I know this says Pipz, but it is Henchman....
 The chat on 200 didn't bother me because I don't take what is said personal. There was no conflict between Skyrock and I. I just wanted the opinions of others on this topic. I sometimes enjoy reading the fights that go on between people as I am heading to the fight.:aok

I'm pretty technical about this... when corkyjr falls past me with one wing and a smoking fan screaming follow meeeeeee.. I snap roll and try my best to beat him to the ground.  Another thing that seems popular in our squad is AOS (Auger On Shuff) it is an art form in its own. This is accomplished by shear timing and skill... as I flare to land, several 38s auger at high speed right on my plane..... the closest gets a cookie... the most artistic gets 2 cookies.  :aok

I pride myself on not kill stealing but over about a two week period a while back I just couldn't resist stealing two kills from one of my squaddies.  I don't know what came over me.  Well, one was a legit steal and the other was while both my squaddie and his opponent were going down due to collision damage and to make it even better my squaddie and I were in JU87's and I just couldn't resist getting a kill in an 87.

Anyway, I gave them back by giving my squaddie a couple of freebies that I could have easily killed but let him come in to take them instead.

That type of give and take wouldn't happen if it weren't "all in the family".
I edit a lot of my posts.  Get used to it.

Most times it's hard to find a good fight in the MA so if ur squaddie or even countrymen for that matter are engaged 1v1 in a fight there is no problem helping him out if he ASK'S for it or you could ask him if he needs help. Just diving in unannounced is certainly NOT the thing to do.

Example=A few nights ago I was having yet another great fight with Geaux(registered trade mark of JG's) in his 38 and I was in a D-pony...Well the fight went on for a few minutes on the deck and I was lucky enough to get some hits on him. Then BNZ was flying over and asked me if i was "Ok" and I told him "yes, i'm good thanks for asking" I didn't know at the time if I was going to win or loose the fight but either way I wanted to finish it alone. Not less then 20 seconds later a guy who's name i will leave out dives in and picks Geaux and kills him. I did get the kill on him but I don't care about that since I didn't finish him off. So then, this guy on range says "sorry bucky but he was all over ya"...I replied "No he wasn't but......whatever".

Anyway, I would have to say TEAMWORK is the answer IMO and teamwork sometimes means using that great feature called 'vox' and finding out the situation before doing something that isn't wanted.  I see countless idiots (scorepotatos) porking the heck out of a field that is soon to be taken and this is definately not TEAMWORK.

Teamwork for me.

I love flying with my Squad.  As XO of the group I fly alot of lead.  Our CO and myself are seperated by some thousands of miles.  That and other scheduling hurdles lends to myself and the CO only flying together a few times a week.  When he is on I fly his wing.  I can go all night on his wing and possibly never get guns on a badguy, but he knows his six is clear and that he has an alert and capable wingman watching out for him.  I love it! I could care less about kills when I am flying wingie.  Of course the other nights I'm usually first in, guns ablaze trying to kill as many red guys as I can.

Teamwork within a group of close friends is invaluable to me.  I can not stress enough how the feeling of a close knit group who looks out for eachother over themselves outwieghs any individual glory one might find on their own.  Some guys could care less I'm sure, but if I could offer any advise, if you have never flown with another who values teamwork and group results, I highly recommend it.  Nothing is more gratifying than helping another out of a tough spot and making it home with the whole gruppe, and landing those kills as a team, for me atleast.

I perfer the team work, but don't find much outside the squad as i did a few months ago. Their some guys  i recognize that always work well with others then their are those that use you as bait. I find myself running into more of the latter as of late.

In the 13th TAS the greatest squad achievement was to steal Rude's kill and have him killshooter himself on you.

I never managed it and I don't know if anyone ever did before I joined.  I tried though.:aok

SkyRock ,

As a fairly new "CrazyGang" memeber I have flown a bit with both Ko and Hench . Both are getting better at this .

I doubt that Hench wanted to steal anything , he just was trying his best to help his friend .  

I have read closely what you have written and it seems like a reasonable question to ask from a vet as yourself .

Watching a  newer player I see that "reading" the SA is more important and harder that just flying and shooting . That said given time I doubt much that it would have happened then as they would have been better "reading" what's around them .

I find both of these men to be nice guys and they seem to like and want to get better , alot better at this game . I believe they will be around a long time .

===

Now as for me , I do love to steal Pipzs kills , and give him **** on the squad vox channel :) Why do you ask ? Why do this???? Cause I really do like him alot :eek: Donno why if I like some one I like kidding them so much but I do hehe .

 

be well
