This is my last response to you on the topic. I should know better than to try and dicuss something with you as you seem to want nothing more than to twist people words to say what YOU want them to instead of what they really wanted to. That or your ignore the points you can stand against.
No response to me has been without logical holes. And it doesn't just ruin my fun, it ruins the fun of everyone on both sides who wants to fight.
Someone one elect as spokesman for the "fighter types"? As someone pointed out earlier in the thread, HiTech has said that the game is about ticking people off.
While I agree the "fighting" has dropped off over the years, making the hangers invulnerable isn't going to make other players fight, it will just increase the hordes and make more targets, but NOT fights. You want targets, the off line drones reappear after you kill the pilot for ever.
A rumor based on ignorance and my call-sign. 
When I first got interested in ACM, I thought a well-flown energy fight against a more maneuverable aircraft the highest expression of the art...and I still do. But eh, I fly however seems tactically appropriate or just plain fun. I estimate I fly "stupid" rather than "smart" more than the average stick in this game these days. Watch the film? That is the sort of thing I do for training when the DA lake is actually alive.
Yes lets jump to the "defense" and ignore the point of the comment. Removing the ability to "pick" and other wise engage player would remove someones type of fun would it not? What would players like Rocky and Skyyr do?
The K/D part of score can indeed easily be gamed by timid flying. Kills-per-hour is a better measurement, although I admit is not entirely fair either. And are are you arguing for some sort of high-ground because you don't do desperate base defense? 
But all that is tangential.
I never mentioned ANYTHING about K/D. Why you would bring that up I don't know. You mentioned my K/H numbers and I pointed out that they are most likely due to me upping 25 miles or more away from a fight and taking the time to fly and grab TO the fight. As I seem to dive into the horde more often than not with out a wingman I like the advantage of some alt/E to help me last a bit longer.
Sometimes I don't think we are flying in the same MA. I can find other players in fighter planes who are willing to kill me most of the time. They provide me with adequate challenge in the trying get kills department. The only snag I run into with it frequently is hangars having been killed by some tool-shedder.
Maybe we are not. Time zones make a huge difference in game play. I too can find player willing to shoot up my planes. More often than not it's 5-6 to 1. Some times I get one or two, more often than not I don't. You seem to be a "score guy" I'd almost be willing to bet I get more assists than any other player in the game. My aim sucks, I dive into impossible odds, and I spend most of my time defending. As I already come from a rear base, toolshedders dropping the hangers aren't much of a problem for me.
You have pointed out a problem in the game....well with game play. There are less and less fights to be had. Stopping bomber guy from dropping hangers isn't going to make more people fight. Instead they will drop the ack.....most likely with carpet bombing with little bombs, 3 guys in formations dropping a crap load of 100 lbs. Then these same bombers will circle the field now deacked and vulch while the rest of the horde does what it normally does. Your not going to get off the ground with 9 B17's circling the field at 200 feet.
