...... Runing away away to avoid getting killed is a legitimate defense, I mean nobody wants to get killed eveytime they up and that includes me, but when you runaway as a matter of policy just to protect your streak, it changes the object of the game. and ah knows that posting that statistic will motivate more people to improve theirs.

hi semp,
be sure that woulnd change ANYTHING inside the gamplay. I watched peoples scores over years, i was an official trainer over years at warbirds. I trained people in all kind of things, most focused on how get or keeping an advantage during a fight. Doesent matter which attack method you prefer. I teached a lot of new guys how to getting better. for example, if you are going into a turn fight, one makes his flat turns all the way, the opponent is doing low and hi yoyos its clear who will win the fight. afterwards i watched all time my students scores, i looked at them without telling them, just as a mirror for myself, watching if i would help improving their skills. i tracked results by stats for each student, at the end of the day i found out i was abble to give most guys the ability of better shooting, better acm, better defense manouvers and more. but i also found out, i didn't changed their gameplay at all. some stays low like before, preffering the pure TB all time, other climbed to the stars like before.
another example: yesterday evening i caped a base with my squadies, some other guys where there in gv, we began the attack inbetween 2 fields at 20 k, after 30 minutes we pushed them back, the base was under total controll by us. BUT lot of cons took of in all kind of planes, most heavy planes, i bet with 100% fuel. we killed them all. Why didn't these guys simply took 5 minutes and came in high from a field close? Why they didn't take a zero or a spit 5 instead of a full loaded jug to defent a base? the answer is, they just wants to have quick action, they wanna shoot at something just after 10 second taking off. the rest is missing knowledge. they have no intrest in spending 5 minutes climbing. they have to intrest going into the TA and spend some hours on training there. Its ok for me, as long they have their own fun! I am not responsable for the lack of knowledge, we all know it takes a long time til you have the skills to have an answer why things working or even not. thats one reason why ppl fly aso many years online, because there is allways something to learn, something new to find out. But there are also those unwilling Guys, who didn't wants to think about themself, they don't reflect their on fault, they don't learn when something went wrong. As long as they like what they do there, fine for me. But to resume that others has to change their gameplay because YOU don't like it is totaly a little too selfish, isn't it??
to come to the final Question, do you realy think they would change it because we have a streak number somewhere inside the scores?? Do you realy do?
To make it short, the answer is truly, you can be 100% sure, a simple number which is shown at the scorepages, but didn't displayed on landing kills, will not affect the gameplay!
It only will satisfy ppl like me, who like the thrill surviving as long as possible.
