I think that noob pilots, when they join a game they will play ranks that are about their level...and when expert pilots should play ranks around their level..I think this would be a good I dead so the noobs will get to learn how to play better and won't die often as when they play pro pilots.u guys get this???I think I explained it badly. Wat..is this even possible to do???
If you lose in the OUTSIDE, you will also lose in the INSIDE...I think

I get this, youre saying that us vets shouldnt kill aspirants as much. I think that good players tend to go for the threatening players, i do, as im often the only one in the game who can bring some people down. Tnis is a good idea, used by most top players

He is saying that people should face others of their ranks. Like asperants will be in games with ONLY aspirants. And so on

That is true alo becuse when I first came back the first person I played was chan is master he shot me down a billion times but I figured out some stuff and all the people my rank and a few ranks higher where no problem. Now I can fight some of the best guys and do alright.

I agree with you. It is all too easy to scare away beginners. When they're allies one could help them by keeping an eye on them and if possible divert the attention of higher ranked enemy planes that attack them.

I also think enemy aspirants should be left alone if they don't become too aggressive or become a real threat. Usually they don't.

Slenderman's enigma-code line about helping beginners is another way of saying the same thing.

Being somewhat a noob (hopefully not perpetual) I do not want any special consideration while flying, but sometimes after being taken down at spawning several times in a row at least back off a little and let me get off the deck.

I love the challenge of action in the air, also I don't mind my a*s getting shot down at spawn, but some have perfected the technique of bagging new entrants into the game. I have been repeatedly shot down (still on deck) almost the instant I appear. I did think there was a small immunity, but maybe in any hesitation I have it goes away. :(

I really love battling the great fliers here - albeit short, and so far I just raise their score.

If you want to test your mettle, dial back to one of the lesser aircraft and battle with the same flight parameters - similar to sailboat one class racing - the talent shows, not the differences in the boats.
A noob, or slightly maturing one, meeting a faster better equipped plane has a double disadvantage.

iQQi, due to being an extremely mature and humble person -- you aren't a noob in my eyes. Many people come here acting like they own the place. I respect you for not acting like that.

No, iq, your good for a new player. I dont mind being killed unless i dont get off the deck. Thats all. Kill me after im up and im fine with it. If i get a chance to shoot at u and miss, its my own fault.

Yeah I hate that can't even get the motor fully cranked shot down lol. But it happens I always look for the highest rank against me to go after but if I see someone just beginning I just chase them and don't shoot or shoot by them to teach them to move lol

That's a good idea! :-)
I have been flying around making screenshots these last days, and it's amazing how people dive and turn and spin and do all kinds of manouvres to shake me off when all I try to do is to stay on their tails and keep them centered in the screen for a nice snapshot :-)

I do a Barell roll around you while turning into you dropping throtel pumping shots in you as you go by the thing that sucks about this you time it wrong and you ram your enemy killing your self.

Let's see if I can I got to think of how I do this. Ok you do a barel roll as the enemy fighter comes tords you but do your barrel roll big. Give it a nice big circumference but not to big or it will be counterd very easily by them turning then yiu get stuck in a dogfight any back to the manuvir just as there about to go by turn hard into them while dropping your throtel and fire into them and boom they fall. Just make sure you pull the manuvir quickly or it will be counterd instantly by the guy moving off his flight corse and turning to get you. The good news is when it is counterd it still worked sort of becuse your on the guys tail and you can chase him frome there.

On Chan's first idea, I like it. I try to always go after higher rank players or players that are a threat to mission, avoid the rookies, and never spawn kill unless it is something critical to mission like pinning down a super-ace while someone bombs the carrier.

It would be nice if the software automatically balanced ranks in games - I've been in some slaughters lately. If not by rank it could try to create Kill:Death ratio parity across teams.

I'll try Sky's throttle back, barrel roll trick. When caught in a circle, I've been trying to time the passes and do a barrel roll staight away from the other place and then sharp turn to have a long shot as they circle past me. My picture probably makes no sense...

And does it matter where you shoot the zepplin once the engines are down?

I had no problem understanding your drawing. :-)

When caught in a circling game I find it difficult to get far enough away from the enemy plane to get him into my sights.

To get out of it I quickly turn to the opposite side and start to fly away in a straight line for a couple of seconds. Then, when he is busy aiming I suddenly make a loop to get behind him. Works fine with most medium rankers, but not so well with the best :-).

There is also the possibility to break off an endless circle by diving down and trying to scrape the enemy off against the ground, or even better, the water, where it's more difficult for him to judge the distance.

Seattle, you can shoot anywhere once the engines are down. Slow down and get a bit of altitude. If you do it right you can rack up a good 1K on a single run at it.
