Do proxies and assists serve to help new players feel like they have a chance to become proficient? Kill strings in the text buffer are satisfying to us all. Proxies, well, I suspect everyone has had that one or two that made the string look even better. Still, why worry about it? Kills, assists and proxies are about validation. Early on some players need more than others to keep them paying that subscription. Later on, it may be the only thing going right in their lives from time to time.
You going to announce on 200 that your just landed 10 kills, 8 of them were because you happened to be diving on a mission of B29 that didn't clear a hill on take off? I once watched a past well known 262 vet from the tower rearming. It answered for me how he always landed so many kills and increased my respect for his 262 skill. 15 minutes later he landed 20 kills in his 262. On 200 I asked him how many rearms did it take. He lied and said "none"...........He also spent a lot of time in this forum shaming players for worrying about score and kill strings.
What is it you want from asking this?
