Bah to Simulation 30.  Can’t see a goddamn thing.  Bullets are invisible against the ground below, and when I’m focusing intently on the space right in front of my Fairy to avoid stray aimed shots, the enemy planes blur into the background planes. It’s a short stage with no tricky bits when rank is as low as mine, so it should be a cruise.  Blindness precludes cruising.

My current plan actually involves suiciding on sim30, but that’s been unnecessary so far.  I’m dying regardless, generally repeatedly.  The suicide is to force sim40 as the next stage, and then sim50 as the final.  If you no-miss through 30, you go to 45 instead, a certified crotch-kicker.  As ever, all glory to ycw.
