So you would rather eveyone flew on the deck? Ever heard the phrase, "Altitude is life"? Why do you think it was considered an advantage having altitude? I'm just curious.
Heres the word of the day "game". This isnt real life when you die you go back to the tower and fly again. You dont need to fly to 10k to fight. Well I should say I dont need to. We all know there are some that feel they are good when they come in with altitude and pick. Kinda like this guy tango who came in on my Ki84 one time from the ackackosphere in his pony, lost all his alt and speed, then ran a sector and a hlaf to his base.
Its only ok if he is the one higher. "TK logic"
You have no room to talk Mr. Vf27k. The only time I ever go above 5k is when Im chasing someone up there. I dont need altitude to fight and kill, but Im not ganna let someone talk trash after they come in 5k above everyone else in a spit no less.
