357th DEATH DRAGONS

[greens]

357th DEATH DRAGONS was founded almost 2yrs ago, why is this new squad taking our "357th" is that right?

[trotter]

Unfortunately, you can't claim numbers. But if you PM one of their upper heirarchy and explain, most squads will accomodate.

Perhaps they just were not aware of the DEATHDRAGONS. Once explained, they will likely be willing to change if it bothers you.

If they are not willing to change even when asked nicely, they are very likely under the age of 14, and their squad will be gone anyway within 2 weeks to be reformed as a Luftwaffe only squad, and then two weeks later a ground vehicle only squad, and then you will never hear from them again.

I asked nicely just got barked at, sheesh no respect. one of the yuxford squeekers dissed our squad the 357th death dragons. apparantly they don't understand 357th is taken. Limbo0 Xtrepid and Bomber49 was founding members.

I would say that -=357FG Yoxford Boys=- is different enough from [357TH]Death Dragons to prevent any confusion.
As has been said earlier, you don't have any exclusive rights on a historical unit number. Can't even remember how many variations of JV 44 I have seen over the years, many of them at the same time..

Just try to be the better 357th

Pretty sure there was already a 357th before your squad also. 

[oakranger]

look how many sqa of the same but not sure if some are still active.

3 x 71 Squadron RAF
2 x 77th FS "Gamblers"
3 x 81stKrEwSaDeRz
12 x    CLAIM JUMPERS

That is just some sqa with the same name and then there are others like JV44 that divide like I/JV 44.  The important key to keep in mind is that there is only one sqa that made their name for them self. and new sqa with the same name will never replace your name.

^facepalm.

Hold on a minute, we represent the 357th Yoxford Boys of WWII. What my squad mate was trying to relay was that the 357th Death Dragons is not historically accurate. Our squad is named after an actual squadron. We will not change the name just because your squad had the number 357 before us. If we did that then we would be giving you the right to have an inaccurate name while we go to something else. We are not 14 year olds just trying to piss you off, but it would be nice if your squad was historically accurate. If you want a name that you think is cool then by all means go ahead with it, but dont disrespect history.

same squad, 3 wings. we have lots of members who only play intermittently, never seen more than 32 members active in any tour while ive been around.

A squad's reputation is a product of its membership and conduct...not it's "name". 90% of the squads in the game are meaningless in the scheme of things and maybe 1% (or less) have any historical significance (thinking of squads like The Damned and Musketeers that can trace back the beginnings of the game). "Who" you are is much more important then what you call yourself

greens, just get over it! And then to top it off, you come on here whining like a 5 year old about something you cant do anything about. Why dont you rename your squad?

The Musketeers will celebrate 20 years of continuous online fighter combat in January 2010.  Our 14 year olds are second generation Muskies.

dhart has a good point, his sqn is a representation of 357th FG "Yoxford Boys".

greens are your 357th "Death Dealers" trying to represent a RL squadron or group? 357th FS/355th FG "Steeple Morden Strafers", 357th FG "Yoxford Boys" or VMF-114 "Death Dealers"?
