Not meant to be offensive or troll just saying.
I notice they tend to stay high one makes a pass then they are all back up high again. If you climb up to them and they can't kill you quickly they seem to back away and climb further but tend not to engage as readily as others.
Clearly its their choice and there is no right way of doing things but if they are in a fight rather than thinking either;
Great easy kills, or this will be dangerous but fun, I tend to think oh dear this could be a bit boring.
I am sure they are trying to perfect something and perhaps when they have it, it will be more exciting but currently it can seem like 5 or so guys perching high over a base and staying there. The best defence is often just stay low as it seems and they never get to you which I am sure is not the idea. Climbing up to them is often a bit like a waste of time as if you are on your own they get you and if you have anything like equal numbers they seem to just climb more and back away.
This is just my experience and perhaps some of my squaddies, do others have the same expeirience of this?
Yarbels, with the exception of Trogdor, who I can't give enough positive praise, (he's a great guy), and who never runs from a fight, my recent experiences with them is that they always 'extending' to friendlies in the MA unless they can arrive to a fight with overwhelming advantages. It might have something to do with their k/d requirement. I'll put it this way, 1v1 for a duce is an excuse to run, because unless its a 2v1 or preferably greater 3+v1, you'll be lucky to get a fight from them (with the exception of a few sticks).
Its to their own detriment as it will stunt their personal growth as fighter pilots and will artificially inflate their egos.
