Did you just get shot down with 20 other Knights team members all around you and not one “check Six” call for the third time? Did you just fly troops to an airfield that has been under attack for three hours by 25 to 35 Knight Member only to find the town is totally untouched? Are you tired of the endless fur balls? Are you tired of not being covered by your wingman? Would you like to play on a Knight Squad that enjoys capturing and holding territory? That actually tries to win the war?
If you are looking for more organized game play? If you would enjoy flying missions with specific targets and goals and yes even perhaps returning from a mission alive. Then take a look at the 113th Lucky Strikes, because we are looking for you. The 113th takes a more organized approach to the game. Following a lose military chain of command. The 113th’s approach to game play is geared more towards team work and mission success rather then individual point score or fur balling. As a result the 113th is not for everyone.
Types of mission: Fighter Sweeps, Bombers missions, Bomber escorts and Fighter attack missions and GV missions using as detailed a mission profile that the game allows. Mission briefings generally include flight element assignments and Routes, Alt’s, Targets, IP’s egress and rendezvous waypoints, plus all comm channels used.
Types of aircraft used: appropriate for the mission flown. The 113th uses the P38L as its primary aircraft, however, sometimes different missions call for a mix of different aircraft.
Check us out in the LWA on Vox 113 or contact Gunston CO or Traveler XO. If you are interested in maximizing your game play enjoyment.

onward toolshed warriors marching off to war.........:aok
Have fun, you payed your nickel and you have every right to have it your way. However there are alot of knights just like me that chk 6 and clear 6's regardless of "squad affiliation".....but then I cant recall the last time I had 20 other knights around either.....hell I'm lucky to have 2 or 3. Personally I think you ought to be a rook squad....they have a well established toolshed/horde community....unless of course you prefer to fly at 25k or above in which case you'd be better of as a bishop squad:)
-
:lol
sorry traveller, carry on...
don't mind us folks, just some crazy furballer types that like to waste war resources

The entire purpose of the original thread was for “ Recruiting “ . I understand that you don’t enjoy the type of play that we do in the 113th, but why would you want to have us change sides just because you don’t like the way we play? I have to wonder why you are even looking in the Recruiting posts in the first place. We are just looking for others that want to fly as we do. Why you feel it is even necessary for you to even comment is really beyond me.

Well said Traveler!! ......some people are so clueless! ....best of luck with your squad!
-
it's true, we are clueless :cry

113th and good luck with your recruiting.
It is lame that 2 members of another squad came here to dump on your squad and your recruiting efforts.
The RAF71st used to be a respected squad.
-
Heya Traveller.
I'm actually looking for a squad like this one. I'd like to come over to the knioghts for a bit and see what you guys are all about. I'll look gor you on channel 113.

i remember when people didn't take the game as seriously, we're only messing about :) i guess humor isn't for everyone...
if we're actually pushing it, we'll stop, sorry :( good luck traveller :)

Actually I wasnt baiting or being demeaning in anyway at all. My comments were a straight forward response to your post.....
1st your maligning the country you "fly for"...
did you just get shot down with 20 other Knights team members all around you and not one “check Six” call for the third time
As I stated most knights readily chk 6 and clear bogies. I find your observation to be inaccurate and unfair.
Did you just fly troops to an airfield that has been under attack for three hours by 25 to 35 Knight Member only to find the town is totally untouched
The knights do have a high number of seasoned flyers and were probably enjoying the furball. Often we find the unwanted intervention of toolshedders an annoying problem....so I suggested you switch to the Rooks....land of the toolshed horde.
If you would enjoy flying missions with specific targets and goals and yes even perhaps returning from a mission alive
Funny how many squads you see land a group of 15, 20, 30 or more kills....or roll a base in 20 min when the mood strikes. But you of course can do it better....
Read your original post, you spend more time talking negatively about "your" countrymen then you do about who you are and what you want to accomplish. Basically you lost me at hello:).....
As for the 71st, anyone who flies with us or around us knows we dont leave our own (or another knight) hanging out to dry. We cap/jabo/bomb/goon and defend as well or better then any squad in the game. We also treat our fellow knights and opponents with respect. Very rarely if ever do we talk trash act rudely or fail to give a heartly salute both as the victor or vanquished in a well fought fight.
Your opening statement basically is nothing other then trash talk and I responded accordingly. Show me you deserve respect and I'll gladly give it....
-
good response snap, think you got it all...
as for 71 'once being respectable', i think the squad is even more respectable now than it was a year ago. the squad's most imortant value is fun and humor though, something it seems a lot of you guys seem not to experience in this great game and community.
to each his own, but just know we weren't bashing you, i was just having a bit of fun, sorry if you took anything bad out of it, and snap was replying honestly to the original post which was really just a bit of a whine about the knights.
traveller, if you don't get check sixes, or the guys you're flying with can't get things done, you're probably flying with a noob horde with no clue. i'm sure you'd be more than welcome to come and fly with 71 for a few sorties if you liked, do a few attack missions together :)

Humble & Biggles, the point is that this wasn't the place to go with those grievances. It's another squads recruitment thread. It was just plain rude to come in here and start complainging about those things. You can "kid" with your freinds. You don't "kid" with strangers who don't know you, and don't know you're playing around.
Humble's response was NOT a good one. As was said this is his recruitment thread. It's not a thread about toolsheddiers. If you wanted to defende the squadrons honor he should have came in and said my bad for jumping down the guys throat and left it alone.
Although the OP was exagerating on his initial post, his points are still valid. Everyone has been shot down while friendlies are around unexpectedly without getting a check 6. If you're a new guy without a squadron it happens to you ALOT since you're often flying in the face of too many enemy planes before your SA skills are up to the task. There's nothing wrong with being a noob. You have to start somewhere.

