Passiveness Is: Airfield Camping, space camping, AFK, running to base
Passiveness Is Not: Bombing, BnZ
The easiest way for me to describe it is if you are in a fighter actively avoiding fighting anybody, rather opting to prolong the game through running and camping. That doesn’t apply if you’re already damaged either
Also notably, some aircraft do well playing a more passive playstyle (such as staying high and fast in a Bf 109 or passing the whole team before turning in to fight). Passive Gameplay as it is ingame is when it’s directly detrimental to both your team and the match itself
Repost (I broke my last one trying to edit some how…)
Why do feel the need to constantly come on here and justify yourself if you don’t think there is anything wrong with what you do?
(these are old screen shots, pre Fox 3s but it shows the issue very well:
My ENTIRE team is base bombing while I’m dealing with this:
No accident, as you have to conciously click the option to take off from airfield
It is not a malicious reporting. Every player who enters the battle with bomber is breaking the rules for passive gameplay, as every single bomber = one less fighter, making the team weaker, thus - Deliberate Losing

Why have bombers in the game If you cannot use it?
everything you just said on the 2nd point is textbook malicious reporting
In my personal opinion:
Any attempted (yes, that includes if they miss, players shouldn’t be punished for possibly being bad at the game and/or having a bad day) action that givers the player score shows that they are trying to win the match.
Inactive gameplay means for example flying as high as you can and not doing anything the entire game purely to troll other players by flying away from them. Another example would driving a tank to a hiding spot and just sitting there the entire game doing nothing and/or driving around the map intentionally not taking capture points and/or not shooting any enemies even though you have a clear shot and an easy kill several times.
Deliberate loosing would be teamkills, destroying your own bases, pushing friendly tanks out of capture zones so that they cant capture it, telling the enemy where your teammates are, etc. i.e. any active action with the goal of making the enemy team win.
No, not by itself, as long as they are playing to try to win it’s fine (how else would they get the “god mode” achievement?) and being unskilled is never against the rules unless provably and intentionally playing worse to make your own team lose.
TLDR:
The most important words in that rule are “intentional” and “deliberately”.
deliberate losing is be active to make your team lose. AFK is inactive. bombing is “passive”, not against the rules. thats it. this salty ass community cant understand that the point of the game is grind because we have 0 fun gameplay, this game is almost a sandbox, and some players just want a specific plane before being more “active”. economy is the enemy
Currently I am using the Buccaneer S.1 (8.7 no air spawn D:) it’s a pretty nice fast jet, usually id advise to just fly a bit wide of where the main fight is. (bucca has no guns or missiles [the S.1])
Toptier is just chaos x) but usually stock grinders need to bomb bases to get modules to be more existant in the match else effectively they are a free kill to spaded players
yes but i cant grind with the bucc, i play su17 and f4e to grind jets, while the f4e is an absolute menace, i can take down 4 bases while retaining most of what i need to take down any enemy i want, the su17 is pure unfiltered pain. it was good when at top tier bases respawned in 1 or 2 minutes, but no that would mean giving a easier time to players, never to happen
