I like playing defense. While it doesn't do much for your score, "who cares"?, the action is almost immediate and you have to really watch your ACM because your almost never looking down at anybody, airplane at least. Even when your GV killing you have to be aware of fighters, often dodging them or engaging them. IL2s, Yaks, LAs, are my favorite planes on the defense and I'm also pretty decent with AA guns.
Not great at anything but hopefully competent at everything. That was always my goal.
