How to go from Noob to Respected Vet
« on: April 10, 2009, 03:03:13 PM »
So I've noticed a large amount of threads denouncing the new players of AH.  So I figured why not try to assist the new players, with tips and tricks to move up the AH social hierarchy. I'll go first and the rest can follow.

I'm Coprhead, been addicted for about 3yrs now.  I enjoy flying 51s, 40s, and 47s. 

My advice to all new players is lose the 8675309 name and pick a call sign that's easy to say and remember.

     Respect has more to do with how you act than how long you' ve been
playing.  Frankly I think some of the more thin skimmed sisters need to
butch it up and stop worrying about status and "respect".

  There were those in the past like Sysprobe who would help newcomers and join thier plane to help them get started. Now your best Info will be found in the Training Arena because most are very impatient with noobs in the MA asking "How do I take off" or "How do I fire Rockets?" You can teach yourself by studying control settings with much trial and error but try not to annoy the "seasoned" for they will smite you with thier wit.  :O

Oh, another thought, ALT-F4 does not equal hyper drive or unlimited ammo.  It does close AH quickly in case your Mrs/Mr/Boss shows up with their laser guided puffy ack.

Just like you read the real world of air combat is you have to keep looking around you even when you are busy fighting and shooting someone down. The more eyes there are in your immediate area the fewer people there are actually looking around. It was the same way in World War II. NEVER depend on a check six from anyone.

If ever you get shot on the runway even once move to another field.

It gives the game such powerful invisibility that you have to start the game up all over again when you use it.  ;)

Wait, tommy tutone wasn't the name of a guy though... it was the name of the entire band.  I don't know what that guy's name was...it was tommy something or another, but not tutone.

Tommy Heath (googled).

There was a guy who's handle was 8675309.  Used to tell him "check 6 Jenny".  Best numbers to pick for a nubers guy.

Welcome to the community.   

Oh god yes that great advice

It will make it a ton easier to give a proper check 6 (sometimes there isnt time to cycle through the names)

Course reading the instructions in the help section is COMPLETELY out of the question.

What I did when I first started playing is print out the keyboard commands for easy refrence.

I dont mind helping new players. But I do expect them to learn the basics like. Starting your engine, and taking off on their own.
