By advance, sorry for other members, but it's funny (or sad ...) how things can be different, depending who tells, and of course with no witness...

Dementia, I have flown with/against many sim players here, many of them are members of these forum and great virtual aces, sometimes i win, sometimes i loose, and next day it'll be different, but you are the first to msg me to "explain" some rules.

During the longest part of our only one 1v1 fight, i had exactly the same feeling of your strategy, you crashed after some shots without any kill for me, and so what? That's the game, it's not a problem, in many case we think our plane is still manoeuvrable and try to escape and avoid other bullets (like a real pilot whatever you think).
Sometimes also, specialy when close to the ground, even when we try,we do not have time to select and valid the "bail out" option that the plane still crashes. Be sure that each time i have time enough to do so, i use to bail out, but one another thing is sure, i will never msg a player for that, i just think for me "i had to get a better aiming next time if i wan't to win"...

But you decided to msg me to explain me these rules about bailing out, and, more interesting, decided that escaping is not a tactic !!! Of course you also called me "rookie", that's always nice!

I understand you don't like loosing (me too, of course, that's human nature)but don't be so peremptory when you try to give lessons... escaping is one of the great principles of air combat (i have some real life knowledge about that, but that's not the subject). Much better (and safer) getting full wep, taking the protection of the ground and putting some miles between you and your agressor, when you don't have the full situation awarness, instead of beeing shot like a sitting duck without understanding anything. You 'll have all your time to come back with lots of knots and/or feet to kick his ass later.

You're right, i put you (or the pseudo you used: "kowihawk" ) on my blocked list (you are the second one after more than 3 years on PSN!) when i read your msg. This is just a game, we can not be friend with everybody (same as in real life) but we just try to play to the same game, with fun for everibody. Just to be precise, when i host, i select 10 mins (more in one game is too much for my old eyes and my nerves) and 40 for victory score (another thing different from what you tell...). I'm sure you have many sim friends, so you don't specially need to join my games (and i won't join yours).


One more time, sorry for the other members, was my one and only post on this thread of course.
