ou have been told for years from fellow squaddies you need too Grow Up.


Really? what squaddies?  What squads?  I missed all this.  Darn such fascinating conversations were being had and I wasn't there. Thanks for letting me know what I've been missing  all these "years".  lol

You get yourself in impossible situations then call for help

Really? I missed this too.  I don't really remember "Calling" for help all that often.  In fact, hardly ever do at all.  Of course, what people like you consider "impossible" might just start to be interesting or challenging to others.

Steve - there's an easier way. Talk on voxx to your fellow rooks. If you get no answer, not even text, the guy is a dork, or doesn't want to work with you, or both. I've been in situations with about 8 rooks and not a word passes on voxx. No 6 calls, no discussion of tactics, nothing. I usually just land, and relocate to another part of the map when I'm amongst guys like that.

Dude, Morph, Shane, Furious, Rolex, and Beet:

You guys all make good points, of course. I was whining for the sake of getting something off my chest that has been buggin me more and more of late. Thanks for piping in and not slamming me, as much as a whine as it was, I was an easy target.

Rolex, I know I can specifically not put you amongst the drones(rooks) I discussed.  I remember you being quite vocal as far as sit-reps and fighing goes, TY.

Furious, I should have listed you up top. I love being around your la5.  Do you remember that fight we had on the wavetops a couple/few weeks ago?  You and I were trying to get home, had just killed a couple of guys when a Yak, and La7 showed up.  Man, that was fun stuff.

Shane, I do enjoy switching sides now and then for the sake of killing those that suck.  

Morph, you're right about my sqaud.  I have seen Coors once in the last 3 months, Nuke even less.  Interest waxes and wanes, they are in the "wane" phase.  I will be disbanding the Rat Bastards when I log on tonight.

2. I'll give up alt to come in to help someone trailing 3 or 4 bogies. I try to at least get them to pull off by not going after the trailing guy. I try to come in from a front-quarter angle so they all see me as I try to throw a little lead into each to make them disengage. I'm left with a 3/4 v 1 while the rook in trouble flys off home undamaged without so much as a thanks.


Sadly this happens. It may not be intentional but it does. I try to help the ones that can be helped and try even harder to not get myself in a bind for clearing the guy.

3. Some rooks are great about check 6's, some don't know how, but the worst are the ones who intentionally don't give them because they don't want you to maneuver and ruin the perfect shot they have on the target-fixated guy about to blindside you.


A check 6 is a gift. I always try to give them but if i can't get to the button while im fighting, dont expect to get one. For this reason I use VOX. Its much easier to yell out to someone than to hit a button while looking in the direction of the friendly and hope he gets it. I never get upset over a check 6 or lack of getting one because if i die its going to be due to my own lack of Poor SA that got me killed in the first place. Although I will say being used as bait and not knowing it is a real drag. No pun intended.

If the rooks do suck now, it's because all of the ol' dogs have gone to AH2. AH2 had about 30 highly skilled rooks in the arena last last night.  Meaning the main arena Rooks lost 10-20% of their total fighting force and probably 50% of their "skilled" pilots.

Why are you still playing AH1?

Check six issue happens with each country like Shane said.

I wish the MOTD gave a quick hint to check 6 sometimes.

I logged last night over check 6 issues I Dive in giving 5 check6s in a minute , start clearing nit 6's, only to see a congo line behind me and no nits giving a check 6 back from nits I saved. grrr

So I loaded Red Orchestra and shot me some Jerrys.
