100% Hopeless

Yep, that's me.

First off, though, I'd like to say kudos to Rhino, I disconnected you on our first match after my PS3 froze.

But anyway, I'm noticing that no matter who I face, I'm being out turned, and generally out-fought completely. Perhaps it's my inability to counter the enemy's lag/pure pursuit tactics but maybe there's a little bit more.

I flew against Rhino today and I was completely destroyed. I have no idea how everyone is able to turn like Zeros. Perhaps I'm not maintaining corner speed in the Spitfire II I'm most often flying? Maybe there's a secret to the y-axis sensitivity that I haven't discovered? Maybe if I trim up, I can turn tighter? Perhaps when I'm turning as I'm diving, I should reduce throttle, and increase it as I turn upwards? No matter what I try, the enemy (Rhino in an La-5FN!!) could out turn my Spitfire II with no problem, or at least gain some kind of angle on me miracurously.

I flew a bit with Edal today too, but I was mostly forced to use BnZ since I was in an La-7 against his Hurricane. I don't know when the next time I'll be able to train, as I'm going back to school in a few days and I have a lot to do. Hopefully when March wraps up, I'll be back on.

But please, I need a LOT of help because frankly, I'm getting my butt handed to me, one round after the other and I'm quickly getting exhausted of failure.

Thanks!
