A bad assumption hey. Well I would agree with you Bliss and to assume something can make an ass out of u and me, however, you would agree that in IL2 pilots would exit and grab another plane regularly. How do I know? Well Bliss, as you know, you only have to look at the list of pilots to planes and see that the pilot would spawn immediately after in a new plane. Wasn't hard to check. Bit harder to check in this multiplayer system but not impossible.
So, yes there could be other reasons but I do believe there is a large number of people who just want to get up in the sky and raise those stats.

Oh I agree with you Mclean. But the servers I played on in old IL2, the only way you could hop into another plane was if you bailed, landed, or were PK'd. Some people had a habit of hitting the refly button fairly soon (after one of those) and it could screw up your "in-game" score/not give you credit, but the stats the server was running would catch it. But that's a completely different thing than actually disco'ing from the server, what we are talking about here.

And the only thing I can say, is looking at the logs, many people are constantly crashing out all the time from MP. So I don't think, or should I say hope, that many people are worried about their online stats at this stage in the game. I think we should worry about that sort of think after we have some sort of stability/progress.
