The fact that I was taking breaks because I loathe early jets. Especially since G-suits are the last thing unlocked, and going 3° downwards is enough to cause a blackout (exaggeration).
That mentality is only made worse because you can’t take your time to position yourself to get a kill. You need to be aggressive, and you need to be the first one there in order to get lots of kills from what I’ve seen.

i actually do the very opposite in props because i plan for a win and i know my team will evaporate fast, so i usually work the few smart guys up high and make my way down once im done, every single time i dived i eventually got pounded by 5 morons at once lol.
this is why i vastly prefer jets, you can escape a 1v5 and reset and win, in props though? yeah youre fucked.
oh yeah AND FUCK MID MAP AA, i just had a game on Midway where i was on a roll and the fucking midmap AA decided to kill me because i dared play the game and engage the enemy team, FUCK THIS GAME.
You got killed by af aaa (on Eastern Island = the right island, B point) and not by midmap aaa.
yeah, brilliant, lets put airfield AAA where most fights happen i guess, give players a safety bubble thats even more broken, that match pissed me off so bad
Whilst your frustration is comprehensible it is up to you (now with improved map knowledge) to avoid fighting above Eastern Island and to warn your team mates about the fact that the US airfield on Eastern Island has a deadly af aaa bubble.
Matches there are often a waiting game until the US players leave the bubble and can be cut off from their airfield.
Have in mind that Pacific maps are mostly balanced in favor of US/UK players. So the JP af aaa on both JP airfields on Saipan is totally useless - like the large af at A point on Iwo Jiima. A hell of US/UK players are fully aware of this…
Edit: Changed name of the island from Tinian to Eastern Island. Tinian is the right Island on Saipan :-)
i think i forgot to mention that it was the first time i flew on this map, so i had no clue how stupid the AF placement was, in my mind, those AA guns were normal AA units you find next to howitzers lol
And yeah now i’m never going near those things when flying pacific maps =P

You’d be surprised, I’ve seen LARPers in Sim flying around in MiGs doing manoeuvres, where one baits a player into a turn fight, and then the second guy will tag in and bait the player into a fight, and they will keep doing this until they can get an elim.
What is even better is that they will trash talk in the chat, saying “too easy noobs” and “get good” after every elim, but will rage quit when you fight back.
They’re not as common, but you will see them in Sim sometimes. I don’t know, I always found LARPers weird, like why are you trying to play military in a video game? You are right, they are usually bad, but what is even more hilarious is how they talk like they are in a Hollywood film. Don’t get me wrong, I use the funny alphabet too, like “There’s a ςυητ in Charlie Six” kinda way, not the whole, “Fox three out on Bogey One, fox three splash, tango down” bollocks. In fact, the only time I do the latter is when I’m mocking them, but that’s because I actually did serve (Royal Navy in 2020) and did see conflict (Ukraine 2022-2023), so I have less of a tolerance for the Hollywood romanticism of US “heroes” in Afghanistan and those who LARP like they are Chris Kyle in a Phantom.

Imho the topic of this thread: “Where prop BR teams better back then?” requires more than anecdotal posts of recent events addressing player behaviour you don’t like or pointing out certain design flaws on specific maps.
Whilst i agree that it is extremely painful to fight coordinated squads as solo player, suffer from design flaws on Pacific maps or to see that certain individuals find ways to glorify certain (in most countries forbidden) world views your recent input looks mostly way off-topic - just because it is not related to teams.
Even your negative experience with sweatlord squads is technically seen not topic related simply because these squads were always part of Air RB…
Was better back then but the same kind of behaviour was still a thing.
I that case you’re lucky, once a guy thought I was jewish (I wasn’t) and rammed into me
The kill stealing problem is also pretty huge

Smarter…as in fly low head on someone get a kill and die then play another game.
Quality of player hasn’t increased
Maybe youre right, but i also dont recall ever having to worry about my entire team diving on a single strike aircraft and wasting all their altitude
No that was always a thing which is why when you saw a 109 or 190 up high you knew they knew how to play the game.
Players have no patience to side climb and then complain when Russian aircraft designed for lower altitudes kill them
