TC obviously you don't know your history. There is no such thing as the 412th Braunco Mustangs in WWII. Oh and TC I'd think trying to take a fictional squads name is a bit more lame then a real squadrons name. Just means you lack any imagination.
Stream as you can see though TC feels the same as I do.
does anybody hold a right to any squad name? regardless if the squad is named after a real life squad or a make believe flight sim squad?
Alf so I guess maybe one of you should change your squad name. Who exactly has the rights to the name though? We'd have to be sure that the squadron who best represents the original squadron carries the name. We'd also have to take into consideration that one squad may have more members than the others too. This is ofcourse what Stream is asking for. He must feel that his squadron is better and will represent the original squadron better than any other.
Only my suqadron and the AVG have significant membership, but its still accepted that we all co-exists. I feel that THE flying tigers and Flying Tigers is too similar...but so far no big deal
To sit here and try to lay claim to a historical squadron is pretty selfish as I said previously. Regardless if your buddy buddy with an original member you have no rights to the squadrons name. You can sit here and say "bad form" all day but who gave the CO some kind of rights to lay claim to the name? If you guys really gave a crap about the original squadron you'd be happy so many folks want to represent that squadron. Instead you sit here bickering about who should have the rights to the name. You guys seem to think you have some kind of right to something that isn't yours in the first place.
