I am mostly looking for a solid wingman. I am very good at the loose deuce and covering my wing, though I admit I do not dive in guns blazing to save someone not in my squad who has gotten themselves in a preventable situation. I am all about the squad, not the war. I am currently running with the Hells Angels squad but the time zones seem to be in conflict. Great guys, do not get me wrong, effect and I had a great LD run my first night but again our schedules are in conflict. I would like to fly with some of you very much, I am on the very technical alt+speed=life but am not afraid to turn in the least. I thank you all in your interest, I will be looking in game for possible folks to wing up who have responded thus far, hopefully with a welcome. This is in no way because of the lack of skill in the HA, it merely is because of schedule differences. Please feel free to send me a private message in game if you would like to test my turning/BnZ/E-Fighter abilities in the TA or DA in a friendly manner. I am all about fun, but I would like to find some solid guys to regularly fly with. My SA is very good I've been told and my gunnery is better than average I would think. I just want some great guys who have the same mindset as myself, fly to live, get some kills, go home. I really enjoy using the tactics in Shaw's book as well as a few others, PLEASE feel free to send me an in-game message as I will be squadless when I log on.
Again, this is nothing against the HA in the least. It's just that the times I fly I may as well be a lone wolf. I would like to get me some solid wingmen who fly smart. I understand that there may be some doubt as to my ability but I am more than willing to prove that I am an adequate pilot that understand patience and E-Retention etc, though as I said before I have been practicing my TnB skills often in a Spit9 and have found some great success using it as an E-Fighter as well as a turner. If you have a good squad I would like to tryout.
I jumped into a squad to fast, and for that I apologize to the HA. I should have flown with them first before realizing the time differences. I give my sincere apologies to them.
Statistically, I am at 115 kills and 42 deaths. I started playing under this handle from a #'s handle. I changed when I felt that I could actually DO something. Some Ratios:
P51-D 28 kills, 6 deaths
Spit9 24 kills, 10 deaths
Spit16 15 kills, 3 deaths
As I said before, I do ok and am improving quickly. I really would like to find some solid wingmen, most of these stats are me flying alone. I think I could be a benefit to a fighter squadron. The only real thing I require is people to fly with and folks willing to teach me more advanced things. The HA's did, but scheduling conflicts seem to be unavoidable in a major way. I am currently focusing on fighters, I do not know how to bomb, I do not know GV's. I am really looking for a technical fighter squadron, I understand the numbers on the compass and have an understanding grasp of the tactics in Shaw's book as well as info on netaces though much of it I haven't put into practice.
Again my sincerest apologies to the HA's. VERY great guys, it's just that my schedule conflicts too greatly with theirs. In the future I would like to fly a week or so with some squads before picking one.
Also, Training in the TA/DA in stall fighting I would very much like. I would like to advance as quickly as possible within the game. I love flying and flight sims and really do think if given an honest shot with some training that I could become a valuable member of a squadron.
Thanks all for your response, I will be looking for some of you in game.
