I will add though, even though I said I don't have much of an ego, but I guess I do have some of an ego, because when this started bugging me, was a couple weeks ago in a particular strike match. A single opponent whom will remain nameless, because I think he is a freaking punk self absorbed prick, I only thought that because of his reply to a friendly message I sent him. I have to admit, he is a very skilled air to air fighter. But, damn, what fighter with any mildly skilled pilot can't take down a lumbering B-17? He started targeting me specifically. I don't have a problem with that, that is the game, and in a strategic sense, makes sense to take out the heavy bomber. But, this guy was on me like white on rice. I got a few bombs off, and did some damage, but not near as much as I usually do, because of this guy keying on my bomber, and I think was his only mission was to track and keep me in flames. Anyway.. There were several on my team with fighters. I was trying to communicate to my team mates, to stay with me, and keep this prick busy so I can get some decent damage with my bombs. My teamates, whom I did not know any of them because my normal guys I fly with were not on line, simply just flew around. One guy in particular was WAY off course doing who knows what, because he wasn't even near ours, OR their targets.. Just off on his own, flying around enjoying the view I assume. I could not get any of my mates in fighters to work with me... I was on my own, and this jerk just simply took me out quickly. I did get a few bombs off, but not many.
Anyway.. I jokingly sent this guy a message after the match saying "Man, you were killing me. I might have had a chance if I had some back up from my team..".. Nothing personal to him, if anything, giving him props for good kills, and making a point that I would have liked to had some help from my guys.. Anyway, this bone head returns a message stating "You didn't get a single bomb off... You aren't very good... If you want to avoid embarrassment, do not come back..."... His reply was an ass hole comment IMHO, and not warranted.... I did get bombs off, and did "some" damage, but of course, my score card was zero because they were not complete kills.. So, I had no proof that he was wrong about my skills... Anyway.. I didn't reply back,because it is not worth it to get into a battle of witts with a freaking moron like that.. I just avoid him.. he shows up on my list when I place invites, but I always skip over the jerk and he doesn't get any invites to my games... hehheh..

A couple of my regulars whom are pretty good air to air fighters wanted him, but he wasn't seen on line for several days, and it just went by the wayside.. He has shown up in other matches that I was in, but again, I just ignore him... I he has not been in another strike match since with me however..

Your team let you down for sure, but that guy was an ass. I don't blame him for targeting the B-17, that makes sense to go after the heavy hitter. However, we don't need people like that in the game or online in general. Hop on tonight, we'll have Strike going if we get enough people online at 9:30 EST. We've had great games and very good sports in there.

I agree with the OP - the strike scores should more accurately reflect damage done instead of targets destroyed. It's not an ego thing, it's about more accurate leaderboards and knowing who the genuinely good players are.
And as for that a-hole, join his games and keep TK'ing him. Me, Nephilim, Silvernige and Hrok were all trying to get some quality 4v4 CTA games in with us all on the same side. But some idiot keeps trying to join whatever team we set, making it 5v3. So we tried every trick in the book, switching to the same team at the last second etc. After a few games of being fooled by that, the idiot soon caught on. So there we are in a 5v3 and we all decided that the best course of action was military justice. That was one of the best CTA games I've ever had lol. Plus, it's really good training for simulation, tracking a target without a marker arrow

That I do not like.. I dont mind flying with anyone at all, but when may regular flying buddies are on, we do form a "Team" because we fly well together, interact, and each player has their roll and contribution to the team effort, so we like to fly as a team. When we all get together, we do have a rep for not loosing much, so other players try to jump to our team at the last second to end up in a warped battle of say 8 on 2 etc. If I host a game, and that ends up like that, I will dump the game and start over. I hate that, I like as fair of a fight as I can get. Actually, I even like warped games that put me at a disadvantage, because I like the challenge. I prime example of that, and yeah, I am gonna brag because I am proud of myself in a game last night. It was a warped game anyway, with 3 on 2. I was on the 2 player side. No problem, but it was a 2 field game, and that really is tough with such low player count anyway. You have to spread out really thin. Well, my team mate apparently felt overwhelmed and bails on the game early, and left me by myself to cover two air fields for over 10 minutes. Of course, I got my arse whooped, but I stayed with the game to the end, and fought my butt off to the end. I lost, but my personal score was almost double of their highest scorer. I did get landed and took the field several times, and a handful of kills. I just zoomed from field to field flying just feet from the ground at below tree top level, and they couldn't see me very well.. I would scream in, take a landing, and by the time they figured out where I was, they either at least lost the field, if not me taking it completley. I would do the same thing sneaking up on them and doo dooing on them with my little turd bombs.. It was really fun, even though I lost... But, left that game as though I won anyway.. hahhah...
