Yes... and pilots of virtual squads actually fly in public servers for training purporse, during the days in which there is no team event.

I agree that focusing on your own K/D is one of the better way to become a better pilot: you learn how to fly with teammates, when is the right moment to attack the enemy, how to attack him without being in danger. My squad focuses mostly on KIA/MIA numbers of the pilots.

As bomber you have wait for other bombers and your primary target is coordinating with the escort.

These kind of pilots will try to take a role in the mission, they will not act as lone wolves if they aren't forced to (dogfighting at 500m).

The most annoying things in public servers are to be attacked during landing procedure by a single suicidal pilot that is going to die in one minute because of AA or the fighters around the airbase, furballs, the hateful shoulder shooting.

As the community is already splitted in arcade gamers and the ones who love simulation, a method to filter the hotheads is very welcome in my opinion.

A whole generation of pilots learned to treasure the Spitfire for its delightful response to aerobatic manoeuvres and its handiness as a dogfighter. Iit is odd that they had continued to esteem these qualities over those of other fighters in spite of the fact that they were of only secondary importance tactically.Thus it is doubly ironic that the Spitfire’s reputation would habitually be established by reference to archaic, non-tactical criteria.
