For the most part it's this simple but sometimes I blame myself for collisions even if only my opponent saw it, or vice versa.
Been covered before....you can't control what the other guy is doing.

 :rofl  Too funny,

Steve, All I can tell you is what I have seen, you can tell who is padding scores and who really cant fight without being in a horde.  8, 10 20 kills an hour does not constitute a good pilot or GV'r, just a gamer who has found ways around the scoring system and does not show true display of skill.  Are there some good pilots, yes.  Have they earned the hard way, yes.   Are there ways to game and pad the score, yes.  Are the scores reflecting scores / skill level properly, I would argue not.

Those of them that pad their scores are the ones in this discussion, and how were they doing it also.

Well if you spend some time with them sure.

 I didn't argue that. I asked how the top 100 people in the MA AVERAGE twice the kills per hour as you do. You claim they are timid, and that you are better than most of them. Frankly, this just doesn't add up.

Another thing, it seems you implied that I hide in the horde. Did you  mean this?

As far as your first sentence goes, trust me, all you have to do is pay attention to who your fighting with in the MA.  It doesnt add up because just what has been pointed out the way its scored and how you get it being gamey maybe?  Who knows but it surely doesnt reflect the actual skill levels you are up against when you fight them.

The second sentence, No, I have no idea where you hide or fly, if in a horde or not.  Do you go by the name Steve in the game?  Aw, I see your sig.

I do, I used your logic:  Does it suit you, or is the score system askew?

The top 100 guys overall... not even top fighter ranks, the top guys overall average about 8 kills per hour. This is about double what you get per hour. So how is it that these timid and unskilled pilots get twice as many kills per hour as you? I mean you have made it clear you are better than them. You said most of them are easy kills so this means you are better. If you are better and more aggressive(they are timid and easy to kill) how is it they kill at twice the rate you do, O brave and  skilled warrior of the cartoon skies? Please share your wisdom with this humber pile-it.

What logic was that? I didn't say the guys in the top 100 are easy kills, you did.  but that doesn't matter, I'm not anywhere near the top 100 guys.

I think the last time I checked I was around 3-400 overall. If you are more or less than that, does that make me better than you since you have a lower score than me or you better than me because your score may be better than mine?  No. it doesn't.  Score is meaningless if it can be gamed.  How many are doing it?  Don't exactly know, but the ones that supposedly have a better score than me does not necessarily mean they have more skill than me and are able to beat me, and usually you will not find them alone vulnerable, exposed, when you do on the occasion, you can usually beat them fairly easy.

I have had some very good fights with people ranked as much lower and probably have far more skill than the most elite.  Their scores do not match their ability either.
