I've been playing since 2003 and this is the first I've ever heard of the help channel... Clearly its not well advertised...

I'd wager that is a big part of the problem.

In regards to the original topic of this post...

There is nothing more rewarding in the game, besides maybe a killer 1v1 fight, than helping a newbie and having him see the difference right away when he gets into the MA. I'm talkin acm wise, dog fighting... whatever.. Still, good stuff.

First flight in AW I took off and immediatly blew my load of ammo on a green guy.Missed everyshot.he laughed at me and then gave me the low down on the game.I never forgot that.I offer help when I can because I was that stupid moron at one time and pass along the favor.Your not obliged to do that yourself if you read every word of text and needed no help on your first online flight.Otherwise if you want a good comunity,give a damn now and then.

What surprises me is how many kids show up after the ad's on the History Channell.

I mean, really, I'm an old fart, who would have thought these teenyboppers Watched the History Channell!! I, for One, am impressed, and considering they have half a clue enough to watch and educational program will go out of my way to bring them along and show them the ropes.

It's all about perspective I guess.

Yes, we all were noobs once....lol

The other day I saw 2 noobs run down my bombers and after one shot half his loadout "POOF", I chuckled with my squaddies about it for a second then here he was again! Talk about dedication!

This time the other guy jumped in and tried to help him out and "POOF POOF"

It was classic!

On his 3rd approach, I said on Range their names and said... "If you would put half the effort into shooting the guys in red instead of the guys in green, you will go far in this game"

It cracks me up to see noobs at 1st, but part of the fun is watching the noobs grow into decient sticks.
