Yo pilot. Welcome to a great game, a great forum and a bunch of awesome guys.
One of the ways we are learning and gradually building up skills to meet and kill these aces is by beeing hammered, battered, humiliated, chewed up and sent burning or spinning to the ground. Then we deal with the feeling of not being the Born Ace we all think we are, and respawn to get in there again, and again, and again...
Another way to learn and bulid skills to master the planes is to go for free-flights with a bunch of other BoP'ers just like bobby says. That way u can follow the leader, fly formations, dick around, have a beer and a chat - and certainly a good laugh. That's the way most of us learned how to keep the crates airborn - and in time kill a few opponents. It's about patience and dealing with being a clobber in my opinion. Among other things we did was to arrange air-races, historic missions, pure flying with just chatting, laughing, smoking and doing all kind of silly stuff with the planes, stick&pad.
If you really want to meet and fly with the nice lovers of this game you go realistic or sim. (There is a few of them in arcade to, but recently they have been too busy learning how to ride cars).
I made my own prescreption when i tried to mingle with the aces; Forget about how 2 win. Remember how 2 have fun. Then you might win a few 2.
