My last post states the truth, if others disagree It shows they did not do their home work or in denial.
The game has become fiercly lopsided, I understand from some of the old school guys that 3 years ago it was the bish that were lopsided advantage country back in AH1. The game changes part of the coolness of it, but this chest beating ego maniac crap is rediculous. Brag about what a big shot you are, kill a couple of good sticks to try to get your 3 seconds of the spotlight from the system announcing you landed your 9 kills in a LA7!!!!! and now you suppose to be my hero, sorry it don't work that way. The ego's on this game are hillarious, everyone thinks they are a legend.
Accomplishing high rank in just an idividual category I feel is a good accomplishment, let alone in all 4 categories. I just don't think that is something that should be crapped on. It's the age old battle, talk crap about the guys on top, "I could do that if I wanted to", "it ruins the game", or "rank means nothing I was top ranked pilot in tour 42", or "it's boring trying to keep your rank", etc.... When in reality it usually relates back to cuase you flat out didn't have the patience, lost your temper due to a lack of concistent preformance, time, figured out how the game is scored, lack of ability, or A.D.D. as to why you don't think they matter.
I watched a top rank pilot over this last weekend have a couple of bad sorties in fighter and got mad and decided to duff his fighter score so he wouldn't have to worry about it for the rest of month, and then claim cause rank don't mean anything anyways. That's the same attitude I hear from most of these guys, "I fly for rank until something goes wrong then claim rank is squat."
