Of course from my perspective doing the same three moves over and over and over again in the same plane over and over and over again (the sort of thing that has made you such a lethal lander of baby seal pelts in the MW arena) would quite literally bore me to death after ten years.
As an ancillary comment to the discussion, here... if you get bored to death "doing the same three moves over and over and over again," how is doing a single "move" any more motivating? Beyond that, why not strive to be better at something? Whether its real life or Aces High, Im not sure how you can knock a guy for trying to be the best he can be, in this case, in any random airplane.
Whats the alternative? A celebration of mediocrity?
Why fly for five minutes, to get to a fight, only to rely on chance when you engage your first bad guy? Doesnt make any sense to me. Nine times out of ten, a maneuvering contest will result in a single winner and a single loser. Based upon my observation, nine times out of ten, any nose-on-nose joust with both aircraft firing their weapons results in damage to both; the "winner" being declared by the laws of physics; "He who hits the ground after the other guy wins." Unfortunately, at the end of the engagement, although he who floats softer gets a "kill," there is no real winner because he smacks the tarmac anyway.
One can spin it however he or she chooses, but at the end of the day, from my perspective, people who position their airplane nose-on-nose with every intention to fire have no confidence in their ability to do anything actually involving control surface inputs.
The great irony in all this is that by their very actions, they deprive themselves of the opportunity to remedy their deficiencies through practice and experience.
