That's just what happens with human pilots in virtual skies. Rookies that I know shoot the enemies always when possible and hope to get some hits - and waste their bullets. More skilled guys try to hit the fuselage and most skilled aim at engines and even bomber pilots when attacking head on. That's how it goes in my sqn with pilots who have 1 to 10 years of experience in virtual combat flying.

If we got this change, my sqn would be veeery happy...
