In no particular order:
1. Spits and N1Ks will no longer be the annoying guys who always manage to stick to your tail like glue and dance away from your gunnery passes. Instead, they are your main source of nourishment. It's always refreshing to see a guy actually try to outturn you on a sustained turn- the easiest, most stable shot opportunity of all in AH (even I can hit them and my gunnery sucks)
2. You know that every kill you get is a humiliation to the other guy. The only way a Zeke can get a kill on someone is if the poor sucker willingly comes near you and chooses to stallfight instead of just leaving you in the dust. A patient guy with good gunnery in nearly any other plane will smoke your tailfeathers nearly every time. Luckily, patient guys with excellent gunnery are rarely seen in the MA and probably hanging around at 30k anyway, whereas suckers do actually grow on trees
3. There is no way you can extend out of the fight anyway, so you don't have to worry about K/D or tactics for survival. Just dive in and enjoy.
4. You will never get frustrated by a 25k bomber's tail guns dismantling you at extreme range. If you ever happen to be that high, they will outrun you anyway and you can't get into their gun range even if you try =)
5. It's good for lazy guys. You can forget to pull up your gear at takeoff, hit autoclimb, go get a beer, start combat and never even notice your gear is down (happened to me once).
6. You are the king in the weeds. You should be, your engine is probably upgraded from a weedwhacker.
7. Nothing vulches quicker than a zero making a tight, 120 mph orbit around a spawn point. All the boom and zoomers who have to use 5 milers for their reversal for the next vulch run will be left out in the cold as you rack up kill after kill in front of their noses.
8. Trash talk. How often do you get to say things like "All you know is running you Boom-and-Zooming SpitV dweeb! Slow down and fight like a man!"
9. Shooting someone down after you have run out of cannons and the .50, just tickling him to death with the single 7,92mm. Simply a pleasure to savor.
10. Another good thing for the lazy guys- it's first on the plane selection list so you never have to search for it.
And there are more, but I'm tired of writing. Fly a Zero, float like a butterfly, sting like a bee. The girls will love you for your manly demeanor, your countrymen will wonder at your skill and your enemies will cover their heads in shame after you have shot them down.
In short, fly more zekes if you are stressed with AH. It's more fun than you imagine.
