Brings back memories from 2000 when 1 out of every 2 planes was a C-Hog.

I will 1vs1 with you in any plane in the set.  We can do same planes, or any combo that might be interesting.  

But I get what you are saying about the DA.

Personally, I never go into the DA "looking" for a 1vs1...  I go to the MA and look for a real pilot (not the DA Furball Lake dweebs), then go into the DA for some good dueling fun.

I like to fly the Yak in there. The short clip isn't a problem because the Gang gets me before I run out, but the Yak is small and hard to hit so I can work on my SA and "jinx" while popping the odd overshoot.

DA is a good place to learn only if you hit into right people. Look into TA instead, have a trainer assess your skills, then go from there.

Whats your in game name?

TA is the best place to get started. Learn the basics there, take offs, landings, basic flight maneuvers (Lessons by a trainer this Saturday 6-11 SEE THIS THREAD), even some advance air combat maneuvers. The trainers will work with you as much as you want.

DA is good when you hook up with guys you get to know and who have been around awhile, and who are better than you. The 1 vs 1 time can be some very intenst learning time and accelerates your learning due to the fights being closer together with the other guy more often than not telling you what you did wrong and how to "fix" it.

Main arenas are for fun and to try and put into practice all that you've learned. The situations won't all be as cut and dried as the training ones, but the more you practice the better you get.

Good Luck !

once you learn basic manevuers 1v1 is a great way to get better.then do 2v1 and 3v1s.really helps prepare for the MA where anything can happen
