I think one important thing is being polite to everyone (doesn´t count Hoers :D), even to not so great sticks. My favorite guy is Gianlupo, good stick and polite and he´s got a great avatar :)

One of the best avatars on the BBS, and one of the better people in the game.

Gian is good peopole.

Which type of respected vet are we talking about, the one that gets on 200 and tears you up if you shoot them down or the on that still knows how to salute.  Some of the "respected vets" aren't very respectable.

Its the way you shoot them down bud, I love it when you have 3v1 and all planes are flying low and slow, thats not a bad gang because it really does help your stick skillz but when someone who enters the fight late with 350mph under their butt it doesnt help at all for the person getting the kill or the person being ganged. Honestly my advice for newcomers is to go to TA or get in the DA with someone who is a good stick. I have never been to the TA but had acouple of "vets" help me out in the DA getting the basics down then I just found out what worked for me in MA after alot of practice.


OH and dont assume the answer to all the problems is to drop the hangars you will have alot more fun in the long run if you learn how to truly fight :salute

If it takes full power to taxi to the hanger, your gear is probably up.

How to go from Noob to Respected Vet

These behaviors might be useful in your quest:

  • Fly as a team member foregoing your rank and score.
  • Get a significant number of your kills in non-uber-planes.
  • Only use the re-arm pad when your fighter hangers are down.
  • When flying in fighter planes set score\perk to fighter (not Attack).

Most importantly have fun flying.  The above suggestions are linear in scope by design.

So I figured why not try to assist the new players, with tips and tricks to move up the AH social hierarchy.
