I never played War Thunder, and I think that was totally uncalled for. I think my points are valid because had anyone historically (not)fought like that, they'd never have achieved any of their objectives. If they were escort fighters, their bombers would've all been lost. If they were supposed to intercept enemy bombers, then their friends on the ground would be in an even worse situation than they already were. Refusing to try anything even remotely dangerous is not not useful, not historically accurate and not to mention not entertaining to fight against In this short we have the aforementioned planes on both sides slowly turning and climbing, afraid of fighting while achieving nothing. As far as I could tell they must've been up there for 20 minutes until the mission ended (I rearmed rockets once, they were still there)

I'm not reacting. When I play I just ignore them as they pose no threat to anyone. There's currently some sod in a Dora over the Allied base, climbing constantly and refusing to dive on even the easiest of targets as if he's just here to watch the Flak guns' fireworks. Update: He's RTB after having done bugger all. Must've taken some shrapnel or so.

Well, trying to get a shot off might be a start, but a lot of guys will turn tail the moment someone reacts to their boom & zoom attack. Getting yourself killed won't help, neither will getting all your friends on the ground killed.

Frustrated by some of the pilots' "fighting" style. Running away as soon as you are at a small disadvantage won't protect your ground units and it isn't fun either. I'm currently watching a bunch of players from both sides slowly turn at high altitudes as if they're terrified of facing a dogfight.

Currently there's such a major shortage of Dora pilots that I can't get any action. I know it's kind of blasphemic, but perhaps both planes should temporarily be on both sides?
