i'm an okay pilot in arcade and will fly against or with anyone anytime... been shot down buy the best and have shot down some of the best... except dk... might have got gilly once
but as i read in another thread, it seems players are scarce and if i get an invite and i'm not in a game i'll usually join...
i accepted one a while ago and it turned out to be a realistic game and oh my what a difference. i had never played real online before. needless to say i had my ass handed to me and have ever since... my hands are full and i can't hold anymore!!! LOL
anyway... i don't mind realistic and have got to the point where i can land the Hurricane quite readily in CTA... but i just can't get a handle on flying... STALL STALL STALL... WTF... even pulling a semi tight turn @ 90 percent throttle.... STALL.... Spin... burn...
i have quite a bit of fun trying though
after all that... here's my point... i tell the guys in the lobby that i am totally a rookie pilot in real and i just get shredded by these guys. i'm not complaining about getting killed but i am complaining that there are other folks in the game who would be more of a challenge to shoot down than me.
i know it happens in all modes of the game and have seen it in arcade countless times... but come on... i know when i see a rookie i don't continue to pound on him and i even will let him get some kills to help his ego and keep him playing...
there... i feel better having said that
