My point is that it takes a long time to get those skills where you know what view the con will be in and that regardless, a slower PC is certain death anyway.
Yes, it takes time to gain those skills. That's what makes online flight sims like this fun for years instead of 1/2 an hour. A never ending learning experience is what keeps us coming back to these sims. Easy to learn enough to fly, but very very difficult to master.
As for a slower PC = certain death, it's not that simple. Give Drex a machine that will only do 15 Fps, and give me a freakin' Cray that will run 150 fps and Drex will STILL hand me my ass. Every time.
If your machine is too slow to keep the game playing smoothly, it can be a dis-advantage, but it certainly isn't as cut and dried as your statement above. If your machine can maintain 20 fps or more in combat, you are dying because you are making mistakes, not because your computer sucks.
