You use a BoB documentary to suit your stance based in lunacy to begin and mock those who had a whole hell of a lot at stake in WWII? Also champ, the Poles/Germans are the only exception in most cases of hatred, but not for the reasons you think they are.
See here, from 3:10 - 3:34:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=klyqltS4Uvo&t=190"I could see the fires that the Luftwaffe had started on this, their first raid on London. I had not realized that I could feel so deeply; but, at that moment, I would have butchered any German I could lay my hands on. I was beginning to understand the attitude of the Poles."
-- 303 Canadian Captain, John Kent
So now Canadians are an exception too? The truth is that almost everyone here preaching about "honor" in a warzone has never been to war or served in a military. There is nothing glorious about it, and there is not some unspoken code of honor between you and your enemy. You are fighting to get back alive and you will do anything to make that happen.
Exactly as shown in the documentary, the pilots who had not experienced personal loss only cared to shoot down the enemy aircraft. Once London was bombed and the pilots experienced the same loss of life and property that the Poles had, it became personal. They
hated their enemy, and they wanted them dead. Ask anyone who's been to combat and experienced loss of life, and the vast majority will show the same attitude. Chivalrous acts of 1v1 combat and honor are for those who think they know about war and for the dead. We are discussing war, not jousting.
You are not a pilot
I most certainly am.
you are not in a war
No, but this is a combat simulator. The same general rules and tactics apply.
But what you lack in knowledge, you make up for in failing to cash checks, that your mouth cannot write.
Thus far, you've claimed I am not a pilot (I am), that my example only applied to the Poles (a Canadian confirmed the exact same hatred for the Germans, and I can find several other examples). That would make you 0 for 2. Further, promoting the use of historical tactics is not in any way misguiding or uneducated. They work because they're the most effective.
If you consider a pixelated cockpit to be your way of eliminating the enemy, I suggest seeking professional counsel by way of a psychiatrist. Because you're doing it wrong.
I consider a pixelated cockpit to be the way to defeat a pixelated enemy in a pixelated air combat simulator. Logically, this makes perfect sense. Only when you try to animate concepts of "honor" and "respect" and illogically attach them to actions such as where you shoot a player or how you engage them does it become, well, illogical.
