It amazes me how guys get in the air during a CAP over the field and when you tell them on that new channel from the tower to check their 6, incoming con. They were clueless, and you could hear how rattled they were when they thank you. I hear more often where did that con come from these days. I know this is a game, but it's a brutal game. And lately players are treating looking out for themselves as fighter pilots like they were playing some other kind of game.
If anything, this channel helps introduce new players in the fog of things to look around all the time by how often they get yelled at to look behind them. They putter along once wheels up like they are in a mario bros. race or something. And it dosen't help all the guys in run stangs and dirty doras who climb up out of icon range then dive back in at 500 and suddenly show up out of nowhere, run off and repeat. There is a lot of out of sight out mind these days getting players towered, and why some energizer bunny shows up 30 seconds after the radar comes up to put it back down again. The new tiny fighter icons on radar is making players lazy.
Now days I login, look out the tower, and start telling players on ch7 to check 6 for a poni or dora moving like a 262 up under their tail from otta nowhere. Some are the same players night after night. Ch7 is a mixed blessing.
