Glad you re-upped too WW.

"comme les chiens"

I had to take a few years of basic french, and the most I can make of this is:

"what the dogs"  

Slept thru all of it, as you can tell.

Oops, nevermind. Upon a closer look, Funked is from Illinois, not Indiana.

Slept through reading comprehension too.

My ... modem ... is ... so ... slow ... I ... almost ... can't ... stand ... to ... wait ... for ... the ... next....  Ah nevermind!  

I know that I for one had a blast flying with someone in the MA last night.  It was his very first night in there, and he did very well.  I attribute that to the skills of our trainers.

126 and counting.

Well, not to take anything away from the trainers, but lets face it, MA can be much easier then the TA at times. The enemy is never your colour. You always know who's attacking and whose not. AND, youre generally not flying alone.

I've only been in there about 3 or 4 times and have gotten about 6 or 7 kills so far.

rgr that WW.

The TA is a good place to learn, practise, and have fun. The whole point of it though is about bringing that knowledge to the MA, where, unless we get an HA, the *real* battles are fought.

Hmm...

Would it be cruel to post something for no other reason than to have someone load this huge thread up, only to find out that there wasn't really anything important added?

Holy crap... go out of town training for a week and KERBLAM!

Nice to see this thread seems to have calmed down near the end...

I couldn't read this entire WALL O TEXT, but I skimmed most of it.  As lead trainer, I will say this:

1.  In the future the training staff will have the power to control the TA to a greater degree, including things like killshooter and ejecting folks.

2.  The map editor that will be released will give us the opportunity to make a specialized training arena more suited to our needs.

3.  Although H2H can be used for 1v1 training, we trainers like to keep one or two of us in the arena, so leaving for a H2H session isn't the best option for us.

The trainers are a great crew, and we all mean well.  There will be mis-understandings, but I ask that everybody try to be patient and be tolerant of others.  We trainers are doing our best with the tools we have to work with.    More tools are on the way that will help us make the training arena an even better place to learn.

"MY P-47 is a pretty good ship
And she took a round coming 'cross the Channel last trip
I was thinking 'bout my baby and lettin' her rip
Always got me through so far
Well they can ship me all over this great big world
But I'll never find nothing like my North End girl
I'm taking her home with me one day, sir
Soon as we win this war"
