What to do, wife wants to play...

[Dragon]

I say sign her up, let her play as much as she wants for that 1 week every month.

[skullman]

go for it.At least it is something you can do together

[Brooke]

Oh, man.  These responses were awesome and hilarious:

"The most important question is...Do you have two computers?"

and

"Think about it. Pros 1) You get to give her yer old gear and you get new stuff. Think CH  [etc.]"

 

Seriously, of course you should go for it.  If she doesn't, no problem -- she just tried it out.  If she loves it, great -- you showed someone an excellent new hobby.

Yesterday my wife asked if she could fly with me. Is it a good idea to let the wife get involved?  I am kinda flattered and puzzled that she wants to fly with me. Normally she is firing highly accurate 88MM rounds at me while I play. Does anyone have any experience with the wife ack suddenly turning friendly? Can this situation turn out to be a disaster? I am also wondering what a good handle would be for her if everything works out. I was thinking that "Orange" would go nice with "Grape." Its easy to read so people won't have a hard time giving check 6's. Is there anything that I should avoid doing, like tuning to squad channel while she is on?   

   Ok, first of all, if she's already hooked then all the better, but if not then you should get her hooked before you do this so she wont just up and quit; train her so she is good enough to gun for you, and enough so that she can fly but not dogfight very well, then if she is just trying to get help you will not have just made an enemy that poses much of a threat. Next you should let her fly with you, but not while doing anything that will screw up your campain if you get shot down, that way you can see if she will just be reporting your location to her old sides' fighters. After that, then steadily train her leaving dogfighting for last.

You should teach her how to fly, teach her why everyone here loves the joy of flight, why we like our squad mates "second family"...uhm.

In short,you should make her one of us, and let her figure out why she NEEDS to play.

From what Grape wrote, it sounds like she already plays and against him or he gets a lot of friendly fire coming his way, and he sounds like he is worried about a trick, I would be, I trust everybody but my gf and my gunner, oh ya words to live by.

Of course it's a good idea!
May turn out she loves to fly as well.
Which means you get to spend time together
doing something you both really enjoy.

11 years ago I watched my husband (Zeb) playing Air Warrior after he told me he thought he might be getting invited into a squad - before that I had not really taken a lot of interest, but suddenly realised there was more to it than I had originally thought!  I watched in awe as I went online, passing through the OC to HQ and then on to a field and finally chose his plane and took off.  He soon met up with Spiff and I watched while he fumbled to accept an invitation to the Krait Squadron - took about 3 goes I think.   

I was totally amazed at the level of detail and kept asking him every night if he was going online to fly.... in the end he suggested I got my own account..... and the rest, as they say, is history!
