I'm amazed this thing still has legs....

So....

1) There are a handful of squads out there that historically are known for both the quality of the individual sticks and the tendency to fly in a group. I've been a member of two such squads before I joined 71 SQD. I know that just like "lays potato chips" I'm rarely going to get just one. I much prefer the squads that "muck it up" vs those that "fly smart" {read high energy blow & go, rinse and repeat}. Personally I find groups like The Few, Muppets, 80th, AK's and others to be great fun to fly against...

2) I think the Fews SDL achievements speak for themselves, talk is cheap so I see no need to posture.

3) Anytime you get guys that are competitive and feel that they got swooped you tend to get hard feelings, anyone who knows me or flies around me even a bit realizes that I almost always work hard to keep guys out of a good fight. i'd rather lose a good fight then "win" a bad one.

4) One of the fundamental differences (not right, wrong, good or bad) between 71 SQD and the other "elite" groups is that we do not emphasize skill set, look for "hot sticks" or even have a formal squad night. We are collectively (in the "opinion of many") a bunch of great guys, not a bunch of great sticks. While many squads have to constantly "recruit" talent we find ourselves constantly looking to slow down so we can maintain a sense of "who we are".
Occasionally this means we lose quality guys like TnDep who feel the need for more or we are forced to kick guys to the curb who feel that being a "hot stick" allows them to be less then a good companion.

I've flown online since the end of Genie/beginning of AW/AOL and been here and gone more then a few times. If not for 71 SQD to fly with and groups like the few and those others above to fly against I'd have hung it up again long ago. At the end of the day who you fly against is almost as important as who you fly with. Personally I'd like to thank not only The Few but all of the other great squads who have provided both me personally and 71 SQD hours and hours of enjoyment

[TnDep]

  snap Hope all is well, I concur with your statement and would also like to thank all the great gents and ladies who make this game fun. 

Take care of yourself and God Bless

Redtop pulled me off.

lucky you! the best ive ever got was a pat on the back

[RTHolmes]

Is there any chance I might be able to fly with you and 71 RAF for a day, show me how this game should be played aye?

you're welcome any time

you just got to remember to scream mine! a coupla times when you steal our kills and your golden

[SunBat]

71 Sqd has some of the very best sticks in the game that happen to also be the best natured players in the game. They are a perfect example of why any talk of what squad is best is silly.  I'm sure if 71 went on a self-promotion campaign they would be in these gay lists of top squads ppl keep throwing up here.  I could list a number of other squads that are in exactly the same situation.

What does "the best" mean anyway?  To make such a statement is frickin' stupid. When the AoM beats the DFC in this year long challenge I hope I never see us say we are the best. It just means we won a silly challenge that we made up against another squad that is good at squad duels. There are so many outstanding squads with outstanding, upstanding, low-profile players any list, or declaration of who is the best is myopic and ignorant.

Is merciless ganging the same as having effective wingmen?

"Effective wingmen" I can buy if it's one or two guys you're having to watch out for when engaged with a single con.

When I engage one of you and look back and see six of you dropping in FAST, that's different.

[Reaper90]

Your speaking from other's players opinions and perspectives which is a No-No, if you don't know it first hand and it has nothing to do with you it's best to leave it alone. 

You mis-read. My opinions aren't based on what other have said on the BBS, but what members of your squad have posted themselves. Very different.

On a friendly note I don't know if I've ever dueled you 1v1 and I'd be happy to take you up on that offer on some friendly duels.  I'll be on tonight for a little bit around 7p.m. central and I'm off Monday and Tuesday maybe we can make it happen.  
 

I'd love to. I'll be on this afternoon hopefully and maybe tomorrow evening.

Reaper90,

Is there any chance I might be able to fly with you and 71 RAF for a day, show me how this game should be played aye?

ummm

But being the most elite stick in AH2, 2009 ToC champion and highest kill streak record holder without a death. They can send me one for testing.

But next time, if a manufacture was smart enough to source experten players for their opinions when it comes to beta testing of a product then I would be more then willing to do so.

 

LOL Kazaa, no one in our squad needs to show you how to play this GAME given how uber you apparently are, I mean, we all know you're the best based on how many times you've told us you are!  


XXXOOO hugs and kisses 

[grizz441]

I'm not impressed by the ergonomics of the throttle one bit.
