Title: Wingman Clinic (Dec 12th, 10-11:30 pm EST)
Post by: Rolex on December 07, 2007, 04:49:19 AM

Come join us next Wednesday evening (Dec 12th) from 10 pm to 11:30 pm EST in the Training Arena. This clinic is suitable for any level of player with a working controller and rudimentary knowledge of the game.

We will discuss and practice basic WWII wingman tactics. Pilots will learn what formations work best and how to attack and defend in a two-ship element. Four or more trainers will be participating in this clinic.

This will be a live-fire event.. You will be shooting and be shot at.

Meet at Bish field A100.

I'm always willing to set up clinics for folks on European time - if they will commit to being there, since I have to get up very early to do it. :)

I'd love to Rolex.....but generally work precludes (hence being glad I'm not working that day - 12 hour shifts put a dent into my social activities.......lol)

That said, I may well take you up on that kind offer at some stage.....if I say i'm going to be somewhere at a time, I am.....I'm a bit old fashioned that way....

Thanks again fella,

Wurzel

A big THANKS from me to Rolex and the training corps.  I  have read a few write ups on wingman tactics and formations and have tried to get my squad to fly better tactics. Your clinic helped me to get a better idea of how the loose duece works and how important communication is.  Please continue the seminars

P.S. IMO you could go over the same stuff a few times. As I said I've done some reading  and  I was still workin hard to keep up with all the info.
