Do the Knights know what check 6 means?
« on: May 20, 2002, 06:47:17 AM »
The BK's just moved to the knights after a lengthy stay with the rooks. Gave several 6 calls to fellow knights and they just kept right on going and, needless to say, got whacked.

It was very prevalent. We were talking about it on vox and all BK's noticed it.

If you don't want check 6 calls, just let us know. We won't waste our time.

BTW, the knights should change country name to DmdMaw. Man, they are everywhere, lol.

Thats one thing I noticed Apache. Knitwits dont seem to pay attention nor give check 6's and it gets frustrating sometimes.

Don't know where you were flying last nite, Apache, but I was in the A3, A4 area and gave check 6 calls till my fingers bled, rec'd several myself. Can't speak for the rest of the Knights, but if you are flying in an area that I and the 479th are in, you will receive check 6 calls, and we will appreciate any that we get.   and welcome to Knightland!

Its not a Knit exclusive thing.  I saw the exact same thing from the Bish yesterday.  Give a 6 call... 1 out of 10 takes evasives.  Got a 6 call for about 1 out of 10 times someone tried to bounce me.

The truly pathetic part is trying to figure out which one of the six low bish engaging one Zeke to give a six call to when a P-51 is zooming in.

Trust me... it happens on every side.

He was a knit after all. Getting over 100 check 6s fer kill stealing may make alot of folks delete the check 6 wav :)

BKs are knights now?  cool deal.  :)

yeah, most people I give chk 6's to just keep doing what they're doing.  I think they think I mean that I'm going to have their 6 cleared in a matter of seconds...  *shrug*

Apache,

I usually don't give check 6 call, most of time seems is spent toggling to get right plane. I do however almost always use the Range Voice & give a call to the pilot giving him warning and the type of plane coming in.

By the way, it was fun having you fly in the same area yesterday. While not directly winging with you, it was fun to have someone who was willing to work together while fighting the same enemy plane.

When you log in for the first time does AH put you randomly into
a country or into Knight.. Thats where it put me when I started
and I would do the same thing until I got shot down several times  and finally said DUH thats whats that's for.......

Its practically impossible to give check 6 calls in a furball without using vox (which i don't due to bugs and poor quality)

Tis a shame we have to come up with different methods because some other game did it using a method that makes more sense...(mouseclick)  Perhaps there are other issues with coding, (tho i doubt that)
