What happened to Knits?

LOl Kweassa.

I actually used to think Bish had the largest numbers of low skill pilots compared to the other teams, however, for what I've seen these past few days/week the Knits have stolen that possition.

Like I said before, just miss the good old days and some of my good old friends.

Ive flown all three, and I must say, the rooks are by far the strongest, as far as loyalty and coordination. But as long as my squad commander (A true veteran, so they ARE still there, lol) stays Knight, I stand firm at his side.

Actually had fun at the land grab game last night!

took 3 fields down south on the TT map with the BOPS and friends defending against us. was a good fight until the LTARS joined in the defense and turned the tide at about the same time as many of us started to log for the night.

That was an impressive "Borg-Horde" at 30! :O

Heh, I saw you bouncing from field to field Ghi :)

I was at 49 and it was ALL Gvs and IL2s, and I lost my radiator to an M16. So I come back in a heavy 190a8, 30mm for il2s and a 1k bomb for GVs....

Only by the time I get back there's not a freaking friendly in sight and there's 15+ enemies all over the place. Your lgay7 popped me rather quickly.

So, that fight was totally gone, I moved to another. A43, was it? The one our CV was attacking. I get there and take off in an f4f4 and one of the first planes I shoot down is by that guy that just shot me down! I think you moved there just as I did.

Pity that Knits can't take a field worth a damn. We had 15+ GVs on the ground, the ENTIRE town was flat, the ENTIRE field was flat (down to every last ord/ammo/fuel/watertower), and yet... STILL we can't freaking take it.

It was enough to make me give up and quit.

On top of that, it seems there was no "good" fight. Was always 1 side totally gangbanging the other, be it us or them.

Still fly nit when I'm on.............

not sure if I'm a old vet................

Noticed my Squad is nearly gone....................

NwBie, Spacer, WMLute, and ROCKY are about the only squadies I see anymore.

Noticed a definate lack of 6 calls among nits!!!!!!!

Hey I'm a TEAM flyer!  I talk it up and I call 6s because the more of us there are the more the BADGUYS have to worry about!  So keeping others up and flyin is a definate BENEFIT TO ME!

was on a BADGUY tryin to clear a 6 and firin and saw tracers all around me, rolled and looked back and there is 6 or 7 nits behind me and 1 (yes only one) badguy back there firein at me.  And NOT a single one of those nits said anything!

Have had this happen several times!

Got to the point I started ranting at em about it on vox!  I don't rant long.......

Told em i'm a team flyer, that means 6 calls and talk it up, no 6 calls means i'm gonna fly alone or find some vets that understand team flyin so enjoy l8rz......

But hey there are some TEAM flyers among the nits!!!  AND good ones they are TOO!  You guys know who you are and great flyin with ya!

And I still see vets from time to time and fly with em!

So we haven't all LEFT or gone somewhere else.

Wilbuz :D

And that RedTop guy!!!!!!!! GRRRRRR!!!!!

Shot me down in the FSO he did!!!!!!!!!! *%$@#^%^

Nice shootin RedTop  (BTW RedTop is a team flyer, used to fly nits, and is missed!)

I wondered what had happened to the Knights.

Lately flying between 8pm-1am pacific time good nit sticks are logged on and great furballing happens. Earlier in the day knight land is simply depressing because of stated reasons and the rooks alt monkey hoards.

Knights remind me of AW "C" landers. Great defenders and furballers, but short on the playing well together bit......:D

Having spent the last few months Rook, it looked like alotta squads and good sticks went Rook. Guess they like easy mode by numbers rather than even good fights. Happens when you get old I hear....;)

Salute Wilbus its been a blast flying with you and enjoy having you as a bish. you are a classic team player you check 6 all the time. i remember when i was a Knight there was a lack of check 6s but i dont sweat it anymore. heres what i do if no one is check 6in folks then its time to start riping new ones cause we only going to save the base or take a base with team work sometimes it works sometimes it dont but hey if you dont try then you might as well be a loner then.

Bish put a lot of missions together cause we like to be organized more then the other two countrys. granted some of the missions are dweebish but you got to have some fun missions as well. i know with the LTARs we normaly do one fun raid a day to just cut up and have fun then its back to taking bases and defending them.

so i have read some that say 1 year is still a noob 2 year is still a noob 3 year just a step above noob so someone tell me what they think is a vet in this AH life.

Salute.

I would have to agree.
When going against rooks you rarely get to fight just one or two of em for more then 30 seconds before it seems like they ALL show up.

Over the last 6 months or so I've noticed bish starting to be more like that.

Being a Knit myself. I'd say there are only a handful. a dozen or two that are like that.
Most arent.

I'll rush over to help anyone I see looks like they are in trouble and will announce Im commig to help.

Knits. Outside of a couple dozen. I could have 6 on me and I've seen some fly right by LOL
