And yet after you furball for five minutes its old and boring already. People that do it repeatedly over and over really have a low threshold of entertainment. The real challenge is doing what no one really wants to do and thats go after multi-gun platforms up high where the odds are more even and I know it requires patience most of you dont have.
Its really surprising to see the number of bomber pilots that dont have patience too. They climb for an hour but as soon as they meet a tough fight and lose their first one or two planes they bail.
Now thats fun! 
This kind of game just fascinates me in how different people get enjoyment from different things. To me, the full description of flying a bomber is pretty much, 'Climb to alt. Wait a while. Press 'O'. Calibrate your bombsight. Press secondary fire when the + crosses what you want to blow up. Press 'O'. Land.' Occasionally try to shoot down a plane that comes up to you. For the way my brain works, that's just not enough fun for me, although I do enjoy the gunning aircraft part of it.
To me, 'Furballing' is ever changing depending on the plane I'm flying, the planes they're flying, how they're coming in, etc etc. You can never fight in the same furball twice. Maybe it's because I'm just not that good, but I can't fathom it getting old.
Buff hunting is fun too, because some of those guys are really good at making it tough to get them. The higher they're flying, generally the more challenge you're in for, and it's fun to try to get them without them getting you.
I look at my K/D mostly out of curiosity, and slightly as a measure of how well I've been doing. A K/D of 5 can be bad if the vast majority of what I've been doing in a tour is buff hunting. I can be quite happy with a K/D of 1.5 or 2 if I've been doing a lot of upping into vulch fests.
