Kosher_Locust 120 Report post Posted August 23, 2022 I offer a simple four step program to let go of your inner sanctimony and embrace your inner strafing warthog. First LEARN You do have to learn the game a bit, both the mechanics and how it works climbing tech trees Practice makes perfect. Figure out what you want to do--gets lot of kills, get a high K/D ratio, or just have fun and not get blown up too much Find a combo of planes and air forces that works for you and stick with it for awhile, then go up a step Figure out controls, the right ammo to use, retaining or expending energy in turns, and attack angles Second ACCEPT You will have bad days You will run into spawncampers, team killers, and people wanting to ram you for fun. Your skills will plateau at some point. You will run into someone better than you who pummels you You will run into people who only want to aggravate you You will have fights where it seems like you're the only one with an under 350 ping. You will make bad choices or do stupid things Third LET GO In the end it is just a game, no one will give you a job or applaud you on a stage from your high scores. Even your most amazing game won't matter in a few days. The really obnoxious players eventually leave or change their handles and skulk off somewhere. It's okay to play at a lower BR than what "experienced" players do, or even just quit the game for awhile. It's the planes you like and the playing style you enjoy, not what the "Git Gud" people tell you. It's better to try and fail than pretend you never made a mistake. You don't want to remember endless rounds of bad blood, and avoid getting into those situations. Fourth EMBRACE Playing just to enjoy the game, and if fate deals you a good turn then go for the win. Your tastes and ideas change, you may love one particular plane but it's okay to fly others. Experiment in fighting style and patterns, you may surprise yourself. Bad days aren't permanent, but then neither are good days, each will come around. It's what you got out of the match that matters. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
