I don't feel it's as rare as you think....and in my mind the higher speed ACM is a lot of fun.  It's not as common as the low speed stuff seen in low furballs I will grant you.

an "aggressive" Bnzer...is most definitely rare in the MA.....I am not saying there are none....by any means....but far more often you will get guys who take a pass go 3-4k away and then make another HO pass rinse and repeat ad nauseam.....that is most prevalent BnZer you will find....

I very much enjoy fighting an aggressive BnZer....I know right away if that 190 or 51 is gonna be a good fight or not....I enjoy when they do it aggressively....when I see him go inverted and turn back into me at 2k....I know it will be a good fight.....win or lose.....and damn that is all I want.

Aggressive BnZ is the only way to do BnZ.  Timid BnZ never bleeds the enemy's E out as they just rebuild it during the long egress and ingress.  Timid BnZ relies on catching somebody doing something else.

Yeah, that style should be called "drive by shootings". It's a valid tactic for many-on-many fights, but it's not the art of energy fighting.

I would say I am an aggressive BnZ'er, but rarely do I find them when the tables are turned. 

My normal profile (in my nooish P-47M) is to come in high, 18K normally, to scare off all the Pee-51's, and Run-90's (they hit the deck when anything co-alt/E arrives).  Then I work my way down trying to keep my M in the performance wheel house till all the red guys are gone.  Rinse-repeat...

I have been trying to branch out though.  I have kills in 18 different fighters this month so far, only 4 or so that have made this list...
