Well as you might of Guessed I am part of the Freebirds, What I want to know is your guys opinions on us... Yeah thats actually about it. I know alot of you hate us, but I want to know what you think, there has to be atleast one other out there that likes us.
-
I don't mind you guys. Have had some fun fights against you group.
-
I personally can't hate someone I don't know personally and even then its really hard. As for the squadron of Freebirds...If I didn't like flying around you guys I certainly wouldn't encourage my squadron buddies to hook up with a Freebirds mission to take a few bases. From what I know you have a good squadron there; just because some people don't like you guys means absolutely nothing.
-
you dont even wanna get me started
-
Free Birds , your alright bunch of guys , we have fought agianst you every week in the mian arena, Im with the 31st Bomber Barons.( Bishop) Theres not a week goes by, that were not shooting or being shot down by a Free Bird pilot. I wish we could create a Truse, and work together long enough to beet the stinkin Rooks down , so we could take turns wining, sounds like a plan to me!

Freebird$ <
>I don't know the new guys But 2256(raptor),Dred,tod ,zrat I flew with them. All good guys
Gotta watch Raptor close..He can steal a kill in a wink of an eye:p:D
-
All I have to say is when the 68th and the Freebirds get together all we do is take bases . You guys are 1 of the top squads on the knights side. as long as we keep working together all we can do is get better. 1 more thing do not listen to snot nose punks that have not even had there wet dream yet like Sniper.He is just a young kid that has nothing better to than post negative comments on the aces high BB. In my book you guys are:aok
FreeBirds
-
Where in the heck did you get the idea that the Freebirds where or are hated, other then by rooks or bishops
-
humm a wet dream ehh 68ko had one of those like 15 years ago
-
I doubt you can even remember being a 1 yr old ... much less your dreams from then. ;)
Heh. :D

Freebirds huh? Man, there's a Lynyrd Skynyrd joke in there somewhere....oh yeah
PLAY FREEBIRD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I now return you to your regularly scheduled prettythang-kicking.
;)

lol, I just found this post and not sure why Saber asked this question but am very happy at the response we have gotten. Let me chime in here if I may hehe.
We are FAR FAR FAR from being hated or disliked by our teammates the Knights.
I believe we are a well respected squad on our country and we have many many friends and co-op squads. We love running missions and generaly always get an enourmas response of people joining in. I realy appreciate all of the other knights that support us and hope they all know we will always support those who support us.
Secondly, We are only hated I believe by people on other countries :0) That is OK, it actualy shows a level of respect
(fear hehe) for our squad. Usualy being accused of cheating or being trashed by other countries shows that they know who you are and fear what you represent. The Maws have the same problem lol.
And third, as for sniper 68th let me set the record straight since he has shown the first contempt......He is and X-Freebird who asked to return to the squad a couple of months ago and we told him NO WAY, you are too much of a loudmouth as well as a known double agent with 2 accounts. U still aint getin back in sniper :0P!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Again thanks for the support guys and we shall continue to work with other squads on the Knights side to pummel and destroy the evil bishrook empire! <> Raptor, CO SQUAD WING #2
p.s. <> to many squads on the Bish and Rooks as well. Many of you are formal opponants. Keep re-upping :0)
-
rapter u lost ur mind i never asked to rejoin lol i was told if i wanted to things could be worked out and i said no lol go ahead rapter try and make it look like i wanted too lol
-
See he has nothing better to do than post negative replys on the BB you sure ack like you are 30:rofl He also is not part of the 68th or will he be.
-
If that is the same sniper67 I am thinking of he was in the Mafia 3-4 days before we booted him .....He jumps sides faster than Clinton does interns:lol
-
freebirds are a great bunch of pilots. post of the most fun missions i have ever seen, they come close to shane 2 missions ever 30 mins month in july, which was awesome :D (remebers 202 mission where we all capped field and took it.) had some good times over there will rty to return one day.:D:p
-
MMM Perhaps a response from the other side of the curtain.
I have the greatest respect for the Freebirds! <>
They are a strat oriented bunch who work together well. It is always obvious when they are on and moving. They show good humour, respect for friend and foe, they play the game as if they love it. :aok
I find it particularly interesting when my own squad and FB's crunch into each other. We go toe to toe and have a great time. I remember one particular session on AKDesert when the FB's had decided that we had taken our last base. Their stand was nothing short of terrific. No matter how solid our cap on that base was they kept upping and not just dumbly either. Sometimes they swarmed from all points, then it was b26's etc and heaven help us whenever the VH popped up. Hangars down, they arrived in la7's pony's goons and whatever. We got the field in the end but only when 2 other squads and a lot of countrymen joined in. It was probably 50 against the FB's and they stopped us for over an hour. Knits should have given them medals.
I also like their no-nonsense attitude. If there is a CV vulching their field - they sink it. If someone is mouthing them, they smile and wave. If they need to kill fuel/troops/ord to stop the rot they do it. I don't know, but I bet they are also the ones that run supps when a field is down?
Joker is a great ambassador for the FB's. The others aren't bad either but:
Greed, well how the hell did you get my tiff with M8 main gun? :)

Wow Dantoo thanks bud......What do I owe ya? hehe
<> to u and your squad!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Raptor

Tonight was my first night flying alongside the FreeBirds in a mission. I was very impressed. I just wanted to say that you guys put on one hell of a show, and that I appreciate any "FB" I see around in the MA.

