Yeah, most of the matches I play seem to be with the same dozen people or so. Basically, anyone who is on the first page of the leaderboards is who I fly against the most. (Except for Monster)

Thanks for the great post Pedro. For new pilot looking to learn, this is a great read.

I agree with what you're saying about the boom and zoom though. It makes life frustrating for someone that wanted badly to fly a p51, and makes a lot of advice and tactics somewhat moot. If the game will only reward turn fights, then turn fights is all you'll get. I'll be glad when that patch comes so I can hawk someone down from altitude.

Again, thanks for the post man. While I'm not anywhere near your proficiency, I'm gonna throw you an invite just to live vicariously through your kills.

The patch will fix some of this soon. So that's a great thing.

Feel free. I like having lots of friends who want to play simulation. I tend to hit them all up when I start a room.

So damned true. The sense of satisfaction you get from killing someone in simulator mode is unsurpassed by any other mode. Even if you only get 1 kill a match, that kill will give you the satisfaction of 10 on Arcade Mode. To see a bare bones plane in front of you with NO lock on or any silliness like that, then be able to shoot and blast it's wing off and watch him spiral to the ground while fighting off the stall that you threw yourself into to get that perfect shot off (Without the computer telling you that you are stalling) is just an example of the awesome and exhilarating experiences that you get when in sim mode.
