An apology aka I would like to/need to correct the record...

[Pawz]

Why are you guys stroking his ego?! He is not a good pilot and never will be SORRY! First he does the same moves and once I beat him a few times after avoiding head-ons he's out to hunt you down. How weird is that? I now understand how Bruv feels with the wet ankle syndrome. Your apology is not excepted in this community because you always revert back to the same cowardly who /midway antics. Nuff said...

Sadly this is true, I for one beat midway quite often, I would say 80% of the time or more IMO, usually lose when I get lazy, and the k4 vs Spit8 can be a tough one as well as the spit out performs it in most any way other than climbing and running (and he usually has E because I am already engaged  ) and every time he hunts me and HUNTS me and HUNTS ME until either he kills me or gives up to find another fight, whether 2v1 or 5v1 he comes in as the 6th for his kill 

I don't mind it, I find it quite funny most of the time actually, he's quite easy to reverse troll with his own words.

I am afraid, someone couldnt learn anything during those 2 weeks.

[Midway]

Who,you might want to do a lot more training,there are some great trainers out there that can explain what your doing right or wrong at the time of flying ,which helps a lot.
I thought i was getting pretty good two years in ,then realized I was only getting good with about 70% of the players in the game ,which have no real ACM skill,and just brag a lot (don't become this)
Take any chance you have to one on one fly with any trainer or stick that can shoot you down and is willing to help.
I would be happy to wing up against you in TA anytime if you wanted,just pm me.

Tried that many times, both DA and TA.  Thousands of sorties.   Some of the best pilots tried helping me many many times, without success.    Nothing is helping me advance any further.

A child can not comprehend calculus, unless they are a genius prodigy.

Defeat is admitted in my quest to approach the awesomeness of my FPHs. 

My only other option is to buy a CH combat stick and hope said stick will push me through said ceiling.

Reality must be accepted instead of fantasy.

Although one can always continue to dream.

I HOed Pawz's 262 and won.

There is still MA fun to be had in picking, vulching, HOing, winning, and losing.

Not sure where you can go from here the only way is further conditioning in the DA with better pilots.

Hey Midway - check out my sig - especially the second line, altho' all 3 apply.

Midway, you weren't singing. You were incessantly typing song lyrics, and it wasn't just Bruv, everyone told you to give it a rest. For whatever reason you chose to ignore everybody and continue till you got muted. How many times is that now?

Midway -

     I don't mean to make it sound like you are a noob, because I know you are not.  Did you film the fights and analyze them in a slow speed (usually 0.15 to 0.25) to see what the states of each plane were?  Sounds like you found what your kryptonite is and you are struggling to overcome it.  You mentioned that you sought the help of some of the best pilots in the game, or they tried to help you?  Did you share that film with them?  I know of two guys (one is a current AH2 trainer and retired Air Force pilot and one a former trainer and a retired Navy Top Gun pilot) that can possibly help you to analyze what is going on.  If you want their game IDs, just PM me.  One for sure would help, the other, I'd have to ask him as he is always busy or traveling...

    I'd offer to help, but I struggle just to remain average at best.  Went through a 2 week dry spell without any air to air kills until a few days ago, I finally broke through the spell.  It can be maddening to say the least.

Thank you for the suggestions, SlipKnt, but I've come to some conclusions:

(1) If the above suggestions would help, then there would be far more equals to my FPHs than there are.  I've tried slow film review, I've been told what I'm doing wrong and what I need to do instead.  I've tried those things, they got me killed quicker.

(2) Some people just have the purity of genius and clear thinking aka mad skills, which are not easily copied or learned.

(3) There is a reason Albert Einstein was a genius, or Steven Jobs, or Elon Musk, or Henry Ford, all are/were amazing talents.  Talents which are not transferable and can thus only be admired for excellence and possibly be an inspiration for some mediocre achievement in the admirer's near future.

(4) Aces High models combat and flight sim very well and yet even a Top Gun RL pilot instructor is unable to excel beyond or equal the awesomeness of FPHs like, for example, my original and bestest Fighter Pilot Hero, Bruv119 (or his FPH, Kazza).  Again, showing how talented some people are.

(5) Shane is right.

The above are based on thousands of hours of flight time, tens of thousands of sorties, and an ongoing sincere and strong desire to get to the level of said Fighter Pilot Heros.

I no longer want any help, as it just reinforces my mediocrity, results in nothing learned other than a sense of continuing defeat on the road to achieving FPH level skills.  I can not any longer nor ask others to do it for me to achieve said skill level.

Time to focus on fun in the MA and accept reality over fantasy.

Thank you.

I saved this image long ago after Shane used it in a thread as it seemed like it would usable again in the future.  It seems so appropriate to any of the never ending Midway threads.

<=== saves Gupp's image for the next go around of Midway's inevitable ban and return.

I am not as good as I thought -- yet.  In fact, compared to those with Bruv level skill, I stink.  Having hit a ceiling in my abilities, I am now stuck to said ceiling and have been for months.  

I hereby apologize to all for overstating my abilities, they are not as I had hoped.  An apology is also necessary for several recent moment(s) of weakness for which I have given my way much consideration.

I made a mistake and admit same.  Truth is truth.


Thank you.

You can admit it Midway, it was the other night's complete and utter dismantling of your Spitfire by the mighty Mitsubishi aeroplane that has brought about this epiphany and made you reconsider your way.

Why is it good for someone to constantly lick some certain people's bottom? Maybe to annoy others?
If so, i would take a look on the description of the rule 4.
If not, then someone is just extremely low on social talent.
