BACK TO THE ORIGINAL SUBJECT AT HAND!!!!!!!!!!!
yes, u should fight your own fight, and depending on what plane u are in is how u should fly it
A pony shouldnt be turning on the deck, a LA shouldnt be 20k,
Use your plane the way it was ment to be flown, if possible extend away from a fight to regain a advantage.
but if u are the type to run in and kill as many as u can befor u die then by all means go for it.
I die alot myself because I end up low and slow in a furball, anytime i get behind someone or shoot at someone, unless i get in trouble my target almost never changes, i do this because if I break off a target then everyone else might think im still engaged with him, allowing him to get behind someone else unchallenged.
