I get waxed almost every time I play online, which is Kinda embarassing considering the time I've spent in live aircraft and full motion simulators LoL.

Has to be on sim mode -

chasing a spitfire that was chasing one of my team mates, then fired at it at shot it down, while this was happening one of my teams mates was shouting over the mic that HE was getting shot at, i assumed it was the team mate that the spitfire was chasing........

i was wrong.

It turned out the spitfire i was chasing and shooting WAS the team mate, but the best part was the team mate i was shooting was ALSO chasing a team mate and shooting him. Rather messed up. Could all of been avoided if the first player that was getting shot up had a mic.

Wasnt sure if i was either a team killer, or a team saver... hmm..

That's what i have. Target fixation. I cannot help myself of shooting down that particuliar plane and not going for another one. I have to get that target. I dont care how meny Figthers there are on my tail, I just have to get him!

I remember that i had the whole RAF ( not Joking) on my six just because i shot down 2 spits on a single streak! that'll show 'em..

My most embarrassing moment is anytime I play Live. I just die, over and over and over again, even when I know guys are flying to let me get a kill.

Need more time to learn!

The key is to know what your enemy is flying and how it flies. Uses its weakness against it no matter how boring it may be.

For example,

i've just been playing against sloppyclock, and i must admit i was abit suspect when he chose the I-16 (I had the hurricane as always ) but i have to give him credit, he knew -

a) how to fly the I-16
b) how to fly against the hurricane

If i got onto his 6 then he would jsut go into a crazy turn (this is on sim mode btw), he was so hard to keep in my sights, he was able to out turn me so all i could do was get any shot of i could in the brief second i had to shoot, hope it did damage (the I-16 is weak) then run away and use my speed (not fast, but faster than him) to get away while trying to lose him down low.

IF i did damage then it makes it harder for him to fly, and easier for me to get the kill.

All credit to him, he knew how to use it!! he didnt stall it or have the engine cut out once at any height.

Also in the game was reddisback and he stumped us by flying the A20 in a dogfight, but he only died once!!!

he knew that our planes would struggle for speed against his, and he knew he had guns to get us. Generally we tried to stay away from him which i think unfurtunately may of made the game boring for him. Sorry redd


The point is - know what your enemy is flying and how to counter it you'll soon pick it up.

Definately when I tore my teammate to shreds thinking he was the enemy... Sorry DoraNine! =P

For me it was last night I'd say. If I can't shake a guy I'll bring him down to the deck where I'm pretty good (what? Iam!) and more often than not end up running them into the ground (ask edal86!) but last night I ran into a guy named djdaco420 or something like that and he did it to me! My smug confidence was shattered and I found myself sitting back and saying "nice!". Felt pretty silly. This guy was a riot by the way, he sounded like the biggest pot head EVER but was funny as hell. We had a couple awesome tussles where I'd barrel roll and chop the throttle, he'd slowly slip by and try to accelerate away only to pull the same trick on me. All the while I'm kicking my self and he's saying "I'm coming for you Hauptmann". I think we ended up about 3-2 in my favour but what a blast.

I was SO embarrassed when I accidently dropped a bunch of bombs on my teammate when playing CTA. I forget who but I know it was someone from the forums, and I didn't have my mic to apologize.

earlier today flying a sim game in berlin, hugging the rooftops then down to the river to get as low as possible to evade FOZ, up came a bridge, i pulled up slightly to go over it and hit a lamppost.
