I read this forum but don't post on here.. until I read that.

Let me guess, you're getting your ass handed to you regularly whilst employing what you see as 'real' tactics and it's getting to you?

Combat reports are exactly that, reports of combat, as remembered by men who were desperatley trying not to die at the time.. You can't use them to 'prove' anything because they are incomplete, you don't know the condition of the aircraft or pilots or weather or wind speed at the time. They are narritives.

By the way I'm a BoP PS3 player (feel free to laugh) but this thread was annoying me!

I'll go back to my arcade game now.
