The O' Club / Re: What're you paying for Gas?

I'm happy to pay half at the pump even if that's the only reduction in price I see. It won't be.

Agreed, but it won’t change my life, unless I was still working and commuting.
The 2017(?) “ Tax Cuts” (scam) made it so I could no longer deduct it. But since I’m not traveling much I don’t and won’t even feel it.

There are always peaks and valleys, but in economics the peaks rately return to the same valley. They just go two steps firward one step back. Once they think you’re used to it the fall doesn’t happen.

Tariffs are a funneling device, you pay, they (politicians) take. Thats like asking them to give themselves a pay cut.

We’ll see, I’d love to be wrong. It may re-rack my view of humans.

I'm not sure what my damage would have been on this but I found one from tour 281 where I did 2 sorties with a bomber (one was a base capture) and got:

Just as a general reminder: The damage points displayed at landing in the arena (this is what OP is talking about) and those on the scoresheet are not the same. In fact, they are only remotely connected to each other and not directly comparable. Player A can have a sortie with much higher "displayed damage" but much less score damage than Player B.

What are some good Rudder Pedals, with Hall Effect sensors, that are reasonably priced?

Max damage requires maximum time investment with little reward. Hone your skills in bombers practicing white flag+deack of towns, fracking/shutdown vbases+ports, and shutting down small/medium airbases.

Once you build up muscle memory in those areas and can do it effectively no matter what direction you come in at the target start practicing gunnery like I do. Within a few months you will be a force to contend with in this game.

I always thought people that get their names in these lists are people that only play it safe, timid, run from fights, use picking tactics or in some way or form game the game to get their high score.
But I have fun, and that has been my drive all these years. I fly to have fun, if I don't have fun I log. Simple as that. And I rarely ever look into this forum because I am not really a forum guy, I just like to play the game.

Agree that some pilots play super safe, but many are just excellent pilots that have been playing for many years and learn how this game works. To be honest, I believe this game should be played  whatever the user wants in order to have fun. We need and accept all enthusiastic players for this game. Like you, I also don't care about statistics and play to have fun...
