I think i'll quit pickin' at the kid.
At least he has the balls to try to stand up for himself. We all knew he wouldn't stand a chance...like most of us
, He'll be alright I reckon.
The're been times in this game that we've all takin' beat downs. I'm sure AckAck has hundreds of times. Some of us take them on a daily basis

When you get sick of it enough and still want to play and be competitve at it, you HAVE to read, practice and train with folks that know how to do it. Beat downs are also a great training tool.
The way Cobra is jumping around, I'd say he's flying with the mouse. If that's the case he needs to go get a 20$ ST290 at Walmart and go from there. Read as many boring Techincal Support threads on this BBS as you can stand, and learn about sound/graphic settings and such. Read what more experienced players are saying about aircraft and styles of play.
This game takes time....and money. A 17 year old kid don't have much of any. I didn't anyhow.
