I agree with you, trash talking players are a nuisance (and very often it's not them being the competent ones).
Don't listen to them - they are either fools or they employ this as a tactic (to unsettle you).
In this game, very few players are truly skilled - so many BB drivers can't aim, zigzag, scout or dodge, so many CV drivers have no situational awareness and/or leave their planes at default height... the worst effect on a battle is due to the high-level failures (too much exp handed out for leeching, I guess).
And I would be very surprised if the probability of finding a good player were different on Kaiser compared to Nebraska (from where I come).
