Now THIS is the sort of thing that would make it worth the price of admission: just so I could go to the DA and watch the mud rasslin.

In all seriousness the TA is an excellent place to work on gunnery.  You get 1,000 times the shot opportunities to work on lead etc.  My gunnery is especially poor and I find it is helping me a great deal.

I now return you to your word battles... :)

I don't care about score, scoring means nothing.

Have a party, but if I can drag a few away from the horde, they will die. That's my anti-horde game, entice a few to chase me, then reverse on them when they're beyond icon range of the mob.

Why don't you guys bring those squads into the TA and work on ACM skills, then you won't need the safety of the herd to hide in. That is especially important for your new players. God knows, the role model they see know won't teach them anything beyond pack mentality.

My regards,

Widewing


Oh my.. take it easy now... no need to meet at the playground after school.

Yep, it was good to have you aboard. Our squad goes to the TA at least a couple of times a month. We work on various aspects of the game. The idea is to get everyone proficient at everything. Naturally, some guys will progress faster than others, but all improve with training.

By the way, you missed our 2 on 1 scrum.

You did get to see how easily the F4U-1 handles the 190A-5. Especially when things slow below 250 mph. That Corsair is way under-rated by the MA population and is a certified perk collector.

I strongly recommend that competing squadron (IE: From differing countries) meet in the TA for scrums. Just because they fight each other in the MA doesn't mean that they can't train together in the TA. The only thing missing in the TA is exploding planes, and for training purposes, that's a plus.

Anyway, I was happy to have you with us. Sometimes some good-natured nose tweeking results in positive things.

My regards,

Widewing

The F4U-1 with full flaps and around 150 mph will out turn just about everything but the Zeke's, Hurri's, Ki84, Spit V and P-38. Its slow speed turning is underestimated.

Umm, I don't ussualy get into pi$$ing matches over squad ranks and yadda yadda yadda but, ........since you started this by adding my squad into a booger headed insulting remark (un provoked by us) I must be as kind as to point out that the FB squad is ranked 42 in the top 100 and yours is somewhere in the 60's. And no......I am not insulting your squad...(like you did mine) just pointing out that if the FB squad ranking makes us girls.....you guys must be little girls lol :p

All in fun I guess, just setting the record straight, I Salute you guys for even being in the top 100 as any place there is honorable.

Oh and before you say it......... lol, No I do not want to meet you anywhere to prove anything unless it's a bar and your buying:aok     Toodles!!!!!

Does this remind anybody else of those Karate Ninja movies where the good guy is surrounded by 20 bad guys who go at him one at a time until they're all down?

Every time is see Bruce Li or Chuck Norris in this situation, I holler at the screen for the bad guys to work together and take him down.
