If a pilot can find a squadron with mature pilots, then most of the problems are gone from the start.
However, there will always be the immature and some cheaters in public servers, just like guys are saying here.
Storebror,
I agree with what you wrote for the most part: Cheaters, false accusers (most common type?), and rude people are found in almost every mission in some servers, in my experience. Most pilots are not working together in HyperLobby in the way real world pilots would be cooperating.
Yes! Though I don't think it is quite as high as 99%, it sure is a very high percentage...
I agree that most accusations of cheating are false. On the other hand, breaking server rules and being rude are common, which is the other side of the dirty coin.

Eric Hartmann, who we know had the greatest number of victories for a pilot in combat history, wrote something that will stay with me:
"I was never concerned with the number of victories in a given mission. One victory would make me very happy. Sometimes I got more than one, but surviving to continue fighting was most important." Eric Hartmann
(Note: The quote is approximate from my memory.)
"Of all my accomplishments, I am most proud of the fact that I never lost a wingman." Eric Hartmann
Most of Eric Hartmann's wingmen were great aces in their own right. His wingmen always had a good opportunity to get their own share of kills.
Obviously, Eric Hartmann must have been quite a team thinker. In my opinion, this is the ultimate leader, not the one who scores the most kills on a certain mission.
To the inexperienced pilots, I suggest studying the masters - not just their scores, but study their principles.

Yes! It feels good to work with a competent leader, if that means that I am the wingman.
I tried once to join a squadron but they were just not ready to perform cohesively. Also you get the guy who owns the server and has got a huge EGO. I am not going into this, hosting a game is probably difficult, (because of the childish behavior) and these guys just want a good clean game. But I have seen more than a few injustices.
A pilot might need to try several squadrons before finding a teamwork kind of group.
I noticed a difference in maturity levels sometime ago. Some are really into it and want this higher level of cohesiveness in their games.
Differences in maturity are very obvious, huh?
