I don't feel dangerous. Was just killed like a blindfolded noob by Teflon's Tiffie...

It's all relevent Karaya.  Sure he flies La 7's more than anything else, and may be no threat at all to you in the sky, but his 706 kills so far this month probably frustrated at least a few enemy pilots.  This topic will go on and on just like the other 'Hot buttons" in the community.  Everyone is different (thank God), and that's the only thing that surely is not going to change.

He is as timid as they come, I can careless about the number of kills.   Landing 2 kills consistantly in an La7 is like taking sand to the beach.   Then again, he runs from 1 vs 1's consistantly too.

Any noob can get their rank down to below 50 without ANY trouble at all. They don't have to know how to "fly" they just have to know how to milk points out of the current system we have now.

Funny thing how the people who always want to get rid of rank are the ones who are ranked low.

Well, after all you have to kill a lot of other players to get overall rank <50 You can't do that without at least some flying skill
Mayn noobs are actually trying and fail

I don't know about today's noobs, but I would have certainly not been able to that in my first months...

Hush, you timid high ranked player.

[Stampf]

Karaya, you are probably right, as you clearly know him better than I do.  He's not the point though.  The point is everyone plays differently, he WAS dangerous to the two peeps he killed before running home (?).

Bucky, Half of Attack, Half of Vehicle, and ALL of Fighter have to do with killing the enemy, so I disagree with you as far as "honest game play" goes, but respect your view on the topic.

Does hit% in fighter scores only count if you hit a fighter and not some building at a factory? I'm asking because I'm not sure.

[Stampf]

Yes, yes it does.

Some good comments.  It seems to boil down to this.

Do we want Survivalists?

I would vote yes because it's more realistic and it's the kind of game I want.

Doesn't Fighter Town provide enough quick fights?

[Toad]

I would think the survivalist faction would be wanting TOD.

A totally survivalist MA would be, to me, boring beyond belief.

Let me answer with the words of the late philosopher Robert Palmer:

It takes every kind of people...
