Smug Question, but a question never the less.

nope, i still dont give a monkeys...i'll try to out turn anybody at any altitude and probably wont even know what it is they are flying anyways...you see, the thing is, when i get shot down, i dont really die.

actually, i do want to learn the manouvers...turning gets a bit boring after a while....but i certainly dont want to know the related performance charateristics of various aircraft at any given altitude...no sir, i dont want to know that at all

The question itself could've been made more into a statement, or advise, but looking at the title of the post he knows what it sounds like .
Still, I have to agree with him a bit, since it's a realistic game, people should do a little bit more research or try-outs before jumping into an airplane. One of the downsides of realistic settings .

with respect, no they shouldnt...everyone has paid their money and they can enjoy it at whatever level they like. If that means they are too easy a target for your enjoyment, well tough titty IMO.
i enjoy it at a recreational level...i really have no inclination to study the aircraft beyond what i find i enjoy to fly.

I'm sorry if I happened to sound arrogant, or whatever you thought it was. I didn't mean people should dive in the books or something, I sure didn't, but at least try out some stuff. No problem if they don't, but at least for me the game is much better when I fly an aircraft that flies like I want it to. If someone wants to fly the P-51 because it's their favorite plane, be my guest, just don't be surprised if you have a hard time killing someone.
As a general advise to those who recently started playing the game, I'd say they should try different aircraft, maybe take a look at the forums, just so you'll find a plane you like.
