ALL Right!! Good to cya here Gigg. I am a WarBirds runaway! Ex Swamp Fox and Ex-31st FG...One of daddy='s guys.
After 6 years there I got sick of the promises and the never ending warp feasts. I got tired of flying in Jello. I was tired of switching out of the Pony to Fly the other side for balance.
To start, nothing is perfect but I think AH is a heck of a lot closer than what we came from. AH-II will take this up several notches. You might hear some disparaging words here on occasion but not like AGW in WB's. I have been here for 4 months. As Bizket said, he started the 339th Fighter Group, a pony squad, and I signed on as XO. I can tell you this. I am not sorry I left WBs. Here's what I have found:
1. In game Vox, works GREAT. You have the room/squad channel and the Range channel. Range channel means if you can see 'em you can talk to them as in coordinate flight ops and call "6"'s. Occasionally the Range channel steps on the squad/room channel. No biggie.
2. Channel 1, Usually full of BS and can be squelched by typing .squelch 1 {Enter}. I do it as soon as I log in. Set one channel for country (green) and one for Room (purple). If you join a squad, set another for squad (red).
3. Joystick: I spent along time working on my scaling settings. Coming from Jello-Land things here seemed like flying in Helium or weightless. Work on your stick and give it a bit and you will be fine! As I remember, you are an Excellent "stick"
4. STRAT: Yup there is some here. Sure there are plenty of Furballers here to. HOers abound as in WBs. The GV's play an important part here and many times in order to field capture you must neutrilize the VH's Vehicle Hangers at other VH bases that can spawn to a field. Troops and ordanance, as well as Radar can be disabled. Fields can be resupplied by C47's and GVs. In flight radar is a bit much but.....
5. JABO and Buffing are a bit different but you'll adapt.
Ok enough for now. Many of us will and can help. Just ask! There's a guy runnin around here by the handle "daddog". He's a great guy and one of the true Guru's. You can ask him anything and get the right answer. There are others.
Gigg, you are welcome to fly with the 339th anytime anywhere. We fly Rook! We are new and we are small. We do have fun! Contact us here:
