Dont feel Hijacked
IMHO... what you are seeing is just a natural progression of a portion of the gaming population. They are "Meta-Gaming" Which is using the game to play the game. I have played several kinds of games, flight sims (Air Warrior I, II, III, IIIMV, AHII, F-117, F-15, F-18), FPS (Call of Duty I, II, HALO), FRPG's (DAoC, WOW, EQ) and they are all represented in there.
These are the players that use what ever capabilities they can squeeze out of the game mechanics to avoid getting biffed. Like in FPS games they jump into a crowd of enemy players and do the Jump/Strafe/Circle Boogaloo. Using the mechanics of the game that allows them to hit your toon since you are not bouncing your hit bubble all over creation and you cant hit them because the algorythim used to solve the equation in the sofware code sees them as not at the location where your bullets pass when you fire at them. Then they get on the boards and pound there chests about how they biffed 25 players with a 20 round clip.
These Loser Dweeb Punks are doing the same thing only different game different technique but same effect in AHII. I am new to AHII, just started flying Friday of last week and already I have seen "Jukin-Baton Twirlly-Whirlly Egg Beater Summarsault Stick Jerkin Flying" by some real dweebs. Not that I have ANY talent at all behind the stick of a Combat Aircraft but I refuse to play the game that way. My choice, everybody makes their own choice about this.
Dont let it get ya down. Everywhere ya go there is that 10% that just cant seem to get with the program. I have seen a lot of really good flyers in here in just the past few days though so I know I can follow somebody elses lead and learn how to fly better and have more fun.
Just my thoughts on this subject.
