i fly cause i am good and i get get bored just groundpounding all the time. so i guess that makes me a whore, which is no different than a groundpounding whore.
Planes are, easily, the most powerful vehicles in the game. If you spend an equal amount of time practicing flying and say, using a tank, you will achieve higher scores with the plane.
However, the issue is not the characteristics of the planes or their death-dealing capabilities. The issue is a poorly design point-system that, along with the equally assinine rank/medal/unlock system, attracts a certain kind of player to exclusively fly.
Those very "dangerous" pilots who pee off everyone else, are the piltos who - instad of really supporting the ground troops in the objectives of taking flags or defending them - fly around blissfully and deliberatly ignorant of what's going on. Their intent is to get as many kills as possible, since that is how you get your next unlock/medal/rank - nevermind the team outcome (once more the amateurish point-system facilitates poor gameplay). As even non-pilots like myself very well know: it's a damn sight easier to rack up kills on ground troops that other pilots - the logical consequence is to go for the ground troops where they are the easiers to kill.
A not-so-idiotic point-system would EXPECT more from a pilot than a ground-pounder. Just like in real life. Hence the "reward" for killing a few infantrymen with 4 clusterbombs, doesn't really impress the brass - nor should it reward you with the same amount of points. It's about relative power-projection. All else being equal it's a damn sight better to have 4 jets on your side than 4 guys in BDU's with M16s.
As for the whole "who is the best pilot in BF2"? The answer is - not ONE of you guys swinging your eDicks around by quating your points or stats.
I've met a handful that are MUCH better than ANY of you - and here is why:
They LOOK at what is going on
They SUPPORT their team where they are most needed, regardless of danger to themselves.
They COMMUNICATE with SPOTS about danger to flags, because they can see a large enemy push.
They INFLUENCE the outcome of a match by PURE FOCUS on the OBJECTIVES - not their personal stats.
Unfortunately, because the point-system is designed by simpletons, that behaviour is not reflected with any rewards.
Why god why would somebody want to revive a thread like this?
so i didn't have to make a new one that would get closed or flamed, but i guess flames come with the forums no matter what you do to try and please people.

Saying "play on unranked servers so you don't get tk'd for a plane" is neither worth making a new thread, nor worth necro'ing a 5 month old one.

well, since most people that make threads like these are rank whores, telling them to find other means of fun may be helpful.
