I like to see how high a rank I can get without undue effort. I know i'll never top-20, I have no patience or skill for it.. (stupid fighter rank)

I do like to watch my K/D ratios tho, just to gauge my efficacy.

I lately just hang around 100 overall rank, doing what i do.

So, I do play for score, I guess, but unfortunately one of my funnest drinking activities as of late is shooting at cv's with shorebats, and 5" gunning from cv's, both of which dont count for any score. So i guess i don't care about score.

I set a different goal for myself every tour. The squad I'm in has ribbons and metals you can earn for different achievements. Some of them are based on fighter and attack scores, others are not. It's fun for me because it's like playing a game within a game.
I just try to kill what needs to be killed, bomb what needs to be bombed, and capture what needs to be captured. Overall game score don't mean a whole lot to me anymore. :salute

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.

I play for fun.  It just so happens it's more fun to shoot other guys down than to get shot down myself so I usually score well too.  I also have fun playing every aspect of the game, which escalates that score thing.
I edit a lot of my posts.  Get used to it.

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.

Do you play for score or fun.

Fun, primarily.  I do usually try and see how high I can get my K/D at the beginning of a tour before being shot down.

Ripped the wings off a 262 with 68.00 early this week.  :(

You know what I love?

How everyone on this forum:
1.  changes country to the one with the lowest numbers
2.  always lifts from the field with the smallest green darbar and largest red darbar
3.  never runs from fights
4.  rarely HO's
5.  and finally, doesn't care about score and only flies to have fun

Funny, this runs quite contradictory to my experiences in the MA.

These threads are quite amusing in their own way.   :aok

 i think that is because its a very small portion of all that fly in MA, that come to the Boards, but you are right the Majority of MA is exact opposite.
