Tweety,
Sorry if I hurt your feelings. The point of the thread was to observe that some folks aren't learning (maybe don't want to learn) and that maybe the training facilities aren't sufficient for their needs.
What we've seen in the past year is the formation of the noob-steamroller squads. Capture territory by sheer numbers. Pork & Auger. The way the game works is partly to blame. It does not reward stealth attempts to capture bases - it does the opposite, what with all the different warning systems that a base is under attack - siren, flashing map, "base under attack" etc... So the noobs go the numerical supremacy smashdown route. Those guys can be difficult to kill because usually they have killed themselves before you get the chance!
I met up with a few flightsim guys for a drink some months ago. We were all talking about where we had gone since the WB meltdown began. One guy had tried the AH TA, but there was no training. All that happened was that he was shot down repeatedly by a guy (whose handle most of you would recognise) who was getting his jollies. No training at all.
The other point is that some guys don't want to learn. I remember trying to help a guy after he had handed me his own head on a plate, and he basically told me to piss off.
The attitude amongst many seems to be "why bother to learn, when a new plane is just a mouseclick away..."
