The 332nd Flying Mongrels will be in the AvA arena for our squad night tonight. We cordially invite the AvA regulars to show up and shoot us down!  :)

Last time we had our squad night in the AvA arena, a good furball was had by all.

Nifty, thanks for bringing your folks in last night.  Best numbers we've seen in awhile, some really fun low-level fights.  I'm still picking 20mm jacket pieces out of my butt.

I heard there was some dissatisfaction with the present plane set.  Zekes are always difficult opponents, and low level fights between close bases play to the Zekes' strength.  By the time midnight rolled around it looked like the Allies had figured out good ways to handle those circumstances.  We've found that this is often the case with the Japanese plane sets - they're a heck of a surprise to Spit drivers.  I'd urge those whose frustration levels spiked to give it another try - the plane set doesn't change until Monday.

Thanks again, hope to see your people more often.

yes, last night was fun -  thanks for bringing some of your group into ava
have to ask though - was there a sign in the allied hangar stating:
 " HO First, Ask Questions Later "  ? :)
95% of the merges i encountered last night started with the allied spit/p40 or blue barrel plane HOing like crazy ...

Never saw such a behaviour there. I flew spit, and no Zekes or Ki's went HO with me. I got some, got killed by some, that's it, no sign of HO's

I too was repeatedly HO'd, I could care less about the numbers though I can get that type of fight in the MA any time.

Yeah, there were a few complaints of HOs, a few complaints of ganging --  

Sounds like a furball to me.

There were even a few instances of vulching.

All for the most part by people whose names I didn't recognize as AvA regulars (Except for N7, you HOing tard  ;) :aok ).  A little polite explanation of common AvA ettiquette is all that is needed.  Let's not berate them or put them down.  

Some new blood should be welcome and encouraged.  Lets be careful about judging them too quickly or harshly.

No offense meant, Storch, but a little teaching instead of instant dismissal may yield better results than a deserted AvA.  I've always found you to be very helpful when numbers are low and there is "time" for you to do so.  When the numbers are up a bit, though, we ALL (myself included) should be just as willing to help the new folks, not drive them out.

Would hate to see you go, storch.  Always a pleasure flying with you or getting shot down by you.

Happy Hunting, whatever you decide. :aok

Yeah, but you fly rooks in the MA.  Means I can't fly with you, only against you.  And in such a large, cruel world, our paths may never cross . . . :cry


OK, OK, enough of the Hokie.  :aok

ya I don't see many crawLTARDS because I don't vultch.  occassionally I'll kill one in an La7 taking out ords and ack but that's the exception rather than the rule.  occassionally one will vultch me.
