How complimentary! Unfortunately my 'peak skill' went long ago with the furball lake and Aces High 2. Arguably I should have left it lie at that point.
Perhaps this is off topic, but since my inbox has been inundated by just over a handfull of posts on this matter, I see it like this: the game provides fickle protection from getting the metaphorical 5h1t kicked out of you, picking, ganging, HOing, positional-circumstances, using ack to solve ACM-problems, that just goes with the territory that is good old AH. Doesn't really mean much for the most part. Just sweep the sand off your shoulders and get a new plane. Stoicism proposes that although you can often do little practically to influence the environment or events; you can do a great deal about how you process and deal with incidents internally. That a faster / more energetically-loaded aircraft can always force his fight on a slower, lower one is a matter of physics. That one person can insist to impose their beliefs and values on you, is a matter of you conceding that. Don't leave. Stay instead and do your thing.
All the best with it
Outstanding Nrshida! This is the best description of the 200 ego circus, I've seen.