I love yout guys missions but for some reason u guys talk ***** about me and i dont really know who is in Freebirds.
YOUR MISSIONS R STILL KOOL
-
As far as I know I have never heard anyone talk bad about you. We never talk trash to anyone unless they start trashtalking first. Maybe just a misunderstanding. All Freebird members have an FB in front of their name. No exceptions. Thanks for joining our missions. Raptor

I use to be 708656- yeah a number dude- n e ways i was playin in H2H and this Df comes up and says dude they're talkin trash about u in MA...........And thats the story of how i found out.

I flew with you all quite a bit. Great bunch of guys, and incredible pilots. I dont see why anyone would not like ya.

Yeah Yeah But I think they Masterbate too much:D

FreeBirds, at first hearing, brings forward rather different thoughts than a AH squadron.
Say "FreeBirds" to Pyro, HT etc. They won't respond very favorably.
Make a Google search what FreeBirds also is. Or Freehost. You'll maybe find what I'm talking about.

As with us FBs, you're a squad you love to hate. Its always a blast fighting to get a base you want to keep or to try to hold you guys off. Both squads have our occasional trouble maker and/or big mouth, but in the end, nothing but

lota butt smooching around here. nobody seems to want to talk about the REAL issue.
FB's have ugly sheep.
Sorry...didn't want to say it, but t'is true none the less.
During my one and only visit to the FB's barn, i had a hard time telling the difference between the male and female sheep.
Darndest thing hearing a baaaaahh with a lisp. (shudder) I still get nightmares from it.
Upon returning from the FB barn (screaming "the horror, the horror") i had to spend three days straight in the WidowMaker Pleasure Barn (tm) and remind myself just why and whom i fly/fight for.
Jenny was a bit sore, and i wore out my Hoof Holder Boots (tm), but the ewe's were a chorus of contented bleats when i finally departed.

Well said JB. I think we all know that too. Im a freebird and always hate seeing an argument break out between a squady and a foe. Then we "squadies" get put in the middle of the squawl. That said though I havnt seen a bullchit squad in this game. I think we all have respect for others. <> to our love to hate squads:D AKs JBs lol its the. It is fun though when we run into each other. We usally get a big cornated fight. Sucks to be the guys defending though, they never have the alt. then need:D <> guys

Always have a challenge fighting FB's. Like shooting down FB's as with all Nits and Rooks. Never heard anything bad about FB's. But if we were talking about the biggest sh7t talkers in AH lets start with the MAW's. I do dislike them.
all FB's looks and sounds like a great squad.

al; right i take back my previous statmenta=s u guys are good sports and i apoligize i still don like 2 or 3 of ya :) but i do apoligize u ju87 and ju88 dweebs :)

I will say this about you guys... I dont fly for the nights all that often... But when we do go nit, I am very impressed at your effort in posting missions and taking bases...
FBs....
Your ok in my book :aok

Well Saber.. I gotta tell you... there are 2 enemy squads that come to mind right away when the "love to hate" expression is used and that is the Freebirds and the AKs.
As CO of the 81st I have to respect your squad (and the AKs) for the way you play the game and for the way your members act online and off. We know we are in a fight when either squad is in our area of operations.
Freebirds are obviously well organized and well run and it makes winning any battles against you all the sweeter.

I have no problems at all with you guys. Honestly, I'm surprised that you're still around. The first time I had ever heard of your squad was in AW when I smacked 3 of ya at the same time in pac. I think it was $2256 and a couple of other guys. Anyway, my first thought was that you were another dweeb squad who wouldn't last long. Imagine my surprise when I log on to AH and see that you guys are still here and have grown larger! It seems like you guys are a squad who enjoys the game instead of being point potatos and crying when shot down like some other people. Keep up the good work guys.:aok
-
I dont really care enough to hate squads, but I do see alot of chan 1 litterd with **** talking freebirds. Unless these guys with FB before their name is another squad then forgive my remark. It is also usually more than 1 ganging up on some other guy hehe. Guess you call it working together, or squad brotherhood or something. Blah Blah Blah.

Who are the Freebirds?

For what it's worth,
As former CO of the {C-HAWKS} I will say that the aire of the FB took a turn for the worse for awhile in my opinion. Certain (newer) members consistently put a bad taste in my mouth either by actions, attitudes, or words. I say this from a perspective of one who used to lead his squad along side the Freebirds with regularity. All told, I have great respect for the old (core group) of the FB, and will help any of you whenever asked.
Recent changes I've noticed to your roster will have a positive effect on my opinion I think.....if you get my drift :aok
Call on us anytime!
You asked! :D
-
Freebirds.... heheh.
I admire any group that can organize and change the face of the map and the freebirds are a group that regularly pulls that off. I can remember several times when I've wandered alone over to a base to defend only to find myself up to my neck in FB's. What other people think of you can be interesting but it isn't important.
If you guys are havin fun, don't go changing.
The only thing I can think of that might be negative and I think the culprit is FBjoker, is: Sometimes when he kills a guy he'll say something like: "See ya later, you're dead."
Seems like taunting, something I don't ever initiate(I think), when I kill a guy.*
*exception: if my opponent's only move is to bounce me from high and HO, with no other moves, I may say: "HO penalty paid.", once I have sent him to the tower.

