Ahhh, you have stumbled onto their evil little secret here Boxboy!
This is how you rack up meaningless stats when you fly with the
475th. LOL Now pay attention
It took many months of
espionage to unearth the 475th's top ten list. We lost many
an agent in the attempt but we eventually bribed one of them
with a quarter and a cigarette and got them out.
======================================
475th's Top 10 Fighting Principles"How to Fight When The Kill is all That Matters"1 - ALWAYS look for fights that are already in progress so you can
slip onto the tail of a fighter engaged in a pursuit and easily
kill them. This is the REAL reason the 475th cherishes furballs:
for the easy kills and stat whoring. This is the GOLDEN RULE.
2 - ALWAYS look for easy targets, preferably aircraft that are
vintage 1940. Flying a superior plane will almost always get
you a kill. Flying against a contemporary aircraft leaves too
much to chance.
3 - ALWAYS look for aircraft that are leaving the fight and returning
to base. Chances are that they are either damaged, out of ammo,
low on fuel or the pilot is wounded. In either case, a kill is
easily obtained. Any kill is a good kill.
4 - NEVER attack alone. A 1v1 fight leaves too much to chance.
Getting and landing kills so we can see our name in lights
is all that matters.
5 - ALWAYS vulch whenever possible. Vulching allows you to rack
up a large number of kills in relative safety so you can see your
name in lights and impress your peers with your gaming skill
and statistics prowess.
6 - NEVER attempt to deack a field or attack ground targets. Doing
so will not get you a kill and will only expose you to harm
so don't bother. Let other players take on those tasks so you can
vulch when they are done. You must have no qualms about sacrificing
countrymen so you can get kills.
7 - NEVER concern yourself with a base capture. Use those
attempting to take a base as diversionary bait to allow you to apply
rule #2 and get some easy kills.
8 - if another countryman is in trouble and outnumbered
DO NOT attempt to help him. Doing so will only guarantee you
a death and will deny you the precious statistic of
a kill. Besides, we don't care about our country's objectives:
we only want to harvest kills so we can see our name in lights and
drool over our stats.
9 - NEVER auger your plane: your stats are too important to
jeoparize your numbers by ejecting and getting a new plane.
ALWAYS fly back to a friendly base and land your kills - no matter
how much time it takes.
10 - ALWAYS remind players who don't notice how great you
are on their own, that you are the best fighter pilots that the
game has ever seen. Be sure and point out their oversight to
them and show them your stats. We play this game for stats.
Our one and only goal is to shoot down easy targets, land kills,
see our name in lights and accrue statistics.
====================================
So endeth the lesson...
