Vulching Rampant in TA

"well if you read the rules you must check 6 before firing. "

I think you still dont really understand Check 6 usage. Its a WARNING for friend about closing enemy. Do you use it when you start "fight" from guys c6 d800 away?

If you want fight with my in TA you ask first "In XJazz?"  and if I answer "ok/yes/in trubo" fight is on AND everybody in that area knows that we have fight on.

xjazz has a valid point. Check 6 goes only to you. Only you (or your film) can prove if you were warned.Engagements should be called on channel 2 or open so EVERYONE knows who's engaged with who.

This should cut down on a LOT of the confusion!
I will be talking with HTC about this asap.
Expect the Message of the Day to change.
Also, thats about enough for this thread.
Time to let it go and move on.

The squad that was complained about the most has disbanded. The other has been through some serious soul searching and will be spending more time in  other arena's.

Point made, discussed, hammered out and driven home. Changes will be made. I'll expect everyone to be on their best behavior.

Exactly! If you lurk and bide your time in the TA, do your part as an experienced player and help the newbies. THAT's what TA is about.

Good to see something positive come out of this thread.  I may start to look in the TA occasionally myself to see if I can help anyone.... can't dogfight to save my life though, so it would have to be fairly basic advice...  :D

LOL.... wasn't sure, and realised you had a point - I was poking my nose in concerning an arena I have never been in, but I know from some of my former squad-mates that players have been put off in the past and was concerned to see the level of disruption going on.  LOL, the old AWAR in me, I suppose...  :D  Glad it's all worked out OK anyway....  ;)

That was a fantastic read for this newbie!

1) No credit card.  To many people would have passed on the opportunity of the trial.  I slipped away from 2 months of Fighter Ace with a paddle and bought a Sidewinder after a week of crashing planes and riding tanks here.

2) Keep pushin the HELP THE NEWBIE theme. This is a very difficult game to learn compared to some. All the help I have recieved is most appreciated.:D

Hmm.  I was in there a week ago, and wasn't vulched.   I saw this guy trying to Take-Off in a bomber and kept crashing.  I asked him FOUR times if he would like some tips and I would be more than willing to get in a bomber and help him in anyway possible.   Dead air is all I received.  No vox, or message bar.   I typed the following "You are in the training arena, I have witnessed you crash into the water four times, I am offering you advice and training for your problems, woudl you like my help?"  i still received no replies, I then typed "Enjoy swimming, bring a life preserver." Then proceed to take my 262 to 30k and perform some manouvers.  Some people do NOT want to be helped.  As I was climbing, this guy crashed four more times until he was out of sight!  

Masher

P.S. - I will ALWAYS extend a helping hand to people in need.   Way I was raised by my folks.  If I see someone struggling I'll offer eVERY time.  I will do the above EVERY time (four opportunities, come on!).  If ignored, you'll be ignored.  I saw the above guy the following day and the same "swim-fest" occured.

Masher It took me three days to figure out radio. Still only typing  rarely, It moves to fast.   can you delete the Victory by messages?

I also picked up I mic and hope to get it running tonite. I have a friend from other game also struggling. We would love to man the guns in a Lanc or something. Gonna read up some more!

PS: Next time please drop the life preserver I cant swim!!!:D

As far as I know concerning the Victories, no.  I don't mind them and rarely pay attention.

As for the Lanc.  Good choice, a squeak to fly.  Make sure your throttle is at 0, Use a little flaps, hold down C & V (brakes), 100% throttle, wait until it screams (full power), release brakes and TO.  This takes a we bit of practice, but not much.  

The bombing of targets is another hornet's nest.  It is the trickiest part about being in a bomber.  The best tip I can offer you is this and I find it works beautifully.  Say you are bombing a CV.  For EVERY 10,000ft.  Lead the CV, 1 CV length.  You will hit it everytime, if done properly.   This takes a toejamload of practice but really helps.  

I may go to the TA, today around 4PM EST.  I live in Michigan.  What is your GameID, I'll look for you and try and walk you through some toejam.

As a newer pilot I fly the TA on/off.   I have seen a lot of strange things happen in there.  As for people not responding to radio messages/typing/voice,  I had a similar experiance with a pilot, thought he was really weird, turns out I was the weird one,,,,,he was Swedish and spoke no English(or very little)  I guess the old adage about assumptions still applies!

Wacky:D
