I can only count on six calls from my squaddies.

I try to be careful when I give out a "Check 6" call.  I've had a few kill-opportunities spoiled because someone gives me a Check 6 on a bandit that is on my 12 and I'm in a firing position on and so I maneuver around to look behind me to see no one and lose my shot.  Or I'm maneuvering and I'm trying to cycle through all the aircraft in the sky to give a Check 6 call to only get the wrong person, upsetting his kill shot and making him mad.  I guess you have to take it with a grain of salt when you get a Check 6 call.  I do try to use the Range Voice though when I can.

Apache,

This is probably because the Knights have certain presonality traits and social demographics that are different than everyone else.  I'm sure there's a scientific study about this somewhere.

Muhahaha :D

I think there must be a "check six etiquette";)
I mean, no doubt that if I gave a check 6 is my intention to help a mate, but throwing check six, as soon as I see an enemy plane in  range is worse than not givin it , maybe.
In furball situation is very hard give correct C6 , and who receives it may loose precious time, if they are not correctly related to his situation.
Maybe the use of AH voice can help to be more precise?

6 calls are a luxury. If I get shot down it's ultimately my own fault. If someone calls my 6 I don't mind, but I haven't come to expect 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.


It's not wise to depend on others for your SA.

You are just bait, If I bother to give you a check 6, you're just going to drag my target into wild evasives. Can't have that.

I'm a six call giver, and make it a point to thank six calls too...

Unless I'm a ball of flame :eek:

Noticed not to many "ty"  for six calls around here. No matter.

I tend to listen to six calls simply because I made my own wav. for six calls...

Cranked to 100 in the sound settings...

YOUR ABOUT TO DIE YOU F**KING IDIOT !!!

Get's the point across ;)

If I'm that slow in my pony that I need a 6 call I deserve to get shot down :) I'll give a six call if I can get  a freindly in a view I can use with the button on my stick but otherwise your on your own.

I think most folks try to give a check 6 to fellow simmers, even those that look upon fellow knights as enemy dragging devices.

I know I have had my bacon saved (at least for a little while) by guys giving me the six call both in the MA and in the CT.  It isn't perfect, when you are in the head of battle I sometimes forget to hit the check six button but I do try and I know others do to.

Don't take it too personal, we all are having our problems.

I tried to give a check six call to some guy with a curse word in his handle the other night, and the system warned me against using foul language.  He was probably wondering why nobody was giving him six calls.

You must mean F**kman. I shot him down the other day and considered sending him a . But, then I thought better of it for the reason you describe. Other examples of useless handles are the guys who choose numerical names, such as 775231. How do you give him a verbal warning? I don't know about you, but I find it hard enough to remember PIN numbers....
