I mentioned in an earlier post that the Training Arena is often the first place new pilots go and it is there that they receive their first impressions of Aces High. I am in the training arena almost every evening and have seen (and helped) the progress of many new pilots. That help comes in different ways and different forms. For the very new, it consists of answering questions about how to select planes and take off, do a chk 6 etc., for others the training involves help in getting the best possible turning performance out of the aircraft. the latter training involves co-alt, lvl, duels.
This dueling when done properly can really help a pilot that sincerely wants to get better as well as help them to become familiar with the strengths and weaknesses of each aircraft.
I guess what I am trying to say is that "traning" comes in more ways than just one on one with a "trainer".
Recently, however, with the new influx of pilots, I have seen a new group of what, for lack of a better word, I will call "Kids" come into the TA.
The real problems occur when these kids sit in field gunners or PT's and shoot down everyone who is taking off. People are constantly asking me "is it always like that in here?" and "why do they do that?". There usually follows a buffer full of name calling and cursing and the always popular "I filmed that!" and "your going to lose your account!"
If HT is really receiving all the films that I have heard people promise to send in, we would need an additional T1 just for that.
In conclusion, I would like to respectfully suggest that HitechCreations, increase the number of trainers, adding to the great guys they already have, and give those trainers the ability to use the .eject command.
I am fully aware that with that power comes the opportunity for abuse, so all new trainers should have a sense of maturity and patience.
Should additional trainers be needed I would be happy to apply myself.
