Your "english", I have to say, is better than some who post on this board, and they were born and brought up in the USA.
Ok, let finish with that.
My English is really bad. If we were speaking in my native language you would definitly feel shadows of irony, sarcasm, mockery, etc.
Yea, I know, that score and rank means nothing. But you, guys, are so fanatically convinced that you or "another guy" (Leviathan, Urchin, Shane, etc.) are so great and skilled that is just funny to read! You are so seriosly feel aggrieved when somebody insults you here or on ch200 or so strong whine about HO and horde dweebs and lack of ACM skills among majority of players that I just can't pass by without trying to tease you.
Seriously.
1. IT IS A GAME! Nothing more. Any "good pilot" you are talking about is not a good pilot. He is just a good player. I have friend who tried to play AH for couple of days and gave up. He told me that it is boring, he was killed too many times and couldn't kill anybody. But I am absolutelly confident that he would kill any of that "high skilled pilots" like Levi or Shane. In IL-2. He has been playing IL-2 online since first release 3-4 hours every day. Is this hint clear? Do you understand what I am talking about?
2. This world is not white and black only. Statements like "rank is nothing, skills are everything" are simply wrong because everything is relative. If you get your rank without thinking about your rank your rank reflects your skills very precisely. If you have sharpened your skills for 1v1 combat it tells nothing about your ability to help your country men to win the war. I don't want to say that your skills won't help. I want to say that it is not enough.
Ok. I have done. Happy New Year everybody. I wish you fight, kill and get killed innumerable number of times. It is possible now in our virtual world. I wish you never be in combat where word "innumerable" just has no sence.
