Summary
Reaper you sure do have a big mouth.  When you talk the way you do I hope you understand that you are representing the 71 RAF Squadron with bad taste.  Anytime you make statements, you represent yourself and your squadron.   

TnDep, you can think what you want. I didn't intentionally call you out by name, you chose to do that. The only reason I even brought that encounter up was Kazaa's response to my post. I deleted my response to him, you, and DrBone out of respect for you and Bone. (You're wrong, btw, it was 2v2 in the fight - if there were ANY other knits nearby at the time that encounter took place they were far too far away to be involved, but that's no matter at this point. I won't call you a liar like you implied I was, but I only saw the four of us.)

I like you and from what I know of you, Bone, and the entire squadron you guys are top notch sticks and stand-up guys. I still feel my original post was spot on, and apparently a lot of other people do as well. It wasn't intended to be disrespectful, just honest. You guys hunt in packs and have no compunction about ganging mercilessly. You don't think that's accurate?

Do you really have to criticize/mock the Co's of the squad? 

Actually, I was mocking pervert since he felt the need to not only taunt me on 200 last night, which I ignored, but he felt the need to bring this back up here. I was being the better man. You apparently didn't catch the part where I was joking, either, and just trying to provoke pervert since he felt the need to take a shot at me. All in fun, bro. Lighten up.

After my comment to your last post I was taken off of the 71 RAF forum.  From time to time I would check in and see what you guys were up to and how everyone was doing, I guess Redtop pulled me off.  I got huge respect for all of the guys from the 71 RAF except you because of the way you've represented yourself and the squad's dignity this week. 

I did not ask for that and never would, and would like you to still be welcome, always will. I still have respect for you as a player and an individual. If you lose respect for someone because they call you out on your behavior in the MA's then oh well. What you fail to realize is that outside of your own world, not everone looks at you guys the way you look at yourselves.

his group of guys in the Few are the most humble people I believe I could ever meet.  I believe Kazaa is the best pilot in the game bare none but I don't believe you would ever know it from listening to him and how he represents himself.  You never hear him say conceited statements and if he's dueling someone and you ask him who's going to win, he'll more then likely say something along the lines of "anyone can win on any given day" or some noninclusive statement.  That goes for the rest of the guys except maybe Bone  :devil I'm working on his manners at this time  :salute B I'm messin with ya bro  :rofl

I know nothing of your squad other than what I read here and on 200. Sometimes the way people come across on squad vox paints them in a different light than the way people see them outside of inter-squad comms. I'm not going to go tthrough the labor of cutting and pasting comments from different threads to reinforce my feelings, but there are a few in The Few who come across to "outsiders" as FAR from humble.

I think it comes down to a hence of jealously from you for whatever reason.

 :rofl

Bottom line is I think we've heard enough of you and it's time to close your mouth and put your hand on the stick. 

Like I said, I walked away. You be a man next time you're in a 38J, I'll take care of myself thank you.  :)


Once again,  :salute to The Few.

Is merciless ganging the same as having effective wingmen?

When you have one guy isolated, wingmen tactics aren't necessary anymore, unless you're afraid of losing the fight. It's a given that the second guy will come in and pop the winner after the fight's over, but if it's just a furball, jumping in earlier is dweebish, imo

If one of our guys is fighting a lone con, i dont think any of us would mindlessly jump in, usually only if the squadie asks for help. 

If anything, that would just pi$$ the squadie off..

Isn't this normal wingmanship?

Reaper I told the country man that we were severely outnumbered and out E to not climb to the other guys.  Maybe because you were looking for the two lower cons and not above you, you didn't see the other 4 friendlies but they were there I assure you(directly above you and I, no distance away just above).  As soon as I dove down and saw you diving down the other countryman got ganged by 4, I saw him explode.  Wish I had kept the video for you to see.

I think Micky put it well every squad does it heck we done it in fighter sweeps with 71 no difference

Sorry if I took this statement out of context but it appears from other posts and this one your taking shots at the entire Squadron of The Few.  I don't know what went on last night I wasn't there so that's between you, pervert, Redtop, and Bruv.

I did not ask for that and never would, and would like you to still be welcome, always will. I still have respect for you as a player and an individual. If you lose respect for someone because they call you out on your behavior in the MA's then oh well. What you fail to realize is that outside of your own world, not everone looks at you guys the way you look at yourselves.

I feel a little better inside about you as a person after reading this post versus some of the others.   

My behavior of running to my ack outnumbered and out-E'd doesn't bother me what so ever I'd do it again in a heart beat, if I'd have stayed I'd died like the other guy. 

Why do you think everyone looks at us in such a bad way?  We practice, critique ourselves, practice some more, do some more critiquing, and fly as a squadron/brothers/and don't want to lose a person when we leave the airfield, is that so bad?  It basically boils down to that people get frustrated of dying and decides to take there frustration out on us verbally because they can't do it physically by the game.  Every squadron in the game fly's together and kills in mass numbers just 2 days ago I was heading to a fight and bruv was engaged with a Spit - Bruv was in a Ki I believe and I asked him if he was o.k. - he said ya I got this guy so I kept my attitude just like any other squad does - if Bruv was in trouble, yes I would have went down and demolished the guy just like any other squad would have, you protect your own.  So whats so different from the way we fly versus any other squad?  The honest answer, It's skill level and jealousy from other players.  It just takes practice and dedication anyone is welcome to join us in the DA 23, 24 field and fly to improve and once each individual from the squad gets to a certain point in there ACM it makes for fun times in the MA of staying alive and becoming more effective wingman. 



I know nothing of your squad other than what I read here and on 200.
 
I'm not a member of the squad of "heads so large we can barely close the canopies of our Spitfires."


This is what I mean, as you say you know very little about the people in the Few but make a statement like this to the entire squadron.  If you mean that towards one particular person make sure it's put that way because this statement is to everyone and statements like this is why I put what I did.

Sometimes the way people come across on squad vox paints them in a different light than the way people see them outside of inter-squad comms. I'm not going to go through the labor of cutting and pasting comments from different threads to reinforce my feelings, but there are a few in The Few who come across to "outsiders" as FAR from humble.

Like I said, I walked away. You be a man next time you're in a 38J, I'll take care of myself thank you.  :)

Once again,  :salute to The Few.

Your speaking from other's players opinions and perspectives which is a No-No, if you don't know it first hand and it has nothing to do with you it's best to leave it alone. 

On a friendly note I don't know if I've ever dueled you 1v1 and I'd be happy to take you up on that offer on some friendly duels.  I'll be on tonight for a little bit around 7p.m. central and I'm off Monday and Tuesday maybe we can make it happen. :salute
