People who are obsessed with their statistics tend to be mean, selfish, and cheap.  They'll usually do anything to protect or pad their numbers, including "gaming the game."  They don't play nice, they only care about their own fun and no one else's.  And in the end, they don't have fun, either.  I know, because I was there.

I play for both score and rank to a degree and still have fun.  Of course I'm not that good at it (as my scores will attest to).  As long as I'm in the top 2-400 overall I'm a happy buckaroo and it's easy to get there while still helping my country and not "gaming the game" other than to the extent you have to play every aspect of the game to accomplish that.  I don't think of myself as mean, selfish or cheap as I'll often give up targets to others (far from "doing anything to pad" my scores).

So, each camp I make a couple buff runs, try to get a field capture in both a C-47 and a M-3, get a couple of attack kills and some attack damage and a few vehicle kills and some vehicle damage.  I can do all of these while simply playing the game against the enemys and it's a nice diversion from the way I spend the rest of my time; in fighters, mostly furballing (an almost sure way to pad your deaths).

I know how you feel.  Iam a new Player to AH, But not to Flight Sims. I played Warbirds for over 9 years And lost that loving feeling for the game just this Past Year.
  The Game was lacking in all areas I used to like. The only thing that kept me there was the people I got to know over the Years.

 Then The CO of my Squad decided on his own time to try out AH. He did this for a month and came back to tell the rest of us the good news. He had found a flight sim That he knew we would all like to participate In. We as a Squad where spending less time in our old flight sim. Which ment that we were not talking to eachother as much as we use to. Well to make this long story shorter. We are very happy to be a part of the AH community, And are addicted again. Having fun even when we get shot down.

 Thank you AH for helping me get my Addiction Back.

Same for pickers really.... you are basically saying you want them to play your way, not their way.  
  If you want to be honest, blame your SA failures rather than the pickers.  It's not the "pickers" fault you presented them with a target.

I don't mind a picker at all, generally if I'm just up against one at a time they die very easily!  You rarely see them actually fighting though, just buzzing around a fight looking for the easiest kill, usually one that's already engaged(Cherry), but nonetheless, if they lose their advantage they usually just bug on along on the deck until they're safey wafey again! WTG pickers!:aok

welcome to the dark side demonslayer.  guess in the big scheme of things doesn't really matter what you like to do the most....for me just flying around with my friends and getting into the most amount of trouble as quickly as possible is the thing that i find most fun.  course to others i would not be flying properly:)

I just returned to AH after an enforced break and I brought with me a new ethos. Have fun and let others have fun. If you want to HO me, ram me, go ahead, just have fun doing it and if I do the same to you, be sure to know I am smiling on the other end of the connection.

AH is a different game when you're smiling.

I am with you on this Tinman!  I don't care if I get any of thee above done to me as long as it is not one of those climb up to 20k and then fly into me crap.  I like hitting about 10k and cruise to the fight.  The way I look at it is if I am only at 10k and the nme is at 20k... he can't really HO me...  and your right, once you smile and start laughing about what happens in this game, you wonder why you get all worked up.

yup I haven't played very long but when I do start to get a little to wound up i realize I am mostly mad at myself for letting myself be hoed picked etc..


perspective determines whether a kill is a cherry pick or clearing a six for a countryman.

I like seeing a ho that I can avoid because I can usually get an advantage,  the ones that make me mad are the ones that are good at it and do me damage  lol

If some one (looks around at the AK's) shoots me down, I will usually go back to see if I can get them the next time (ie- fix my mistakes and try again)

if they get me too many times I move to a new area because it just gets embarrassing after awhile lol

Like  some -a guys I know.  They get to an advantageous position then try to force a plane into their particular style of fight.  When the other player doesn't oblige.... call them runner, if the other plane fights from an advantage, call them picker. This way you have an excuse for not killing them and an excuse if they kill you. It's an old script.
  I can't imagine how one could let a plane escape when flying the -a... it's a B pony and -1 merged into one plane, with the strengths of each. A wonderful ride.. I'd consider using the word "Uber" if it weren't for the poor views

You are on the right path.  Imo Do not listen to about 99.5% of the people that post here.
