nothing there has changed.

It is my firm belief that pilot wounds run on a lottery system. When your number comes up, prepare for a night of red splotches all over the canopy. One ping, 800 yds out, from behind the armor plate, start bleeding. Other times I'll go weeks without getting one.
Ride it out.

Have you taken note of the pilots who have PW'd you, have they been the same that you have fought against before this PW boom? Some pilots have got me PW'd with only one pass and ping and when I've chatted with them afterwards, they say they usually aim to the canopy. I for my part find it hard to even figure out which direction the opposite player is going or even worse, what's my location in the virtual sky. A combination of young sharp eyes, good monitor, good SA and the ability to do computer level calculations is deadly to us mere mortals. I've even begun to think that the Internet/gaming generation see the whole game totally differently than I and those older than me. Instead of thinking how a real plane would act and adapting that thought to what's happening on the screen, they might do subconscious vector calculations of pixel movements. It's already in their spine.

Gained any weight lately? Maybe you are just filling up the space in the cockpit more and thus, the bullets have a greater chance of hitting you? :confused:

You may be on to something here. Anyone who's taken some form of programming has an interesting perspective on games and how they work. I'm not saying I see the matrix when I game, but there may be something to your comment on a generational gap in the fundamental understanding of how games and "simulators" work.
.... hasn't helped me much though Bizman :bhead

Hasn't helped me either... I recall a friend's son beat me in any game when he was under 10, at 16 or so he joined AH for awhile, got enough kills and bored. Without having to carry the weight of knowing the laws of physics kids can do miracles in a pixel world.
