Not that there isn't a small degree of strategic manipulation involved in score whoring, but you should test your theory in the MA before suggesting it's easy!

Sure, let's see it. Can you maintain it month after month? Can you play the same average number of hours you usually play and still maintain it or do you just milk run 5 hours a month and quit?

A hundred?  What happened to 20-30? A hundred is pretty easy for anyone that plays every night. Lots of practice.

50 will be harder because of the competition, not cuz of your squad.

Here's the thing, we all know the score can be "manipulated" to some degree. what it comes down to is a personal challenge more than a competition between the "top" players.

Obviously there are those who simply play the stats, but those same people I wager, rarely put themselves in a position where a team mate depends on them. Not that they should be faulted for this. Too many people put themselves into situations with no regard for the risk to themselves let alone the risk to the team.

You can state that the score can be manipulated all you want, and be correct. What you cant do is compare your #1 rank in the ww1 arena to being number 1 in the MA and say it's easy.

I'm not not defending score whoring but neither do I have a problem with it. It's not "easy" if you play fair, and even less so if you actually put yourself on the line for your team on a regular basis.

If you'd just fly and have fun you'd be surprised what can happen.

If you worry about what anyone else thinks it'll become work and no fun.

youre missing something. first thanks for trolling you lose :aok

second i said i did have a score of 20-30 once to prove anyone can do it. i never said i could go back there (due to squadron stuff like i said).

third off i never said it was easy to be number one i said it was easy to manipulate score so stop putting words in my mouth. are you missing the point that score doesnt matter or do you just love trolling just to make your internet chest bigger? :ahand

Do you know how i did this?

They're one and the same. Obviously not a concept you can grasp.

second i said i did have a score of 20-30 once to prove anyone can do it.

You are right about one thing though, if you can do it, anyone can.

I lowered my ranking to around 100 from 300-400 not by flying differently but by paying more attention to select proper fighter/attack modes.
