Do what GETSOME did to a crybaby who cried about no check 6s. He checked 6 him for about 10 minutes straight and got everyone else on range to do it also so the whiner had a hell of a time squelchin all of us.
I still chuckle about it to this day.

Oooh, but his "superior rank" might deem the "Rear Admiral" useless. He's formally GUNS06 and AZREAL. He is fooling a number of Rooks, but not me. The voice is IDENTICAL.

Yea bout once a month this topic rears its ugly head.
And about once a month people point out that 6 calls are a gift, not a requirement.

Im starting to think maybe HTC should remove the option of the check6 call altogether.

After all if its not there. people wont EXPECT to get a check 6

As previously posted by others...Check 6 calls are a luxery and don't rely on others to do your SA for you...

Another one that cracks me up:

Countryman gets on country channel and just spews on and on about how is unable to hold a base, take a base, LOSING THE WAR (OMG!) .. etc.

They talk as if they are not part of the country .. ie: can never take a base, they are ..on country channel.

It just goes on and on .. what a way to 'play' a game .. LOL.

I squelch Traveler and some others now as soon as I log on .. nothing they 'say' is worth hearin.

Then there's the kids who miss their dads ..and seek adult supervision.
(ie: Nuke raggin on Skuzzy .. -shakes head- .. nother one made the list)

Completely disagree. Unless you change the vox system so that everyone can talk on top of each other, the "PM 6 call" is necessary for anyone who enjoys a more "team play" style of game. At times you end up with someone in range who won't shuddup and take his finger off F12. You try to give someone a 6 call on range, it won't happen till this joker quits flapping his gums *AND* everyone else's message who tried to talk during his sermon is done running. And, no, squelch does not help in this situation because the other guy would have to have gum-flapper squelched too.

In general, I would say to the whiners need to evaluate their expectations. If you expect to play in a "team" atmosphere where everyone is watching everyone elses' back, then find a good squad. You can then expect your squaddies to help out when they see it. But if you are flying "lone wolf", don't expect those in your area to be the team-play sorts -- because even if they are, they will be watching their own team-mates more closely than you anyway.

I mean, for crying out loud, the war doesn't revolve around you . . .

What they don't realize, and its been said a gagillion times ... your "6" is your responsibility every single second you are flying ... and after you are dead ... you get a new plane and get to do it all over again and again and again and again.

That is the beauty of this game ... you can play 24/7 if you so choose so why get a bent out of shape over 1 death whether it be any of the conditions that Zazen has pointed out above.

Yes, well than give me friendly fire. You use me as bait, I will up from whatever field you do, and blow your wings off every time I see you. No purpose to that, but to give em a reason not to fk with me again. 99% of the time, I have no problem being bait. I just want to know your using me. tell me "Hey, keep him straight and level a few more seconds, Ill get him for you" Ill stay straight! say "Break left", ill brake left! Just tell me theres a bad guy behind me, and you have a plan for him, ill do what he tells me to, and he is even more likely to get the kill.

And im not saying we should rely on others, but if you see it, call it. Othorwise you are just a lonely little bi*ch.

I use my mic extensivly. I dont have time ussually to look down at my keyboard to find the chk 6 button. Also im not wasting a button on my joystick for one. I fugure if your REALLY requiring a 6 call the least you can do is get speakers or headset and be LISTENING for the 6 call.

When a up and comming crybaby whines about NOT receiving a 6 call I try to make it a point to use this demaning child as bait in future battles, wait till a enemy is on his unaware 6 and while the enemy is concentrating on that easy kill i move it and depending on my current mood ill either wait till the enemy has gotten his kill then i take my shot OR ill fire BEFORE the crybay is ummm totally shot down ie. on fire, pilot wound, wing gone, engine out, ect

All depends on my mood tho.
As was told to me in my early days the first 3 rules of dogfighting are:
1 SA
2 SA
3 SA

See thats the thing i hate though! Im not saying you hve to press the button to check six. Say it on range! Make some noise that indicates an enemy on their six, and if you are going to bait them:

1) Tell them first
2) Let them know what you are doing
3) Kill the guy behind them, before your fellow countryman gets killed!

WilldCrd · « **Reply #28 on:** August 20, 2006, 03:07:43 PM »

I guess i should have been more excplicit. I use my mic on RANGE to "check 6" people 99% of the time.
unfortuantly they either arent listening, couldnt hear me over others yapping, or I got their name wrong somehow.
I DO give chk 6's to ppl I just do it over range.
You also have to consider the fact that in a fight involving more than just 1 on 1 if others are engaged there priority is to fight there fight, not look around and tell other ppl "hey check your 6"
personally i get kinda busy wether im attacking or defending and to date i havent found any opponents that will put "our" fight on hold so I can tell somebody that there is a bandit about to shoot his tail off.

Im not saying to look around and watch others. Im saying if you are following the guy and you see a friendly pass by next to you with an enemy behind him, just press 'T' and say "You got one up your arse". Thats all you have to do.
