If you want constant non-stop action then there’s a gamemode just for you - Arcade. If you don’t enjoy a little more realism in your Realistic Battles then I can’t exactly help you.
Ah yes “realistic battles” where I activate “blind shooter” and see where the enemy is no matter the distance. I love realism.
So you’re saying you could shoot those, to drain the tickets, but you won’t because you don’t get as much?
Blind Hunt.
Again, if your brain can’t handle the incomprehensible horror of not being in a furball for 2 minutes then there’s no helping you.
You were given plenty of options to deal with such scenarios where the last player runs away and you are forced to chase him. Shoot ground targets and AI planes, use a Blind Bunt or Avenger order or you can even land and leave the game without a penalty if you really don’t want the RP bonus for staying longer in the match but you still complain because you want the game to play itself.

Why are you asking this as a rhetorical question
“not being in a furball”
“being 50KM away from the battlefield”
There can’t possibly be a middle ground between these two points that might be considered fun and engaging. We have to either waste 10 minutes or we have to end the match in 2 minutes.
Disagree with that one mate.
Flying outside of where the enemy expects you is just being smart.
Timewasting on the other hand and not doing anything is just bad play and not all that common.
Mate, you’re already at that middle ground. A lot of players are complaining that tickets are draining way too fast and attacking ground targets can end the match too quickly. And as I said, unless you’re in EC, most maps you get are incredibly tiny for Mach 2 capable jets. Small Afghanistan might as well spawn you already merged with an enemy.
Average match time has already been reduced substantially to a point it becomes annoying how fast a game ends. If you aren’t a fan of the every so slightly slower pace of ARB then I once more recommend playing arcade instead.

Reconcile these two statements with the screenshot provided and the title and pick one.
More to the point I want the game mode that is designed for PVP to cater to PVP players.
Yes I am fan of the ever so slightly slower pace of Air RB that’s why I play it (let’s also completely ignore the reward differences between the game modes since that seems to suit your view better). The player in the screenshot is delaying that pace and making it abnormally long. Hence this thread was created.
ARB isn’t team deathmatch. There’s an objective, just like GRB. Unlike GRB though more often than not a team is all dead before it is completed, hence the suggestion that it’s all about fighting players. Nevertheless the objective is still there for you to interact with and have a win condition based upon it.

How often does this happen? Every game? Once in 10 games? Once in 20? When such a person is being unsportsmanlike in such a manner then simply utilize the mechanics given to you to punish his playstyle and secure the win for yourself. You earn more, they earn less. Spending 3-5 extra minutes groundpounding isn’t “wasting time”, it’s playing the game as that is an essential aspect of the gamemode.
The developers of the game disagree with you.

There is an objective. You have a problem and are offered a solution through said objective. Somehow it’s still not enough for you for…reasons?
If the main objective of the game mode is not the focus of the game mode then the game mode has design issues.
Obv when both are applied, the timewasting overrides.
But simply flying outside of the main lemming vector is not timewasting.
I do not consider flying along the edge of the map border to be simply “flying outside of the lemming vector”.
He is alone against many, he would be a fool to fly straight in.
He stays out of detection and waits for the right time to strike, if not, wait for the enemy to come to you whilst you have some kind of advantage to exploit.
Your just salty mate, some proper Himalayan minerals.
Why make the post if you are just gonna argue with people or have a bad attitude?
Use your radar better or hit ground targets, nothing more to say.
I don’t think you understand rhetorical in this context, and that isn’t my problem. Much the same as you being unable to prioritize objectives when you have a problem with a players actions.
You’re talking about an F-111 with rockets that was base bombing then flew out over the bay.
