For a while.
I'm going thru the worse flying crisis since I came to AH. My SA sucks, my skills feel like gone to hell and my K/D has gone under the abyss (I even dont dare to look at it). I think that even in my first days I did better flying than what I'm doing lately. Even when the 1.04 FM was released (wich was for me the worse moment since I came to AH) I did better flying than now.
I die all day long, no matter what I do. I got hit in impossible angles, I lose advantage because stupid moves, I get greedy when I used to stay with cool head, I lose won fights, and overall, you could say I'll die at the hands of the dweebest pilot in AH.
It was bad until today, but today I've diead five times in a row for no kills. Too much for my liver.
So I'm taking a leave. Out of AH. I wont close my account. Maybe I'll drop by to fly a couple sorties...in the first plane wich crosses my mind. But I doubt it.
Dunno if it is burnout or what, but I feel like toejam. I'm not longer confident in a Co-E one on one fight, so go figure in what used to be my favorite diversion, to bring down enemy cons with more E to kill them in my lone A5. Now I die in their first bounce (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/frown.gif)
Well, moving away. When I feel like NEEDING to fly I'll be back. In Jg54, of course

R4M.. It's the LW iron you fly. We American allied oppurtunists have developed magnetic bullets. They are like homing missles to iron (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)
Hey, everyone slumps. Just the nature of things. Yesterday I was at 0.72 for K/D, one day of good flying and up around 1.72 now. Hopefully I stick to the kill streak, but you never know.
<Holding up Jack Daniels> Here is to flying with a clear six.

Kinda feeling the same way Ram... I'm just handling it a tad differently.
This tour I'm cutting way back on my sorties... and I've decided to do it by only flying perk planes... about 5-10 sorties a week. All in the Tempest until the points run out.
So far, its been a blast. I'm just keeping it tempered.
Sometimes its good to take a break... and sometimes its good to try to find ways to make the game more fun for yourself.
<S>.. enjoy your break.

Times like that is when you take up a c202 and fight with it for a day or two. You know its ok to get shot down in it, but oh, the sweet reward of plinking someone down is quite uplifting (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif) (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif) (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)

He's just using that as an excuse to hide his REAL reason--
Now that the LW has the D-9, AND the C-hog is perked, R4M ran out of things to complain about and hence no longer has a reason to play AH.
Heheheh J/K (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif) Hope to see ya back soon.

Ram hope ya return soon, i can sympathise and just maybe its been a connect issue fron Europe because in 1 night my K/D went from 2.7 to less than 1 all i did was die all night no matter what i tried.
Damn i had real trouble getting to sleep that night (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
Anyway tonight things seem much better, I hope if you try you find the same.

excuse me for being so heartless but , do you think we give a damn if you leave here or not?? Friggin leave already , geese , its a game , what is this one last whine ?? Just like Cit aka Citabrea saying " I'm leaving I can't take it anymore , he calls people that kill him f**kin stunninghunks and logs ,
Please don't come back
-
It happens RAM.
I lose confidence in my skills once every two weeks or so. Normally it continues for a day or two, but it was a week when I could not get it back, and it was a really frustrating expirience.
It always returns though, earlier or later.
Good luck.

R4M, I was close to quit just week a go for very same reason you have. Then I thought, what the heck and took captured P-38 for ride and boy I found joy of flying again! I've always flown LW iron in different sims and simply got fed-up with 109 & 190.IMO, everyone, who think he sux, should calm down and take off with planes, that never flown before, I did and now I'm pretty happy with that (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
Just try R4M !
see you up there.

If you prefer me to call everyone an fu**in ar$e and log instead of taking one free week after saluting the one who killed me (as I did yesterday), then just say it so, and next time I log off the arena pissed off, I will say in open channel :"Paintmaw you are a Fu**in ar$e" before logging off. Maybe that way I'll feel better.
In any case,and FYI, this message is not a whine about anything (xcept my damned flying skills maybe (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)), but a "later" for those who care and maybe ask themselves why I'm not online for some time (one or two weeks). If you dont damned care, in the first term why do you take the work to post here?.
Janneh (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif) Its not an option. I chose to restrict myself to LW rides, and I'm in a squad with that rule. I wont break it...plus, I am sure that it isnt that I am in just one type of plane. I can go up on a La7 or a Niki that I will die too. Problem is that I do stupid things all the time. Maybe because I'm a bit burned out. So I will take a break and come again when I really need to fly...wich,by my own experience I know will be soon (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
AKdejavu, not a choice either (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif) I currently have 20 fighter perkies...as I came again with 1.06 and D9, I had 0 perkies from the start and as I only fly some 1-2 hours a day, it takes some days before having 50 again. All my rides have been in Ta152s (xcept one in Tempest to try it out). but now I have not perkies to spare.
Saw: Last time I checked my duty was to show the HQ to the chicks, while you were scrubbing the latrines. I will let the HQ tour for Glasses until I came back. You can continue with the latrines (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/tongue.gif)

Paint, do you hunt out posts that say someone is leaving? I wonder if we searched it if we would find it to be true, another day perhaps I will look. Maybe this one would of looked better titled "I need a break". I look for these posts because I like to know who is departing this community and for what reasons. It just seems lately that the MA lately is majority alot of vial insecure idiots that want to attack people verbally. I also wonder if there is a pattern to the people that are vicious in the MA are also the one who post negative too?

