Especially when the MA is so full of STAT potatos, too afraid to actually engage in a fight they might not win. Always making sure to fly in large groups of LA7s & spits with alt.
I always have to spend a few minutes trying to antipate where there will be an actual battle. Often once I actually find a battle, it is short lived, as1 side gains momentum with huge numbers of alted la7s, & the other side gets outnumbered & looks for an easier fight. YAWN!
Doesn't seem like all that long ago, people were looking for a FUN time flying a combat sim. Now it seems like its mostly alot of unpaid-professionals, fightin as score-potatos trying to impress some unknown score-pimp.

i agree with you sir, except in the remark about spitfires. i am myself, a spit lover/dweeb, but not becuase i cant fly anything else. i love the spit becuase of two reasons:
1: im brittish. enough said
2: becuase it is, for me, the ultimate furball machine. too slow to run away. too manouverable to be an easy kill.
and i live for the furballs and smaller fights.
in my defence i would say that i rarely if ever fly my little dweeb plane above 10k and almost exclusively i fly it alone.
so my objection is with your comment that spits are score potatos and strat monkeys. this is simply not true.
LA7 is a plane which is also considered a lame ride. whilst i agree many a newbie, or unskilled pilot may fly this bastad plane, we must accept that there are certain players that have made it an art form and therefore deserve respect for doing so. notable in my limited experience, one such pilot is 'Spazzter'
The Red Barron in WW1 flew in the Fokker Dr7 tri-plane mostly or the Albatros bi-plane. both of which were certainly in what we might call the dweeb catagory, but he flew in such a way that you knew he could outfly you with feathers stuck to his arms and a 9mm pistol!
and finaly may i point out that there are an equal amount of dweeb straters that use ponys, lightnings, corsairs and jugs for the same strat based stupidity.
my point in all this being: all planes are dweeb planes, its the pilot that makes them not.
I loved your bit about the score potatos and pimps. well funny!
