Just fyi, I think the scoring aspect of the game gives absolutely no insight into how skilled a player is. I know that top 100 anything in the ranks means diddly.

I met up with one of our top 25 ranked fighter pilots the other night. He was in a K4 BnZing friendlies over a friendly vbase. I came in in a K4 myself with a few K alt advantage. He saw me coming from outside icon range and took off running. As I hit icon range he started stick stirring like a n00b. I chopped throttle, waited and when he finally quit stirring the stick and tried a break move I nailed him in full profile with my 30mm.
Definately NOT a top 25 fighter pilot regardless what the rank says.
