Rank is meaningless, but....

You're kidding right? As an example, look at Lusche's score.  He's a scorepotato pure and simple.  He's playing for rank.  The proof is right in front of you.  Look at the time he spends in fighter mode as compared to attack. He has merely a handful of hours in fighter mode, the rest in attack.
 I'll bet if you check his stats you'll find that the ones that show the highest kill totals are perk rides. The only time he goes into fighter mode is when he can vulch and cherry pick(no doubt in a perk ride as well). It's the Shawk method of scorewhoring. It's effective, but it's a long way from being dangerous. There's such a difference.

You did name a couple of  decent sticks though.  Both elevenk and AKdogg are good stick, IMHO.

Steve,

My time in a fighter dwarfs my time in attack mode, and I don't chase rank mostly due to the time and boredom involved, however;  If Shawk shoots me down with his 190 in attack mode, vrs fighter mode, whats the dif?

Please put on grave marker "Died to a scorepotato in Attack mode".  My family will not feel so bad.

Of course that's a silly example and no one dies in this game, but the whole point is alot of people play it like they do.  Some guys just wanna dogfight, pure and simple and know another plane is just a re-up away.  Maybe that also effects the way they play, fly, fight, in the exact opposite way that trying to make it home effects others.

I was explaining my position how they are scorepotatos and play for rank and are not among the "dangerous". That's it.

Hey can't I be dangerous as well ?

I fly always in attack mode because I'm to lazy to switch modes in hangar. Only exceptions are of course planes which only score in fighter mode like 262, 163, C205 or similar rides, or when I KNOW im exclusively buff hunting. So naturally I have more time in
"attack" mode. My seemingly high K/D is just a result of that - buff hunting.

But I guess flying in attack mode at all is sufficient to make someone a " scorepotato"


EDIT: But I truly share your doubts on classifying me as dangerous. Only to total noobs & buffs perhaps...

I think you are.

So do I.  Many a times Lynx has sent me a floating down from 20K.

The default mode for most planes is fighter mode, so you weren't too lazy to switch them to  attack mode.
Some scorepotatos make excuses, like you.

Hey, I was right. I could care less if you want to play for rank and scorepotato.  It's your $15.00. To come here and make up lame excuses is how you aren't one is crass.

Yikes.  no wonder I've never heard of you guys, you fly 10 to 15k over me.

Lynx can be found everywhere. Most often he has killed me just at treetop level over tanktown.

Well you just said you fly at 20k.  I don't go past 8 or 9 k. 'shrug'

Denial, one of the last bastions of the ashamed. I'm not sure why you fight the label of what you are. Shawk is unabashed in his scorewhoring. Don't waste my time any further with your excuses, just admit what you are... why is it such a big deal to you, socrepotato?  We're done here.
