Without counting death, more would HO than do now.
Perhaps, but many more might not run so much. Ho's are easy to avoid. Runners are harder to catch. IT may be true that runners will always run because it's a ego thing. But When I got off to a good start one tour and decided to see how well I could do in fighter rank, I made a lot of choices that were great for game play like:
Not shooting at objects. (lowers hit percent even though it a good thing to do)
Not chasing high Buffs (lowers Kills/hours even though it help my team not lose bases)
Not fighting when out numbered. (even though fighting is good fun for the bandits.)
Not finishing fights when my plane got damaged. (even though it was no fun for bandits to chase me all the way home so I could get a land or ditch)
Not Fighting Off peak hours (lowers kills/hour because there are few targets. even though the off peak guys would like someone to fight.)
Not bailing out when in flight and the fight develops at another base (Even though team is getting horded and needs the help)
These are some of the choices I had to make improve rank. If I'm making them, I better others do as well. Just saying.
