Played my first SIM game Sunday night!

Got in 3 more games last night! Took the advise and used the Hurri. I got my first kill!!!!!!! A 109G! But that was it. I'm using a controller and cannot see crap around me with R3 look around. The Hurri was real stable and I enjoyed flyng it. Perfect plane for a beginner. The last match was a 1 on 1 and I was helpless. We each had the 153 (OhhhhhNoooo!) He shot me down like 12 times and I augered in another 6 (18 deaths). I felt like he coulda takin it a bit more classy but he chose not to. No fun! I didn't quit out so he could have his win but that was it for Sim last night. I need a stick. Lots to learn and practise but I was thrilled with my first blood!!!!

PS: A question. If you have to purposely crash to re-arm, why not just use infinite ammo?
