In case you thought otherwise...

No one in this game to my knowledge goes out of their way to NOT give a check 6.  Most here are good folks in that way.  That is if they see it - they call it.  If they don't see it...they don't.  It IS that simple.

It is ultimately your responsibility for your own SA (Situational Awareness).  :old:


Carry on.  :salute

Meh ... Those that complain about not getting a check should probably take their meds and have a nap.

Y-y-you mean it's not every single other player's responsibility to give me a check six?  And if they don't do it, they AREN'T bad people?!

Gotta be lies.   :noid

If you think you are having a 1v1 in the Main Arena, your SA has failed you.

I know at times the comms can be delayed by as much as 5 seconds or so.. Was flying on a busy Friday night when I gave a check6 to a fella and those precious few seconds made just about worthless. I know it was delayed because my wingman and I have a ventrillo server for comms which we use apart from the in game radio. His response to my call was a negative one because he was blown up a mere second or less after getting it because of the delay. I responded in kind by waiving the usual surcharge for such calls. I guess my point is the radio is not flawless, and when the server is very busy these calls can be delayed a little. Just saying..

I concur Slade.  Further when vox is getting bogged down make sure you have your check 6 button set for quick and easy use.  I use it more than verbal warnings as a verbal can and will be too late at times.

I love yelling "check six" on range just to watch 15 guys in a furball scatter for no reason. I also like to yell "watch out xxxxx" whithout giving "xxxxx" any idea of the approach vector of the bad guy. I have been known to yell "Check 12" to a squaddie, just before I finish off that determined anti-squaddie HO and killshoot myself.

I also feel that I have to point out that these are learned behaviours.

Thank you for your kind words, mr. Slade.

Thanks also for the reminder that the one not giving me a chk6 might not be a bad person, just incapable to understand my true situation for one reason or another. Like having a strategic negotiation with wife ack over his shoulder or something like that.  :salute
