Tonight on PSN! - Battle for Europe Training anyone?

[fangface666]

Many thanks for your words of support, I wont quit, BUT it doesnt change the fact that it is highly demoralising getting your arse kicked every time you go online

As far as practice goes, I agree, but unfortunately there arent many sim games hosted online, and those that do exist are hosted by experianced players so once again I become a plaything. LOL

@ wireflyer, I agree with your sentiment about practice, but I am not a beginner, maybe this is why I am so frustrated, and I think you got a kill on me last night , infact I think everyone did!

@Zatoichi_Sanjuro
"Everyone gets destroyed when they first start sim, it's partly how you learn what to do and what not to do. Also, elevator settings are crucial."
I know what to do......act as a target drone..LOL and I have adjusted the elevator settings.

@lost cause,

I echo your frustrations exactly, maybe we should try and arrange a session between us, I feel we may be of equal skill

@ Kozz, dont worry, last night was just a knee jerk reaction to a frustrating situation, I am still going to play in the battle for europe, I might just have to change my expectations regarding my role in the battle....Like I said earlier, sacraficial lamb!

Hi !

What about starting a Sim Flightschool for beginners ?? Nobody from the leaderboard <Top 50, no dogfights below 2000ft, fixed selection of planes ?

A pity I am lacking the time because of too much work right now. Next week I am in France for skiing, but by last quarter of the month I am in.

Cheers.

Yep, but the trouble is He lives in San diego, i believe, so those of us in the UK/Europe have at minimum an 8 hours time difference!

Not conducive to regular schooling. I signed up at the inception but have yet to be online at the same time.............maybe thats the reason for my recurring failure

Hi, I was exactly the same last week after a few games with MIRGERVIN and Co.. It's hard when you only last about 30 seconds per life! I had to go and play MW2 instead. Was thinking about not doing the tourney, but after last night I'm starting to notice an improvement. I played for 50 mins and only managed 3 kills, but, I got killed a lot less...

If you're on and fancy a game with someone who's also mainly cannon fodder then message me. You're already on my friends list.

Really sorry about the extreme lag last night guys.... Now I know that I should never try to host a game with more that 2 players. To be honest, it was ridiculous, hence why a lot of people left, and I eventually ended the server. I've never seen warping like that!

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.

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
