I count one staffer in an "Allied" squad. Its well known we fly for whatever side has the least numbers, but you knew that. Its just fits the" its JG54 against the world" scenario you love to portray. An hour a week, this from the guy who's been back for 10 minutes.

Yes this from the guy whos been back for a month and has seen what Iv seen from the years before I had to leave.


You guys not be named after allied sqauds but you ARE allied squads if you fly allied 99.99% of the time. And since Iv been back I havent even seen you on alot slash I guess Im not on at the right times........ yea thats it.

I'd bet you'd make a great goalie Storch.  You are always deflecting everything away from the goal

LOL so now their's a time frame before you qualify as Axis?

Lets see, I GL'd my first 109 Squadron back in Airwarrior when I had II/JG54 in the Battle of Britain Scenario.

Always had a soft spot for the 109E.  

That was  2000 if memory serves.  Built my first 109 model when I was about 7, which would have been 40 years ago.  We can talk LW history if you want.  My home library has a very large portion of it devoted to the 109 in particular.  Some great stuff on JG54 as well as JG26, JG300, etc.
Are there other qualifications I need to fly Axis?  There always seems to be one more hoop for the rest of us to jump through

Mabey flying axis a few years in the AvA. Canging your name to a axis sqaud and fly a few sorties makes you just about as much as a axis flyer as slash is.

May want to check your numbers there Larry, they are almost as bad as your spelling. Almost.

Friday or Saturday night was probably my first night back in the AvA in 6 months. There were some good fights as TK and a bunch of other Axis players seemed to have the upper hand over the Allies. The striking thing that became apparent early was that the Axis players were for the most part staying about 6 to 8 miles away from the Allied base. An hour later after the numbers dwindled to about 6, the Allied players had the upper hand and were picking the Axis as they climbed out of their field. I logged and went to the MA.

It's just a thought but I'd recommend the MOTD lead off with AvA code of etiquette and that any player on either side call out to countrymen to read the MOTD when they see MA style behavior. If there is no AvA etiquette, which would be surprising with all these threads about it, that's fine but if there is, wouldn't it be a good idea to let new players know what it's supposed to be and remind the old hands as well (blatant rhetorical question.)

Good idea and couldn't hurt but I firmly believe that community fuels etiquette, a MOTD will never fill the bill.

Kinda figured you'd have that kind of response.  Hate to break it to ya but your 109 is an American made plane by an American company and it's just pixals too.

You claim to be a historically based Axis squad?  OK tell me some JG54 history please.  Teach me about them, the guys who flew the 109s and 190s.  I'm guessing I could teach you a whole lot more about them then you could teach me.

You guys always have an out.  It's the plane set, No one flies Axis, the other guy started it.  If i don't have alt I can't beat a Spit in a 109, and on and on.

So I told ya I'd come fly 109Gs with you against the Spits.  You ignored that one.

Talked to the guys I fly with and we decided we'd fly Axis in AvA as a squad.  That's not good enough because we haven't done it long enough to qualify in your book.

The Plane set is screwed up.  Its the Hurricane, it's the Spit.  Again.  offered to come fly against them with you.  

Now it's we've not flown Axis enough to qualify.  The CMs don't fly Axis so they don't 'understand us".

Like i said.  One more hoop all the time, but no effort in the other direction.

Maybe 109Ks and 190D9s vs P40Es would work?

Dan,

without our participation there is no AvA.  the point has been amply proven by JG54 time and again.  we are in fact the most consistent squad to play the AvA, when we vacate the arena dies.  would you want me to prove that point again?

in order for the arena to work people have to want to come in.  in order for people to want to come in there has to be a motivator.  the motivator is action, fights, good fights.

some players might want us to hold steady while they shoot at us if we evade we're stick stirrers or runners if climb to meet the 16k players we're alt monkies, if we stay low we're tree dodgers.  in all of this we are in the arena, we will fight with or without the advantage, we will fight against people who should be ashamed of their usage of being in a hurricane.  we don't log on see that there are better players in there and log off.  we see good players on and immediately broadcast the fact looking for other members to come to the fight.

the arena needs more players like us and not the whimpering sensitive metrosexual detractors that post regarding how we play and what we say.

dan why don't you guys fly allied?  that's what we really need.  the current crop just don't cut it.  not that any ever did.

[Guppy35]

Storch, the only whimpering I'm seeing is from you guys justifying the way you act and the way you play.

You come across as perpetual victims in all this.  The world doesn't understand you and in reality its everyone else who is wrong.  It's always the other guy who has set you up to be wronged.

Is it even remotely possible that you can't see the forrest for the trees here?
