Looking to start Navy squad

[Getback]

I still recommend joining a squad with a sturdy foundation. You can learn alot from squadies, and it's fun logging on, and having some squaddies to talk to/fly with. The problem with starting a squad when you're new is nobody knows your name, or your rep so people aren't willing to follow. Also, there's nobody to serve as a mentor to you, or any squadies that may join your squad. So really you're cheating you and any potential squadies out of what I really enjoy most...squad affiliation with a group of guys you enjoy being around and whom you can trust to fly with.

Rgr that.

Yes all of this.. Heh but like I said, I want to fly in a Navy squad. Im good in the FM-2 if you look at my kills / deaths with it im decent, or at least I think I am + I think the FM-2 is awsome , and Im 15, havent found a Navy squad on Rooks that would allow someone my age in, they are all 18 or 21+
Thats also why im trying to find some people to fly with, I figure if I fly with people and they like me they might want to start a squad or ask me to join theres

Everyone is pretty much on target here,

I'm probably close to 3 times your age, and been a WW2 history buff all my life.  Due to PC/internet problems I haven't flown much online, but I've been studying the game, been on this board asking questions, setting up equipment, flying some offline missions for several months now.

Finally have a decent set up and finally in the online game.

I wanted to start a squad, because I had very specific ideas about the type of squad I wanted to fly with.

Because I didn't have experience and no real standing in the community, I decided to join one instead.

In just a few hours my squaddies have taught me more than I learned reading, etc for months.

Mostly they taught me that I didn't know squat.

You will be much better prepared to start a squad later if you get some squad experience now, but perhaps you will find some experienced guys who will start a squad with you.

Don't limit yourself to Navy planes right now, more important to find some guys who will help you learn.

Trust me, you won't believe how complex this game can be.

Good luck,

Jim

Thanks, I do know a good bit about the game, I mean.. I dont know everything, there is a lot to learn heh, but yeah, like I just recently figured out how to dive bomb and Im getting good at that or at least thats what I think. Also I have used a lot of planes, and I just do best in FM-2 and im very use to it thats why I mainly fly that, its just, an awsome plane (and I think the carrier part of the game is fun)! And yes this game is awsome, and very complex

Seems a shame you can't hook up with a squad because of your age.

Young and new players are vital to the expansion of this game's player base, not to mention HTC's success.

I can see why you would feel you had to start one, to be in one.

Best of luck to ya!

1st,

Welcome to the game...

2nd,

Good luck in your efforts forming a squad...

3rd,

How about a reality check?

I couldnt find anything for you in tour 106 so this is literally your 1st tour. Are you even a paying member yet? Your not doing badly at all for a new player but 20%+ of your kills are PT's and LVT's. There is an awful lot to learn and a number of squads that would be willing to teach you. As mentioned above it will cut your learning curve down an awful lot. In the end if starting a squad is what you want to do you would be much better equipped to provide leadership and mentoring once you in turn have been mentored...

[Wolfie]

Just my two cents, but if VF-17 invites you to join them, I think its a mistake not to.
They have a lot to share. Besides, loyalty to a chess piece over a squad is stupid imo.
Good luck what ever path you choose.

You have a navy squad willing to give you a chance, seems like a heck of an opportunity. Don't know why it's so important for you to fly rooks.

I guess you're just determined.

Good luck and <S>

Ah you noticed, we are very selective about how we associate with.
