Chances are, at first, cuts and mid-airs will be kinda rare. The someone will develop their depth perception to the point where they can see what is going on, and suddenly you'll have a mid-air almost every flight. That's part of the normal progression of flying combat. (beyond that, if you fly enough combat, your mid-airs start going back down as you start to see things earlier and are able to get out of the way and activly avoid mid-airs).
