Goodbye! a game? a sport? a competition? None of these

My suggestion to the OP:

Avoid 'arcade' matches and play 'realistic' instead. It's really not much harder, and less of that crap goes on. 'Sim' is even better if you like it. It's easier to spawn without being noticed, since there's no big red arrow on your opponents screen pointing to you.

This game throws you in the deep end in online play. Sink or swim dude. Take it as a challenge. You are the only one who can make it easier and more fun thru experience. I have to admit, the arcade camp looks like its split between vets and rookies, and the vets are having no mercy on anybody. I consider myself a pretty good arcade player, but some of these guys lately are damn good. They make amazing turns impossible in the other modes. Just keep playin. I'm an older guy and I guarentee if I can master this thing, so can you. The satisfaction of flaming some of these guys and hearing them get pissed is too much fun!!!! One guy I had to black list cuz his mouth is filthy and attitude is poor. Everytime I get in a match with him, I flame his ass as many times as I can and laugh like hell everytime I do. He never wins with me in the game. HAHAHAHA!!!

Yeah some like to intimidate with their mics. RATMAN and Cherokee Colonnial for starters. Why don't they just play on Realistic or Sim instead of spoiling it for the rookies.

just stick with strike untill your ready for a dogfight, the way i assess players is immortal pilot trophy/acheivement. If they've got it they're no rookie.
And more experienced players are in every game mode, it just so happens because arcade has the most players playing, that it has more of the experienced players than the other settings.

No guesses what I was flying when I earned that trophy.

Both those guys are cool once once you get to know them. Ratman doesn't mean anything when he says stuff. He gives me lots of good natured banter when I enter his games and he is one of the best characters out there. Just don't break use rockets or 153s in his matches or you will get blasted

Yeah I shouldn't judge on the basis of a couple of matches.
