Not really, it means that two players are flying all over the map at speed basicaly rulling them out for teamwork. Its much better in Strike to play as a team and fly as a flight rather than a bunch of lone wolf players.

I Agree it is much better to play as a team but it rarely happens yesterday i was in a few stike games using a he 111 all the fighters took off trolling for kills so i was trying to bomb targets without fighter escort at the mercy of my ai gunners other team having b17 depleted all our tickets before i even got a decent line on the target now if id have used the arado i would of least managed to get a few bombs on target

start game fly near to target get shot down on account of no fighter support rinse and repeat = not fun

Yeah, it's better to play as a team, but so few people do that. I've been in some great rooms where people would do that, but for the most part each team is made up of individuals doing their own thing. Maybe they're in a party with another person, but in most cases I doubt it. People 90% of the time don't say a word or acknowledge you if you ask if anyone has comms. It's just as rare for the team to set up well with aircraft. I pretty much always have a bomber, not just because I want the B-17, but because usually no one else runs one, except for the 2 B-17's on the other team. LOL

Well in strike I try and play the Escort role myself. However it is rather hard to do, so dont be to dismisive of people flying off. Once I lock in a target I try and take it out, so basically I get a bit of target tunnel vision. Its not that Im doing it to get the points per-say, its more that I need to ensure that the enemy is downed so the bomber can slip through unharmed.
