Lol. I have heard his complaints, and frankly I agree. Certainly he is used to destroying me most of the time. Recent bugginess and slow flying over water, plus my own random connectivity from skipping around the country during the week, is introducing noise and randomness to what otherwise might be more deterministic outcomes (he shoots, I die).
But I've also been playing much more recently and added some skills, one of which is particularly useful in head-on and another which is helpful in chasing. I've also become much better at leading my targets. I wish I had done it all before, as these skills help a lot. I've been surprised to see his plane in my sights more than usual, but I figure it's a mix of my new-found chase-odds-tipper and the random noise that is the current Dogfight Game.
