Thanks for the input. I was indeed saving up xp for those very same purchases that you suggested, the pilots in the above example were only around 60-70 pts. I agree with the Me110 being able to defend itself from the rear, but as previously stated, this is just one example, there are many others that I have experienced that were not 110's. Very frustrating. I should also mention that I left out the Gladiator wingman's Team Work attribute by mistake.

Please let me start off by saying that I really enjoy this game and have spent a great deal of time playing it. However, the following example of a recently played match shows why I have become very frustrated with this game as well. A.I. Gladiator Leader with the following attributes: 1. Natural Pilot 2. Redline 3. High Performance 4. Power Dive 5. Stay With Him! 6. Quick Reflex 7. Target Pilot 8. Draw Extra Card x2 A.I. Gladiator Wingman with the following attributes: 1. Team Work 2. Check Six 3. Distract Leader 4. Target Pilot 5. Draw Extra Card x5 Against my Me110's, both with the following attributes: 1. Natural Pilot 2. Escape Death How is this match considered fair? How can this match even conform with the game's own 75% rule? More importantly, how can this match-up, and many more that I've played lately that are just like it, be FUN? Needless to say, I did not score any hits and both of my planes were shot down. I've played approximately 30+ missions in the last 2 days against this kind of A.I and I was only able to score maybe 10 kills while having at least one of my own being shot down every single time. This occurrs at all VP levels. I don't want to suggest that I should emerge victorious all the time but I think that I should at least have a fighting chance every match. The A.I. should have to play by the same rules that I do. I buy and play games to be entertained, not to quit in frustration. And before someone suggests the obvious, I DO play against other human pilots as well and am also sometimes shot down by them, however, I am at least able to put up a fight first!!!

Hi all, I wholeheartedly support Mistura's idea of a POW camp of sorts. Even though I haven't run across to many human opponents who have purchased Target Pilot, nearly 100% of the A.I. bots use it with needlessly deadly effect.
