Vets time to step up to the plate...

Avoid the HO'S then kill um!! we all could use some easy kills!!!!

School IS out for the summer is most places in the U.S.which would explain the new influx of new guys.  I think Silat still has some anti-teen powder and cream if you'd like some.


Besides turning them off the game because they get killed so much, what is wrong with skilless n00bs?

You don't have to be a trainer to help someone in the TA. The MA sucked donkey nuts the other night so I waded into the TA. Roscoroo and I worked with about 4 different guys. Giving advise from what is a good plane to start to learn with ... to playing "drone" for them ... seeing if they can get on my 6 and seeing if they could stay there once they got on it ... to working on reversals and the "merge".

I had a good time and I think that I will be spending more time in there than I have done in the past ... Murdr was running the airspace that night and I think that the "give and take" was fruitfull.

the trainers have a huge job to do ... It doesnt hurt to stop in now and then and Show the newbie's what its like to Cut the angles and have fun .

I get alot of them running the hangers after they have learned to take off ect . or As Slap and I did was Hold a Evil angle fight right there ...  
they defentally got to see a great show .  That alone excited a bunch of them to ask the "How" questions.

Sure it is egoistic of me. I do want less noob level pilots and more avg level and up pilots in the game. I want it because it makes me a better pilot. Im lazy by nature and if someone doesnt push me to make an effort I dont do my best. But I do like to be pushed I like to evolve be it as a climber, golf player, squash player, skier or virtual pilot.

There is another thing I do hate and its whining. I mean come on waste so much energy whining on others. Its annoying makes me in a bad mood when I need to listen to it.

So if people help out other people instead of whine at them they do me two favors in one.

Point taken.

I agree with you and Kamilyun both on the whineing. Too bad there is not a filter that squelches everybody on 200 for 5 mins once they are shot down.

Ive got to chanell 200 rants....#1-  When I am pathetically HO'd by a vet when its obvious my guns arnt blazing and im looking for a good merge...

#2-  When dweebs run from my hurrimki!!!  Im sorry but I will always call this one out...Its one thing to extend 3k, grab out and TRY and bnz me, but to run all the way home from the slowest plane in the game...argh that gets 2 me

[B@tfinkV]

they aint running anywhere cav, its just you chugging along on those 8 pellet guns with an engine.

[Schutt]

Hey TexMurph, can only agree there.

BTW i have our two fights the other day filmed, you mind if i post them in help and training so they can be discussed? Looked pretty interesting on film.

It's never obvious your guns aren't blazing and you're looking for a good merge.  I run without tracers and assume everyone else does until proven otherwise.  If you're heading straight for me I assume you're going for the HO shot and react accordingly.

I've run from Hurricanes.  You can't always know the reasons.  Out of ammo, low on gas, shot up aircraft with significantly degraded performance...one of the key skills for landing aircraft is knowing when it's time to leave.  Sometimes reversing at 3k on a hurri puts you in range of the horde behind him.  Other times you're just not interested in killing one, or unsure of your ability to do so and not willing to take the risk.

The only thing ch. 200 complaints have in common is their futility.  It might make you feel better, but all it does is reduce the signal to noise ratio.  I still want the ability to squelch the channel entirely.

Cav...whats worse is when you see a guy coming and you think isnt going to HO...but he has tracers off and whacks ya.

"pretty interesting" is the understatement of the year!!!! They both looked like awesome fights. Good tactics and great flying on both parts!

I could be wrong, but wouldnt taking "200" out of one of your channels solve this problem for you?  200 isnt a default station so I believe if you untune it- waaaaa-laaaaa....no more hearing me call out LA7's running from me....

You'll be back though....They all are....  You'll be back on 200 faster than Filth claiming he'll never play AH again =) lmao
