Didnt see where I posted it was easy or how long it should take....
I do think that climbing for 45 minutes is:
A. A reflection on your plane choice...
OR
B. A waste of my time in general for 3 buffs...as in even if should take that long I cant see doing it.
Of course if it was a mission or something of the sorts I would reconcider that.

I agree with you Race...
Again as said in the initial thread, sometimes its a guessing chess game trying to figure out where and what route the BUFFS will take.
I like that challenge and sometimes like you said, a faster/better plane(for high alt) would of been the answer.
All this to simply say that its discouraging when you up and fly for several minutes(10-15-30...) and when you finally spot him, he bails...
HTC should create something that would discourage them from doing that. The new score board is a good example !
Bring those SAD players out in the open and let the STATS show WHY they rank so high !
I cannot deny that they have some skills. But the rankings doesn't really show the REAL SKILL LEVEL...(that goes for all pilots)
Anyway, I'm still enjoying myself....
And for those boring players, we will cross one day and be sharp and prepared...
My flying skills are always improving and I will be a serious threat to you who lacks of gunnery skills because you keep on bailing when confronted !

Salute All
