I suck because I choose to!
OK better define what it means to 'suck' in the MA better
If sucking means dying often in the MA, then I am king of suckage.
How do I do this so well? I more often then not am below the bad guys. I more often then not, fly into a large crowd of red. I can generally be found in the P38G below and flying into the large crowd of red. I do it well because that's how I choose to play.
I did a little experiment not too long ago. I put myself in 51B, 51D and Spit VIII. I flew them and fought only with the advantage. I got bored fairly fast. But my K/D was 9. My K/D in the 38G was under 1.
What did I learn? I learned that I have a short attention span. I learned that if I only flew with the advantage, I too can look like I know what I'm doing. I learned that I have more fun wading into a fight regardless and that I die often in those circumstances.
If your goal is to not 'die' in your cartoon plane, it's really fairly simple.
-Don't engage without an advantage.
-Alt is life
-Stay fast
-Only use your planes strengths, don't play into the other guys plane strengths
-Fly a cartoon plane that has more advantages then disadvantages
-When in doubt, run
If your goal is to have fun in AH
-Don't worry about dying. You'll learn a lot more about the performance of your particular plane that way by fighting it regardless of advantage or disadvantage
-Fly however you enjoy the game the most and quit worrying about what the other guy thinks.
-Remember no one is really dying
