no flapsup this is were i disagree your teaching these new guys the bad habits and they find it much easier to shoot buildings then leaning to fly why not take these guys to the TA and teach them the basic ACM instead leading them down the shed burning fest farm road get them interested in what this game is really about .i try to help any one thats asks for it. 1 night i was in mw and a new guy ask a guy how to dive bomb the guy told him he wasnt going to teach him how to kill him .well i that was totaly uncalled for so i pm'ed the guy and told him to meet me in the TA and i would teach him well it took a whole 10 min's of my time and he caught on very fast .and the best part of it is when you do help people and you see them land kills you win too dont about about anyone else but i feel pretty damn good about it
Thats awesome Lazy, props to you for teaching someone...
seriously, and yes it does feel good to see someone learn from something you can teach them.
As for my own backyard, remember the SOAR sqd isnt mine, and its not my call on how its run. On our website I provide a section dedicated to acm, flying with a wingman, etc.. not on anything I have learned from the game really, but stuff I have found on the web mostly that can be easily shared.
Thats where I do my teaching and I encourage our members to read it. Along with the general questions that are asked by newer players over our sqd/country channel.
I cant tell exactly where your disagreeing with me at.. if your saying that (in this case) I have somehow taught these Knights that Eagle Eyes witnessed today in EW killing a town, then I just really dont know what to say, and if your implying that I have somehow taught the whole AH community(those that practice such things anyway) how to shoot up a twn with no oposition for such a minimal amount of perks that its really just not worth investing the time doing, again I dont know what to say! I have been gone about the last 6 months so I cant say whats been taught, or what the new "dweebie" trend is within the game really. Like you ( I assume) I have plenty of perks to use up (in the thousands) so doing things like this is not only not interesting or fun for me, there is no real need for it.
"get them interested in what this game is really about" -The game is "about" differant things to differant people, it can be as simple as one guy who only wants to fly a p38, or a Spit or a sqd that focuses mainly on gv'ing, or a guy who cant fly well but is a monster in a tank, or the guys in EW right now with 2 bomber sorties and +100% to over +500% because they drop bombs in a Lanc or something then bail and up a Ju87 for the extra % hits(its my guess thats how they do it anyway). If your telling me that the game is all about acm, then I have to ask why is there tanks, cv's, bases to take, bombers, attack mode, strat bases, ground guns, pt boats, and on and on..
I realize it is ACES HIGH not GV'ers LOW (hah) but its not my place to dictate how someone achieves their goal of fun within the game.. while I will encourage those around me(as I have in the past) to become better pilots everyone learns at their own rate, if help is asked for I will gladly give it.
