It is funny how winning the war is so important to people. In the last year of playing (although I don't play as much for personal life) I have only been playing where my team actually won maybe ONE time. ONE time a year I got 50 perks (which I could gather in 3 sorties). So IMO winning the war and taking that part of the game seriously is just miniscule.
An other oxymoron is all of the people flying timid, and safe, and don't want to furball or get in deep fights, and then their stats would tell you they still aren't producing many kills, they still die just as much or more, and they never become better at the game, it is almost the exact opposite of how they perceive flying "smart"