LOL Goose. I get your drift. Would you please state that the above mentioned (temporary) problem has been resolved? If not, catch me on the game and let me know whats going on. As you know, the leadership of this squad considers its reputation valuable. Catch u in the virtual skies.
Also, thanks to all for the positive feedback, we do try very hard and have a great time together in AH and at the same time giving respect to all other squads, friend and foe alike. Well at least the ones who aren't buttheads :eek: Raptor CO Squad 2 FB

Hey Raptor!
No recent negatives to report!:aok

Well I guess it's time for my 2 cents worth. The USMC squad and the FB use to fly together pretty regularly but I have to admit we have had a falling out of sorts in the last year or so and I think it comes down to a different style of game play. The FB and the USMC/TFW are both strat squads but we do things differently. For example:
(1) We use to put up missions like the FB's do now, but since our growth, we generally have enough people online to run our missions internally there by significantly decreasing the time it takes to repond to changes on the battle field. So we get a little frustrated when their missions tie up 20 or 30 pilots waiting in the tower for 10,15 or 20 minutes before launch when they have the same number of people. Other complaints I have heard concerning FB missions is that they take pilots away that are needed in other areas to perform missions that one may question their tactical soundness, causing knights to lose more bases than they capture. I have also heard that they want people to join their missions but they won't join anyone elses.
(2) I flew a mission with them the other night and though it went ok, I made the recommendation enroute to drop the FH's (a standard USMC /TFW procedure) instead of proking fuel or ammo and after dropping 3 of the 4 FH's, some one made the comment to leave the last one up so we can vulch which left a bad taste in my mouth becuase it made it seem or confirm the belief that they were more interesed in score whoring than taking the base. The USMC/TFW are not concerned with scores which leads our squad to wonder why it seems to take the FB an incredibly long time in base capture? is it due to lack of planning, coordination or score whoring? From our perspective, it appears to us that the FB's fail in their missions more than they succeed but that may be more subjective than objective.
In sumation, we're annoyed at the fact that their missions take too long to launch, tie up too many pilots for too long of a time unneccisarly, questionable mission targets and either takes them for ever to capture a base if they even capture it at all. Don't get me wrong we don't hate the FB's and Raptor and I are good friends and will never let a stupid game interfere with our friendship. In fact I plan on flying more FB missions to get a hangle on what is fact and what is not
-
And If you have a cap on a field why is it nessesary to kill all FH's?
So when you do get the base LOL it is useless.
OK you can hot pad but what about those that went down during the assualt?
By killing the FH's you are losing some of you forces.
Now If there is heavy resistance and the goon is in jepardy then of coures kill all hangers.
But other wise it just don't make sense.
Case in point tonight the Law took 6 bases with only 4 members
and we did not touch the bases except to supress the fighters trying to up.
So when we got the base It was atleast 100% full ammo and troops.
6 bases people done by only 4 knuckle heads.
It can be done.
As far as the FBs being strat potatos I don't think they are.
Is score important to them ? well Duh!!
It Is nice for them or any other squad to be able to say hey! our squad Is ranked 20th or whatever.
I am just trying to get my small squad into the top 100 LOL.
It aint easy.
-
for 1 the fh's are only down for 15 minutes as apposed to how ever long fuel and ammo are down and from our experience, by the time you get the city down, suppress any fighters that are already up and get the goon in there, the FH's are almost ready to come back up. The purpose of droppng the FH's are to gain quick control over the situation. Thats why my squad can take bases in 15-20 minutes, 30-40 if its heavly defended. We've taken 15 bases in 3 hours using this methodand thats with theknights having inferior numbers. I've seen it time and time again that when people worry more about score whoring then getting the base captured, they usually end up fighting over it for hours and never take it. The FBs may be great at scoring points but it doesn't mean they are great at takeing bases. I have 60 guys who think the world of Dred and Raptor but when it comes to running missions they're knuckleheads
-
Well just happened upon this post and must say I find it funny when envyous people or squads trash other squads without provocation just to try and bring them down to their own level of incompatency.
If you had a clue of what you were talking about, I might respond with an argument
:D
Most people know the truth and what you guys speak aint it.
BTW, after seeing this thread and hearing what your other squad mates say on in game text, I think I have had enough ......please do not refer to me as your friend and do not expect any further civility or support from my squad of knuckleheads:aok
I will inform Grim myself of why my band of knuckleheads will not give any further support to the USMC. :cool:
Have a nice day....<>
P.S.
Current tour
Freebirds Captures = 58
USMC Captures = 12
lol, this doesnt even include the missions we have organized where someone else flew a goon :aok

hell i chime in on this one....
