Does it ***really*** surprise anyone??? The player, the unit?
Nope. No surprise, but I think it's good to see it exposed and discussed.
I don't mind people who never land because they just want to fight. But these guys with their suicide jabo-porking and bomb-and-bailing simply degrade the game experience more than anyone. They are truly are the lowest common denominator -- the worst of Aces High.
The irony is to read the recruiting posts from some vGuys with claims of them changing their ways. But sadly this is the way they play -- a suicide-bomber's approach, with little or no regard for landing or surviving. For most of them, that mind-set and their squad culture will not change. Their self-inflicted curse is that the better players, those looking for improvement and more of a challenge, will continue to leave them. In a way, more exposure of this does make these "whines" somewhat productive.
On the bright side, I found vDallas recently without his hordling meat-shield around him, and after shooting him down, got 20 minutes of PM crying about how I "wasted my time" going after him and how "horrible at flying" I am. What a laugh riot that was. So, occasionally their lack of character does bring some enjoyment to the game.
