Tonight I was playing, low numbers, saw a newer guy ask for a gunner as he was getting close to an enemy strat. I won't mention his ID -- just call him "LJ". Turns out he's a 12 year old from Australia. I joined his bombers and we had a nice chat home.
He says "please" and "thank you". He's courteous and thinks strategically. I was exceedingly impressed. He was everything I wished younger folks would be like in person and in-game. My hat's off to his parents and wish there were 500 more like him in-game. It's a character and strengths that I wish far older players took to the game.
Sometimes we over look the good in this game and tend to dwell on the negatives, but this is a fantastic positive.
I hope the rest of us live up to that example. WTG LJ.

There have been a few stinkers fly AHXARL in my years there. Several have turned out to be absolutely wonderful people. Just took a bit of time and energy to refocus their thoughts. One is now serving in the USMC. There are great young people out there. It is just a bit difficult to find them amongst the others. Like finding a jewel in a pile of gravel when you do, though.

Funny how we are the most criticized generation, but they forget who was the generation that created us.
We are not all that bad :)

I hate to tell ya bud, but you aren't in the 12 year old's generation. You're at the bottom of the 35 year old's generation. Grizz's Generation...Sunfans' generation...Krupnski's generation....Kappa's generation and yes, Kruel's generation.
And truthfully, my generation is pretty proud of yours. I'm quite certain we said the same generational boooolsheeet to our fathers generation too. lol
And I pwn you.

Not 12 years old, but i was 14 when i started :). Caught a lot of flak too, but it is what makes you a stronger person.

Heck I was eight when I started. I didn't catch that much flak though because I kept my mouth shut and did as I was told by the people I flew with.

That's it right there. I used to get so much flak years ago. Experienced things that has made so many quit this game when it happened to them.
It made me the player I am today

Every generation in history has criticized the generation they created, and the world keeps spinning. :)

That is truly good to hear.

The feeling is mutual, Brother!
On another note. My 13 year old is now online. He is respectful and also tactically sound. He has been watching me play since he was barely out of diapers.
He goes by Jester13. Has a huge learning curve ahead of him but he seems to enjoy it so far. Took him into LW last night and tried to take A127 in an M3. So much activity he got to town twice but just couldn't pull it off.
I love that he and I debrief on actions in the game. He soaks it up.
Tonight, I teach him bombing...
