Need some training
« on: January 08, 2019, 01:26:35 AM »
Wow!  Am I ever getting a dose of humility in this game.

I'm trying to come back after more than 10 years of RL etc.  I was never better than average anyway and with so many exiting the game, it seems all that's left are the aces.   This has seriously exposed me as quite the dweeb.  I'm getting my butt handed to me with every sortie!

So..... if you feel you might have something to offer this ole crusty veteran I am most willing to learn and promise to be an attentive student.  I've been watching VudoVince's most excellent youtube videos and trying to emulate him but I feel that some one-one training would help me a lot.

If you are willing and would like the challenge, please let me know.   I would be most grateful

YEP, I feel ya and I have been regular in game for 4 years, so NO SHAME on getting killed. Record your fights and then study them! Its invaluable tooll.

I am not a trainer but ...I will fight you in MP arena if for nothing more than you found a way to get film. OOPS, hope I didnt awake a sleeping dragon lol.... You should sign up for our 12 hours straight scenario ! Plenty of guys that will watch you backside. A lot less 3 on 1"s than in Melee Arena. It looks like a GREAT set up, USA vs Japan, Leytey gulf.

Thanks 1stpar3.  Yes, I know the value of recording.  I should start doing that.  Thanks for the heads up about the scenario.  I'll have to look into that.   Be happy to hook up with you any time.   Thank you sir!

If you see me on I would be glad to go to the training arena to help you out. I am mediocre at best but maybe I could show you something or at least let you follow me around to shoot at me. I am usually on in the evenings to late night. Ill be heading back to work Friday for a few weeks so wont be on until late January. In game name is Clu.

Homeboy, what time zone are you in, and what times would work best for you. My RL schedule is a little chaotic right now, but I'm sure we can find some time to knock the rust off. Oh and it's good to see you back.  :cheers:

Thanks for the kind replies.

I am in the Eastern time zone.   I'm retired now so just about any time works for me.

Clu,  any time you want to do some TA work will be fine.  If we see each other maybe we can make that happen.   Thanks!

Sik, thank you for offering to help me.  Sounds like my schedule is more open than yours.   If you want,  drop me a message and let me know when you might have time.   I'll keep an eye out for you.

Yes Max, I am the guy who USED to do the lefty stuff. 

Great to hear from you TequllaChaser.   Glad you're still around.   I'm happy to be back.   Wish I could stay alive more than 15 seconds though!  :)

No worries homeboy. I notice most players flying these days have better SA and dogfighting skills. Its due to less new baby seals flying.
