It most certainly will--and has.

I wouldn't say that. Have you anything stronger you can use of the stains?

What a fun little thread!!

Lets see. To run and live or fight and maybe die...

I'd rather be dead and cool, than alive and uncool in our little neck of the Interdweebs.  And since this is just a game and Hitech wont allow you to cash your score in for fabulous prizes and terrific vacations, to play for score is to play for nothing...unless you are here to impress yourself.

I prefer being like Skyyr.  Where whiners start threads due to the frustration of being unable to kill him (or me, as it were).

AcesHigh / Virtual Dogfighting, is a sport regardless.

This cuts to the crux of the matter.  Some play AH like an eSport, while others play AH like a WWII game.  I try to get a WWII vibe from AH as best as possible in the MA.  I try to find bombers to escort or something a WWII fighter pilot would do.  When there's nothing to do but a giant furball between two bases (which the eSport guys seem to love) I log off.  I got caught up in the eSport thing for a while and dove into every furball I could find but got bored to death as it didn't give me a WWII vibe.  The eSports guys think the WWII guys are cowards and the WWII guys think the eSports guys are airheads when it's just two different definitions of what's fun :)

Eventually, if the game lasts long enough, there will be some sticks you can never kill, but they will kill you...often...    I intend to be one of them.  Smoke on that pipe a bit....


The only thing deep is your....

Screeeeeeeeeech.

Wait.  I don't wanna be PNG just yet.

Since I'm a gambling man, Ima bet you don't even get close.  But it shouldn't be too tough for a guy with lots of stick time in jet fighters, eh?

While it is commendable to aspire to be among the best, you'll have to fly a far more diverse range of airplanes. P-51, Dora and P-47M is very narrow skill set. The best in this game over the 13 years I've been flying and training others, could win in anything. Moreover, being among the best means winning when the odds are stacked against you. This is where dueling, especially dissimilar type dueling, helps to expand skills, knowledge base and builds the necessary experience base. I suggest flying what Alex flew... F6F. Flying the Hellcat means that you won't be able to extend away from the faster fighters. They will chase you down. So, before it becomes a race, you turn into them and show them why the F6F is much better than most would think... Add some variety, it'll make you a better virtual pilot. The path to the top tier usually goes through most of the plane set....
My regards,
