P.S.A.M - Please Shoot At Me

is a squad in the training arena dedicated to being target drones for those wanting to practice gunnery.

just a heads up to all the newer guys out there, if you look on the roster and see a PSAM member online feel free to shoot at them without warning, something you must not do to other people learning without permission.
so please shoot at us if you see us, and ask any questions you like.

for further info on psam please contact either Lengro or myself in the Training Arena.

This is awesome, should be MUCH better than the lead adjusted gun site I try to learn with (it's not working so great :(  ) Now if only you guys won't talk bad about me because of my pitiful gunnery :)

Thanks for starting something I bet will be very popular with us noobs.

Nice idea Batfink, there's only so far that you can go using drones.  I'll give the other trainers a head's up so they know what's going on.  

Also, for those interested, trainer's would usually be happy to provide the same service if you ask and if they're not otherwise engaged.  Being the target is good for the soul and toughens the skin (and ego)...:aok

I love this idea BatfinkV!  I've been taking folks who ask to the DA, doing about the same thing.  I would really like to join your squad in the TA as well if it's not a problem...

I wouldnt mind being a target, Might help my own acm. Starting to get my reversals working consistantly now.
Forgot who said this while trying to take a base, but the quote goes like this. "I cant help you with ack, Im not in attack mode" This is with only 2 ack up in the town while troops were there, waiting. The rest of the town was down.

I am "usually" respectful.  Although some smack talking is part of the game :)

If you come up with a training plan let me know.  Start with small turns moving to over the nose lead shots etc...   Heck, I might want to be a student :aok

no problem at all MTN, 4deck.
there are no training plans, just be a target drone and assist those that might swamp the official trainers on a busy night. most of all, have fun with other psam members shooting each other. this isnt a recruiting thread, just a heads up to the training comunity.

As a noob to this game, I would like to truely thank you guys for taking the time and effort to help new players like myself.  My previous game community just shunned new blood and I think that it had a lot to do with it's demise (I can blame myself for that as well, being one of the vets).  Although I always was nice and helpful (abbreviated help), I could have spent a lot more time helping new players get the hang of it.  This concept you came up with to train is also useful to you vets in a way as well and hopefully I can reciprocate with other noobs when I become better.

Anyways Kudos and I hope to see you guys in the TA!