Like I said, the 113th Lucky Strikes is looking for like minded players. Enjoy the game no matter what side you chose to fly for. We in the 113th Lucky Strikes prefer to play the game the way it was intended.
from the Aces II High Help web page for game play:
"Gameplay
Capturing territory through the use of air, land and sea power is the objective of Aces High. The arena terrain is divided into three countries, with each country starting with an equal number of fields, towns, cities, task groups, and a single headquarters for each country. All countries have an equal amount of territory at the beginning of a war.
The map is broken up into zones, with each zone having an master field. The master field controls the ownership of the factories which supply all other fields in the zone."
I know that must just kill every furballer who claims that the object of the game is for furballing, but it's not.

Check us out Saturday night vox 113, most guys show up between 7and 8PM EST and we are Knights. You can locate either myself or our CO Gunston using the .f command as .f Traveler to see what arena we are in, it is generally one of the late war arenas.

I'll see what I can do about finding you guys. I don't fly sat nights so will try to catch up with you all some other day.

Was just fine...

the above snippet is the heart of my response....and I wasnt really kidding....just commenting. At no point did I or have I ever slammed a "baby seal" {Noob}. I spent alot of time as a trainer both here in AH and with various squads. I also get "schooled" myself more than I like to admit...
If you want to recruit for your squad go for it.....but talk to your plans and strengths (take a lesson from saxman). Dont throw garbage at others....

I'm not a furballer, in fact I fly more attack missions then fighter missions. This is simply another instance of your stereotyping folks. I'll give you two examples of "proper" gameplay....
If I have ords inbound to a VB I'll ask those on my side if they are capturing or have a good raging tank battle going. If they are just Tanking I'll either go tiger hunting or take out the troops and then cap the fight in my hog....
If I'm inbound to a airfield I'll take out the VH (unless again its just a tank battle) or town but dont ever take out a FH unless its a true capture mission.
On the other hand I also fly goons drive m-3s and fly support for capture missions.....
All the things you say "we" dont do....
BTW I noticed I have more captures this tour then you and your CO combined...also higher hit %'s in both the attack and bombing roles...if you look at damage points you'll see I have alot....so I'm carrying my ords to target. I also average 3+ k/d but land roughly 12.5% of them....
So basically I take my ords to target....more often then not hit what I'm aiming at and then hang around and fight until either I go bingo ammo or go down....
In fact if we're up as a squad, you'll normally find "us" {71st} doing the dirty work supporting exactly what you talk about. In fact if you go to either our web site or the BBS training forum you'll find a film (and brief write up) of a 109F hop that shows us flying support for another squads capture mission (which we do often)......hell I'm sure we'd even fly support for yours...
-
Traveler, ask HTC to lock or delete this thread and start another RECRUITMENT thread.
Although I doubt "humble" will be able to resist pissing all over that one too.

Wow reading back through that my typing was horrible. Look at all those typos! :)
Humble why are you still posting, this isn't about you.

Humble, I posted an ad, a recruiting effort, not sure why you feel the need to personalize it, however, you repeatedly do. I never said you were a furballer, I never said that you were a toolsheder. I"ve reread the ad several time and I fail to see where I mention you or your squad or any squad for that matter except the 113th. What I do mention are things that have happen to everyone at some point in time in this game, it's an Ad....
But why the personal attack? I don't know you and I don't feel the need to follow your stats, or justify my squads game play, you however do. I have never asked you to change your game play or change your countries, you however, have.
Most of our member, squad mates only fly once a week. so I have no idea what the percentages say about us and I don't care. But when we do fly, it's as a unit, flying missions formations, wingmen covering wingmen. a Lead shooter and a wingmen to keep his six cleared.
Like they used to tell you in high school sports, no I in TEAM, reread your posts , drop any sentence that contains the word "I" and a good test of whether you have personalized a correspondence is to go back and count how many times you used the word “you”.
You have been very rude and it’s totally uncalled for.
-
was or is intended. you have my sincere apologies for any comments you felt were intended as such.
Your "ad" opened with a broadbrushed set of comments I felt and still feel are totally out of place. You comment specifically on alot of aspects of gameplay in a pompous manner. I simply voiced my 2 cents....
Your comments thruout the thread simply re-enforce my original perception of you....
Best wishes
-
Good luck Traveler! I certainly like your squads ride, (P38L). :)
I think I took your post as you intended. ;)
-
Been following you guys thia week Traveler and unfrotunatley we're not going to match up. You guys simply don't have enough active pilots.
I fly just about every day, and am looking for a squad where I can usually find a wingman whenever I log in. If you guys only fly once a week, and on an evening I can't fly then no matter how much I like the theme it's not going to work out.
Good luck with your recruitment drive.

Many fly during the week and at other times. We only have one offical Squad night, which is saturday evening EST . But we are usually on Vox 113 when we are on, so if you find us, please feel free to join up, no matter what your ride is or day of the week.

Hi Traveler:
My squad has just come over to AH from WWIIOL. Like your recruiting post, we are more into flying realistic mission profiles than winning the map at all cost. We are total noobs in AH and would like to hook up with another squad who knows the ropes and likes a more organized style of gameplay. We are typically online is between 7:00pm and 9:00pm Eastern.
If you'd be intersted please let me know.

S! 113th
The 113th has been around AH almost as long as I have, good bunch of guys.
