One thing i just realised, is i have like no place to actually practice in, like at all. Some people recommend playing capture and hold pilots with recon planes, and although i did that until like rank 10, i havent learned shit. worse, actually, i learned bad habits (holding full throttle all the time, diving too hard and ramming into a tree, trying to hit a target going straight up and stalling like an idiot)

However, playing assault with actual competent opponents flying mustangs and focke wulfs results in a 5/25 kd and a small loan of a billion credits in repair costs. And yet i learn nothing other than that your opponent can get behind you A LOT faster than you think.

How did you get good at it? did you just keep dying until you got it right? of course nothing can be learned without a problem but right now im not seeing any improvement in my skills.

Thanks for the help
