But hang on a moment.

Many a time i've been hard on the tail of an enemy in a dogfight, and often using the target camera, i've been too target fixated and flown into the ground whilst trying to follow my target. So this means i'll get penalised because I wasn't looking where I was going, but I get the same penalty as someone doing it to avoid being killed?

Wrapping your car around a tree will get you killed, whether you did it because you were looking at a pretty lady or to commit suicide.
Guess you'll just have to be more careful where you fly .

I've been finding it frustrating lately online: i create a dogfight match, someone joins, game starts, i shoot them down a couple times and then they quit before the game is over! This means i dont actually get credited for winning the match which is weak.

I'd recommend waiting for more than one player--but in all seriousness, early-quits are frustrating, especially when it's 4v4 and after 2 quits it gets down to 4v2. I had the same issue with Gears of War--I don't like the "you can only join a game before it launches" system--it doesn't work on the xbox because people just games too frequently. I wish you could join games that were in progress.

*Re: my previous post. I now realize the game actually claims to have 1-16 coop. This is not at all true. Elsewhere on the forums I heard the weak excuse that "Strike" is actually coop vs. coop. I'm sorry. This is not what people understand by "coop." They understand player+player(s) vs. AI. This is kind of false advertising and I was very disappointed to learn that it wasn't in the game. It's still one of the best purchases I've made in a while and I'll be playing the CRAP out of multiplayer...but this was the element I was actually most looking forward to: flying with my friends.
