Tuned vox & mega squads

[viper215]

I doubt your squad is as big as it is due to "historical reasons", it's just a haven for the unskilled lemmings.


ack-ack

you pulled off some impossible shots in the whirble...

Ostwind    Wirbles are for pansies

Nice sig pic, Banshee.

At least they circled the problem   

(figured I'd bust your balls so I could fit in)

It was either ford or dodge...I couldn't find a good 2500 Ram logo

Limit vox channels to 32.  Wouldn't bother me.

And here I thought my sig would give away the idea that I was joking.

Thats why I put the biggie eye icon there,

The BoPs can be considered a mega squad, but I think they're probably the most honorable ones. Unlike most mega squads, It has some good sticks, and not everyone in the squad is clueless. I know FALCON himself is a good stick, Thndr makes some fun high alt bomber missions, which I love flying escort for, along with a number of other guys that I trust to fly next to. FALCON I think the only reason BoPs are being targeted is because you're the first one who spoke up. I think the Chawks, Pigs On the Wing, LCA, and CLAIM JUMPERS are far worse.

Well....

I happen to be C.O. of a pretty large group of names.....but not as many active players...

We have guys on VOX on the time who are not in the squad who just want tp fly with us and have a laugh. I saw we were mentioned in that "other" thread. We have some pretty good sticks in the squad. We also have our share of guys who could care less how they die or what they did wrong in the process to get that way. ALl they care about os having a laugh , a good time whne they log on and some freindships made along the way.

Everyone in the squad knows our VOX channel....in fact I'd say that there are quite a few knights that know our channel....AND if anyone asks we're more than happy for them to tune in and just fly with us.

71 sqd. was started about 6 years ago...(I think..Im older now ) We're tried the Attack wing/Bomber wing thing. Didn't work out then. We were never looking to grow all that large. It's just evolved over the years. But onm those lists of pilots you see under Batfinks Squad , RedTops squad and Snaphooks squad prolly only half if that many in EACH fly at all...and some of those only ever so often.

I understand that a true MEGA squad can dictate a fight and influence greatly an area of operations. I just don't see it being as big a deal as some would make it out to be.

If I remember right , we've had 2 official squad days since I been the C.O. of this squad which was day one. Now on those 2 days we put up some big numbers of pilots....1st year I think we had like 41 and last year we had like 28. We're not really a land grabbing squad so fighter sweeps are normally what's going on.

We have guys that like ALL aspects...GV's , Buff's , attack , land grab , and furball. We have just fiighter geeks.

Bascially what I am saying is don't let numbers fool you....we may have "numbers" but not all that many active. We also are usually spread all over the place when we have 10 or 12 guys on anyway. I make very little attempt at herding them up unless they want to do a sweep or something. Basically....I'm just a name on a roster who happened to be the C.O.

Thndr makes some fun high alt bomber missions, which I love flying escort for,

Thanks, sir.  <S>

In my personal opinion, I don't mind mega wing squads.  Because even if members of that squad were NOT members, they would still act the same way.

<S> Buster and TFC always a fun group of guys to fly with

[hitech]

If that is true then it is the worst way to do it...there are much cleverer ways such as multiple similar small arenas like air warrior...small maps....no ability to hide under dar....limited vox channels.... etc

Me thinks you are assuming something that is not true.....I think the size of a squadron was made more because of historical reasons and perhaps programming....the griefers use the number a s away to try to remodel the game to their liking...

Moot is 100% correct about why squad limits exist.They exist because group dynamics change when not everyone in one group know each other.  And I will say point blank I believe MEGA squads are bad for the game.

I won't start a separate thread for this but....


I wish HiTech would stop using the spell checker. The entertainment value of his posts has decreased significantly since he started using it. 

Now people will have to wait another 2 or 3 years before they can complain about bringing up HiTech's opinion of mega squads in old quotes.

Looks pretty cut and dry to me...   

[Murdr]

you continue to warp things as you wish to see them...

I believe this the part where I get to say...."told you so  "

There will be one differance if things keep going the way they are now.  The argument will between 100 member squads and 500 member squads with the 100 member squads saying how the 500 member squads are skilless tards.  Also will be brought up how the "art" of hording is ruined by the defending of bases.
