Jeez I havnt flown a 262 in a while. I usually crash the first 2 or 3 before I remember how they compress.

As for the rest of the post, its spot on. Im trying to learn the 109. It cant catch much, but its fun trying to turn in it, and like you said, you are so concentrated on the fight your in that those high speed passes of the pickers arent always easily dodgable. I think many players are trying to fight, even the new ones and it is very easy to get discouraged by so many pickers.

Oops. Got you mixed up with a different post about flying the 262. My bad. I think the K4 is fast enough to catch some but I can't hit anything with the tator launcher so it's not helpful for me. It amazes me how some of these guys can hit 90 defection shots with  tators.

What I was asking is if anybody feels that they're not as good as they used to be 20 or 30 year ago and if so why? I it that we don't play as much as we used to? Is it we're getting slower in our older ages? I am curious about that.

I have said/ felt that same way years ago on this bbs and in-game....often saying that I was (am) about 50% of the  abilities of what I was doing during my best years..

With that said, you lose it if you don't use it!

Memory loss, old, disabilities affect some......edit: and flying not as often, I think affects one's Situational Awareness (SA) the most....for me anyway...

Where can you look up MA kills by plane type?

Eagler

On the main page, click on scores and stats, then click plane. From there you click the month/tour you want to see. This is one way that I've been basing my accusations on poor map gameplay with respect to kills/month. Maps that dont generate good fights throughout the day have lower kill stats. This correlates to lower #s overall due to lack of action. You can also sort by K/D, most kills, and most deaths per plane. Its a great stat to view.

Oh I can and will. Im currently documenting the maps up on the weekends with relation to #s during certain times along with the fights on the map during that time.

It's clear as day light to me.

I agree with you on this, I just don't care as much as you after all these years,  if I get a couple good fights I'm happy.

Might suggest you compile numbers of players in flight before dusk and during.  Pretty obvious watching darbars shrink because folks can't see toejam.

Programs track the kills, map time active is easy to figure out with simple math.  What are you contributing other than arguing a false point with someone you don't know online?

excuse me if I'm wrong,   but I didn't know that kills are separated by the hour.  more he's only checking a weekend,  so 3 days tops. that leaves 4 days without any data.  won't that be limited?

only one that has all the data is hitech. there's one guy that can pull data and make all kind of graphs  that while extensive are somewhere limited when it comes to comparing by maps. he's trusted because he has proven to be reliable and unbiased.

it isn't violator.

one more thing about false perception is me.  I've flown mostly a Pony for years,  before then it was the spitfire 8, 9 or the zeke.  those are the planes i remember mostly.   fugitive pulled my kills by plane.  I still remember when he said it blew my mind that the plane you were best in is the il2 by far.

I didn't know that either.
