Yea, but they do try... and for that I've got more respect for them than I have for about 95% of the MA.
Eventually they'll get good at it just from experience.. which is again more than one can say for about 95% of the MA.

Well said.

The reason SEs get shot down is because they will recruit anybody regardless of skill level. Not saying this is a bad thing at all, just the reason why they get shot down.

when was this?
-
Chain, I don't suppose ya thought to film this feat, did ya? That would be a sweet one to watch. I do that sort of flying all the time......in my dreams.
-
hm, ok guys well said.
i apologise to the SEs, you can tell they really try to do something and if they set their sights on a base they will usually take it.
i was just joking, althou it might be in poor taste
-
That is true that we recruit anyone over 18 yers old with a mic. I don't care if you are brand spankin' new to the game. we try to help out the new guys.
Flyboy,
Whatever. Nice to see that you made an effort to apologize. I'm the only one from the whole squad who posts here and we have 40 or more members in our squad. I'll accept your apology this time. Remember we have brand new noobs in the squad. We aren't all as GREAT as you all honorable bad bellybutton killer super ace Flyboy.

Fighters, gotta luv'um.
Gettin harder to find :aok

I remember in AW when that squad was the BOP's. When the BOP's formed up they had the sorriest bunch of clowns you ever saw.Not a one of them could get the gear up without a manual,and look at them now.Over 30% can get their gear up by rote. Im kidding of course about the 30%.BOPS were snack food when they started but there quite the crew now.

Aint nothin wrong with that.(Not saying your saying there is)
Games s'possed to be about Fun.
And sometimes your better off having some folks that dont know alot and bringing them along then having a squad full of experianced Vets.
Less Egos to deal with
Recently started a new Squad myself and I will be doing the same thing.
Would like to get a mix of Vets and new guys together.
Vet will obviously be placed in leadership positions and will each be responcable for bringing the new guys along.
Figger we'll suck at first too.
But if things go the way I see they can.
It will only be a matter of time before we become a formidible opponent and start seeing the ultimate compliment.
Complaints about us here on the boards :D
BTW Anyone interested.
Drop me a line (Shameless plug)

Yanno I was thinking.
If you remember they came around Jussst a little before EA officially took over.
Was thinking perhaps they were a group of EA Cronies checking out the game before all the lines were signed on the dirty deed.
They also didnt seem to stick around long afterwards either.
They were so terrible though you couldnt dislike them.LOL
-

I agree with Urchin. The SEs will dive right into a chitstorm without regard to the odds. No, they don't offer much challenge dogfighting, but they do fight and seldom run. They clearly believe that getting shot down is secondary to the mission. They will get better as time goes by.
On the other hand, I have my nephew for contrast. He's living with us while he attends the nearby State University (saves his parents a ton of money). He became interested in Aces High watching me play. So, I let him use my account, which is usually in the afternoon when he is done with classes for the day. As of Friday, he'd logged 9 hours, gained 6 kills and one loss. Not much to show for 30 something sorties. I watched him play the other day. He flies high and fast. He rarely gets into real fights, but rather prefers to blow through furballs spraying and praying. If anything gets remotely close, he hauls tail.
When I asked him why he avoids fights, he said that he "didn't want to screw up my score." Well, I informed him that by not engaging he is already screwing up my score (K/T of 0.7 and K/S of under 3.0), which he has managed to do for the past 3 months. It's really not an issue, I could care less about scoring. The goal is to have fun. I told him to just get into the fight, do his best and not worry about getting shot down. So yesterday, on my suggestion, he took up a Niki, drove right into a Knit mission, shot down 5 and belly landed in a completely trashed fighter. He was thrilled, for the first time he was having real fun. That he survived was a miracle. I'll see how he does later today when he gets home from his part-time job. However, now that he's seen that furballs can be fun, I expect he'll try it again. I know what that means.... Now he'll pork my K/D too! LOLOL
My regards,
Widewing

Thanks for the Sunday morning smile Widewing. I hope he didn't damage anything with his hair on fire.
At this point in time you might wanna open an account or him. Because it just became an addiction.
Great story.
