...then there some like me that will fight but just are no damn good at it :)   Had a nice 262 vs. 262 fight this weekend - I forget who it was, I died horribly after a few minutes but it was fun anyway.

Yup... always check out Kills/Time in the fighter rank area, tells you who flys like a nancyboy at 20k, and who is skimming the tree tops.

I am not sure Slap.  I was flying with TC last night (or getting him killed would be more descriptive) and after several low flights where we were engaged by atlist 8 or 10 cons (lots of fun) we decided to hit them from above.  After 21 minutes at 10k I had 8 HO and run attempts.  I mean, they did not turn back ever.  They flew out of range.  Finally I run out of fuel and diched.

Looking at the film, they were all good pilots (if you look at pilot rank)

Sounds like a nice idea :)
After all, the real pilots did keep their kill counts even when they were shot down.

This would naturally only affect the kill count, not points or perks. It would be fun for sake of kill streaks. Points and perks would still go along the current system. Stats should be updated to include the kill strek section.

Kills could be kept only when exiting on a friendly runway or hangar like nowadays.

The game system should be updated to allow picking up pilots and riding on others' vehicles or planes to make it work.
