I'm curious what the opinion is of everyone on etiquette when it comes to naming a squadron. I have not been flying AH long, but feel fortunate to have hooked up with a good squad that has been around for a few years, Twinbooms 39th FS "Cobra in the Clouds". Last night in Titanic Tuesday I noticed there is a new squad named 39th FS Pursuit Squadron. Is this bad form? Considering the 39th is based on an actual squadron that flew in WWII should there be more than 2? Again, just looking for opinions.
-
I think it's just wrong to have two squads the same unless it is a branch of the original squad. Besides, the person that started the squad was pointed out the fact that there was already a 39th FS....needless to say he didn't change.
-
You get a lot of no0bs that start playing and get all exited about starting their own squad.I like that my squad has been around from the days of AW,When i started the last thing i wanted was my own squad that has no history.I think it would be nice for people to have to have so much time in AH before allowed to start their own squads.But i see new squads come and go,so no worries they probably wont be around long
-
The thing about it is I don't think they are all a bunch of newbs. Some of them have pretty good rankings.

I recognize the squads name. Think they've been around for at least a few months.
-
If I were you, I would be thankful that they at least named their squadron with history in mind. My beef is with the squadrons with more profane inspired names. One comes to mind, but I won't name it here.
-
I think it's bad to name a squad close to another.
I also think it's bad to name a squad a non-historical name.
But we have many gamebox types on AH these days.

But aren't there plenty of historical squads not represented in Aces High? I don't think it is a good idea to all but copy another squads name. First of all, it will confuse the hell out of the UPS guy, the catering will get screwed up, and I've already received more blow up sheep in the mail than I care to count.

Hmm... maybe Im thinking of another "Pursuit Squadron" type outfit, then.

A good deal of research is always a good thing to consider before you make a historical squad. As well as a little research into what squads are on the roster,
-
Not a blessed thing you can do if someone chooses to emulate the same historical squadron you are.
Class will tell in the long run, people will figure out which is which.
Unless the CO of the new squad really knows what he's doing chances are it will implode inside of a year.

to me, it seems in poor form. very poor. it also sounds like someone's tryin to piss off TB, and his squad......or they think they're pissing ON them.....either way, there's probably nothing anyone can do, with the exception of ostricizing the offending squadron.
it's a cryng shame that grown men and women stoop to these levels in here. this is such a good sim......

correct.
I guess if you burn enough bridges and PO enough people a name change is in order.

Yea, thats our new squadron. We didn't know there was another 39th FS squadron. :salute We proceeded to change our name quickly. Sorry for the mix up. Odbal, you're taking this very seriously, you should have PM'd me, TwinTail (Pips), or 321Bar about this instead of bringing it here. I did not mean to make a 2nd fighter squadron as I did not know.
We're now the 40th FS 'Fightin' Red Devils' (God, I hope there isnt another one of those...)

Cool, thanks Angels. I didn't think it was done out of spite which is why I was asking opinion's instead of flaming and attempting to start a flame war. Good luck to you. :salute

3 months is 1.71 dog years :P
-
Our squadron isn't here to start anything with any other players or squads. We're just here to have fun like anyone else. I learned of the problem today (must have been afk last night because I didn't know then)
Please odball, pass my apology to TwinBoom or PM me his Email address so I can do it myself.
Oh and Wingnutt, mind your own damn buisness, this wasn't even a real problem with another squad.
-
Angels, I will make sure he know's it was a simple mistake, no harm no foul. Thanks again.

Luftmorder's original squad name was Blut Und Ehre (meaning Blood And Honor). It was the inscription on the Nazi Youth dagger. It pissed off one person and we were forced to change it.
Sometimes whining pays off...

Someone named his squad the SS. Im not sure how long that lasted. Surely enough it pissed me off.
Just like the one above would have as well.

I think one person suggested that COULD have been a motivating factor, along with a couple other ideas on why and how, no further comments were made on that subject. Lets lock this baby up before it turns into something I should not be :salute

You did the right thing. By doing so you showed your true intention was not to impinge on another squads name. Good Job <S>

I wrote that to suggest that if someone finds a squad name offensive, whine about it and poof, it could be gone.
Hey, btw, I'm no Neo-Nazi and none of us were. WWII was over when I was born. Blood and Honor had a whole different meaning to us than for those who suffered under Hitler's rule. We flew mostly German planes when the squad started and just thought it would be a cool name. Wasn't meant to offend anyone and we're sorry if it did. Heck, most of us couldn't even pronounce it right anyway.
-
just thought it would be a cool name.
Therein Lied the problem. I was very pissed when I saw it. If any of you had bothered to listen in HISTORY class you would realise how that could offend someone from Germany, England or Israel or anywhere else for that matter. The political meaning of that slogan and all the other propaganda that went along with it helped convince millions of people Hitler was a nice guy doing the right thing. Enabling him to murder millions of people.
Now because quite a few people use historical squad names using the one you chose basically said "we want to be Nazis" we agree with what they did "they are cool" to everyone else in the community. If you still can't comprehend that you need help.
If you had spelt it blood and honour in English it probably would have been ok but you didnt.

i would have told them to get over it. besides the name you had sounds great :salute

It wasn't covered in any History class I took, but of course they don't teach real history anymore. (just a dumbed-down version that is politically correct instead of being accurate)
