6 of the "top" fighter squads have less then 2 members?
« on: December 18, 2023, 01:58:14 PM »
I was curious who had the top rated squads these days and I noticed that 6 of the squads are what appears to be single players.
Looks like one person can be a squad now if I'm reading it right. So much for "squad" rankings lolz.

I always felt that less than 2 members should be omitted because it's much easier to have a high squad rank as an individual. Heck, even last month. My squad (cough The original damned, cough cough) had #1 fighter rank due to me, as others in the squad no longer play really. So since my other squad members didn't muddy the overall squad ranks, I was able to get our squad #1 squad fighter rank  :D. I wouldnt put too much weight behind squad ranks. Though, those squads that have a lot of people and get highly ranked should be noted. With a smaller player base, it doesn't really matter all that much though.

I was thinking of re-kick starting my old AW/AH squad Flying Tigers (134th). Didn’t think I could get many to join. We used to have 30 members. But today, who knows. We’d do some original FT type runs with P-40s as well as normal runs. We were very precise, and did very deep strikes. Now days, not sure I can even get a 2nd person (xo) to even get it off the ground. I’m not very optimistic, sometimes things happen. Its just s very nostalgic idea for me.

This was always the case. Been in a 1-man-squad almost all of my AH life.  :old:

Having been in a few big squads in the old days I am now enjoying the single squad life in my old age!
Back in 2022 after a loooooong break from 2010. Old name Ratpack, same for the BBS.

Squad I did the most tours with were the Excaliburs then The 172nd Rabid Dogs. Still trying to talk Illigaf, Coola, Oldman22, and Joecrow into coming back instead of being boring old farts!

If you make a single person squad, you do not get nagged by others to join their squad, which is slight annoying whilst in the middle of a fight.


Whether you think you can or cannot, you are right!

If everybody makes a 1 person squad we probably won't see any squads with multiple members in the "squad" roster.
