Seriously though, I'd love to be good at fighter combat... but im not, I've tried getting better and I just suck at it for whatever reason.
Fighters/bombers rely on reflexes, IMO - you have to dodge fast, you have to aim fast, and I'm just not that kind of player. I think fighter combat relates more to first-person-shooter games, while capship combat relates slightly more to real-time-strategy games. In caps, speed isnt the biggest factor, it's positioning, environment, and weapon/ship setup. You dont have to be quick because you generally have the shielding and hull strength to survive a little bit of damage before going down; a luxury most fighters dont get.
And... to be perfectly honest... since I started flying fighters/bombers again, I've picked up more knowledge of capship tactics than I ever did flying a cap. I dunno why, but I notice how capship players are flying when I'm up close in a fighter, and I'm learning what I can to apply it when I get a cap again in 4.85 =)
