In real life buffs were sitting ducks
So they are in AH, unless flying at 25k+ (which is rare) or in tightly packed formations
In all of 2011, the total fighter K/D vs heavy bombers (yes, the big fat fellows only) was 3.47. Guess what fighter vs fighter K/D is

And this even though the majority of fighter pilots insist on attacking the buffs from 6 oclock.
Interestingly, there is no fighter type in AH that had a K/D vs heavy bombers of 1.0 or less.
And when I was in my "two weeks" I quickly found out that the quickest way to get any kills... was to hunt bombers. Fighters twist and turn, bombers fly steady, giving you the intitiative the ability to dictate the engagement. It's just that most pilots simply refuse to take an additional 3-5 minutes to get into a better attack position than the good ol plain 6 attack.
A noob can score kills easily in a buff but not in a fighter..
Why don't they do it then?
