You're one was fine mate, as was Varcus's.

We should probably try and work out who has the best connections before the battle for europe begins. I think I can safely say that I won't be hosting any matches though

Dont worry about it, I think everyone got a pop at me

Your server was fine, no lag that I noticed, not that I was alive long enough to notice. lol

But, we still ended up having some great team battles last night, with (almost) RAF vs Russian. It was very cool to be able to spot the enemy by aircraft type rather than colour markings.

Also, sorry to Steyr_amr for the team kill. I think I might have got you accidentally as well Fangface, sorry dude. By the way, I saw you're flying and it wasn't as bad as you think. Try playing in offline practice mode against veteran AI on sim mode. It will help you get the practice, but without the hecticness of online play.

I blame you entirely for my poor performance Rhah........ you encouraged me to drink and fly

Hah hah.... this is true. Ok, i accept full responsibility.

If you want some practice online, then i'll give you some lessons. I'm not one of the best pilots round here, but I (just about) know what I'm doing. I'll probably be online sunday afternoon/evening, so if you see me one there then drop me a line.

There is a good chance I will be drinking though

I don't remember that, though I do remember team-killing you and feeling very stupid about it. We were as close as I've ever seen two aircraft though, if I'd been in an La-7 or 109F I'd have missed you, but the full brace of guns on my wing hit you, that's how close behind you I was. I was probably a little too over-zealous.

Fangface, I felt exactly the same as you when I first started playing sim online - I got absolutely owned by this guy Roberts333 or something. But he enouraged me to continue, and once I did get a kill I was hooked. Seeing that fireball is so much more satisfying when you have worked so hard for it.

Even though you know your flight stuff, there is always a lot to learn when you go online with any game. Like if you completed CoD on veteran you would still get owned for a while online. Or you've finished Red Alert on the hardest difficulty - yep, owned online...

It is incredibly demoralising - especially when you don't get credited with kills. But that is what makes it so rewarding when it comes together. I would stay away from dogfights without a shadow of a doubt. Team battles might be slightly better, but target ID'ing tends to get me killed a lot. My advice would be to play CTA - and if you can't find a game, host one. People will eventually join. 2v2 CTA with 2 airfields would be my ideal learning playground

no sacrificial lambs... they increase the enemy's score

if you haven't already, look at the material in the team site thread that says "read this freakin thread."

If you can't download it (like if you're using your ps3 browser or something) at least read the second part that says "read this too dammit"