Oops, sorry for the double post.

<SALUTE> sorry Ram , I guess I didn't need to post that , I need a spanking . (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/frown.gif)
oh ,, no I don't hunt down the "I'm leaving posts "
-
I'm not a saint when it comes to responding to "I'm leaving" posts.
This is one of the first ones in a long time where I felt the person taking a break was actually being honest with himself and everyone else.
No scapegoats
No demands
Just someone that isn't having fun right now who is willing to admit its time for a break.

RAM,
For me, I do my best when I don't worry about anything. When I fly just for the sake of having fun, and put no expectations on myself, I tend to do just as well as when I am working at it.
I recommend: Trying to be a dweeb.
-Do Kamikaze missions.
-Do Ground attack in a Zero, like Fatty (<S> Dude!)
-Fly bombers and goons.
-Do head-ons.
-Vulch.
-Attack the enemy, no matter what the odds, with the intention of taking just one guy out, live or die, credit or no credit.
-Fly planes that will not encourage great expectations. (The 109F-4 has become my main ride, even for ground attack, and I am loving it. Every kill is very satisfying in this plane.)
-When you screw up, don't dwell on it, just hit "fly" again.
-Do stupid things on purpose. Then when you do them on accident, they won't seem to stand out, and won't seem to matter.
Give in to the Dweeb side of the force.
Tell your self, "Today I am going to be the biggest dweeb this game has ever seen. Now, what's the stupidest thing that I can do right now...?"
In other words;
Just fly for fun!

Ram,
Just think if this was real life in 1944-45,
well it's not! The reason you feeling down is you get to do it over and over again and your in a slump(it's not forever), because if it was real, we be saying he "was" such a good flyer. So what if your in a slump......they come and they go. If we all used text book flying it would really be kinda boring. I think your taking all this a little too seriously. Do I think your not a good flyer because of a bunch of stats? Hell no...
So many factors figure in, but who cares!
I hate when my wife is bugging me, and I got a 190 or Chog persuing me........but I don't snap at my wife for getting shot down...it's virtual, and I get a new plane.
We all have had a "good kill" where we have made the right moves. So what! I don't brag about a computer kill......but, I do admire the men who were killed and risked their lives to fly and fight in the aircraft of AH, and I love those airplanes.....Here in AH we are not worthy of the people we try to represent. It is a computer combat flight sim........Don't leave, just shake it off and have some fun.

you da man Cit (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif) btw I'm an easy kill

Actually, I've noticed its alot more difficult to find kills too. Seems the level of skill has really gone up over the last few tours.

Ram, man, dying 5 times in a row is a warmup. I can double that in 30 seconds.
-
Same here ram, from 5.5 to 2.? in less than an hour. Anyway, whats the problem? The more you get killed, the more you can learn. And actually, the environment is deadly for any LW pilot. You have the skies full of Spits, Nikkis and La7s, and there are nothing in the LW arsenal able to fight effectively any of them, unless the enemy is a rookie.
-
What Fatty said..
only I can beat that (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
If I were to get too dissapointed over my score or K/D ratio I'd be long gone.
Still, I understand the need to take a break once in a while.

>>I lose won
fights, and overall, you could say I'll die at the hands of the dweebest pilot in AH.
Well I am sorry to tell ya pal but, you are not doing as poorly as you think; you haven't died at my hands (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
I sir, am the dweebiest pilot in AH, thank you (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif) If yer having a bad run take a couple days off, it happens from time to time.
Now you take me for example. I flew another sim for years. When I began, it was tough and I spun in and stalled and died like a dog all the time. I got better, then I got deadly, then I...sucked! (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif) And I would have that sort of thing happen every now and then.
Now, I come to this new sim because my old sim let me, and a bunch of other longtimers and shortimers down in the worst way. They dumbed the fm down, and then went for the mass appeal; lots of targets but no longer a challenge.
The moral of the story? There isn't one so, buck up, take some time off and come back to fly and die! Things could be worse, you could be starting off from scratch like me, and dien in huge bunches. You could also hold really still and let me give you a .50 cal enema (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
