Aces High - The first six months

[Kingpin]

Understood, like I said some of us will jump in and see if we have fun. We don't look for people who don't work together though some of the most fun we have is when we run into a squad in the MA. Or into superior numbers.

What we really want is squad v squad dueling brackets or KOTS style battles with everyone flying the same plane, where the only variables that exist are the pilots/squads.

Understood.  The Squad Dueling League, which existed in the past, was precisely that.  My understanding is the the SDL fights were more difficult to organize and tended to create more animosity than anything else.

The nice things about FSO: one, it already exists, and two, most squads are moved to different sides each FSO, so the squad you fight against in this series may be flying beside you on your side the next month.  FSO therefore tends to create a much greater sense of comradery than anything you'll see in the MA or an SDL setup.  Then again that may not be what you guys are looking for.

Hope this info helps.

With reference to FSO events v MA.  I have no issue going to FSO events however, too often they are not possible due to my time zone and availability.  I live in Western Australia and recently have managed 6 hours a weekend in flying time.  I want to get as much fun out of that time as I can.

I did fly an FSO event some time ago and the group we were assigned to never saw an enemy plane.  I am sure it is not always like that but you can understand how I would not want to commit to that when I get to fly so little.

never seeing a plane is rare usually in my experience its a long flight with one hell of an exciting and hectic end, everyone brings their 'a' game. With the .wingman command even on long flights now you can walk away for a bit(or take a shower as is my custom)

It's nice to see The Damned returning to the venerable days of glory. 10-12 years ago there were 60 + Damned playing on a regular basis. TC, would be fun to watch Fool and Bruv in a 1v1, no? Bwahahahaha!

Good Morning Max,
I have wanted to bring the Damned back to its number of regular players, etc..for some time..

When skyyr and Kruel came and started flying AH, we all talked via pm's and on the phone and I invited them in and asked them to help build the squad back up, in which I'm grateful for their help...

Haha, yes, Fool and Bruv, in a 1 vs 1 would be awesome to watch if they both were flying at their best ability...

Like TC stated, we are working on it, but given the kind of numbers flying today, I don't think 50-60 is plausible anymore, I think we will be focusing more on quality than quantity.

Besides it will be impossible to make a video highlighting 50 people!

Someone should mention the primary membership requirement for joining The Damned.

You have to be able to stand constant Star Wars jokes and other geekery on vox.

Yeah, yeah, maybe trying to do a perfect Alec Guinness impression while dogfighting temporarily reduces combat effectiveness a bit. But if we give that up, the terrorists win!

Cool I was speaking shyriiwook in the Pigs vox earlier maybe you could have helped translate.

You must also be able to do a perfect Christian Bale Batman voice and apply different quotes from Top Gun and Iron Eagle to various in game situations.

Kevin Conroy>Christian Bale, Michael Keaton, and all other Bats put together

Except Adam West. Adam is da man!

[Kruel]

Oh and one last thing:

You must continually strive to be a better pilot, using any aids available to you, putting in some time in the DA perfecting your craft, practice your wingman tactics and enjoy communication, have the utmost trust in your squadmates, value efficiency and teamwork. Be able to give/take constructive criticism.

Lastly, not giving a damn about the outside noise/hate from outside the squad.
