This should be interesting. i play for fun. i could care less if i get shot down. they give me a shiny new plane when it happens. If we decide to attack a base while im in the air, i think nothing of ejecting. just my version of fun.

besides, i cant play to save my life so i get shot down most of the time anyway. making it back to the runway is not a priority. thats why i never run. i always fight and either win or die.

Pfft.   You act like this is a game?   You should see my WWII flight suit I use when flying.   This is FAR FROM a game.

I thought the main reason to play a game was for the fun, at least that's how I approach any game I play.  To each his own I guess.

Pfft.   You act like this is a game?   You should see my WWII flight suit I use when flying.   This is FAR FROM a game.   

You should see my flying helmet.  Found a surplus WWII USAAF flying helmet on eBay, removed the ear muffs and put in the headphone speakers and boom mike I had laying around.  Of course, I only wear it when my girlfriend isn't around, otherwise i'd never hear the game sounds over her laughter.  My next project is to replace the boom mic with a throat mic and getting a white scarf.

I used to play for score, until I had an epiphany--THAT precludes one from having fun

not necessarily. You can do play with an eye on score and still have fun. If you get fixated on rank, things may go downhill though...

dont care about my score...........never look at my score...........it's ALL about fun.... told myself I'd review my thinking after the first year here.........and honestly........I don't see that changing.  I would not do half the things I do if I cared about my score...


I laugh when I hear guys yell at other guys for "stealing a kill" and that kind of thing........ that's soooooooo not my bag.

score is one of those things that some play for and others could care less.  many who love scores and rank have a hard time believing others don't care at all.  Those who don't like rank and scores have a hard time understanding the appeal.  some believe it is a form of bragging rights and i've heard when your out for a night on the town (score permitting) you can sweet talk the ladies.

In AH, for me, I just like to get home, open up a cold beer, sit down and fly a few sorties with my squad.  look for some stuff to shoot, maybe have a few laughs, and thats it:)
