This adds to the total awarded for tour 105

Are we getting that cheap chinese plastic or the high quality taiwan stuff????

I dont get it. Is it only the first 10 hours that count???

No not just the first 10 hours if the ratios stand up but if we become medal obssesed score whores I will imose 10 hours or less because the integirity of the squad must be maintained. This is/was what people were rightly concerned about and this is my answer has spoken.

If someone does it in 20, 30 or 100 hours ok (double,treble or 10x everything else of course) unless we lose sight of ourselves as a squad in which case this will be tightened to 10 or even less. The idea is to promote skill and excellence but not at the expense of the spirit of the team.

I believe you will be our first Gold medal Kling though Floats and Kvuo are also very strong. We have 3 Aces which is great for the squad

BTW I have tried every trick to get bronze and realise I may not yet be up to it I may have to practice for several more tours. So be it I will have fun trying and flying with my squaddies while I learn In other words I will fly in atack until I think I am good enough and the usual rules of death apply.

Only if your good

Personally if I do all of the above and I cant get bronze

I basically need to be a better shot and avoid the HO, learn how to shoot down bombers, preserve my E better, look behind me more, learn how to use the rudder properly, not fire until i get withing 400, find out what is going on in rolling scissors, avoid being roped, avoid getting low and slow when there are other cons in the area than the one I am yank and banking with, not be drawn into there ack, not be drawn over a wirrble, not get rammed by a newb, not ram the bomber I am trying to shoot down, not chase someone down to the deck and auger etc etc etc etc etc and find 2 people to kill for every time I get killed while the clock is ticking. You need to find 3

easy right

It would probably help to wing up more.

Personally I reckon ive shot my bolt for this tour in the first 2 hours but Ive learned allot, I might try again next tour. If anyone is really good in a fighter they will get the medal anyway without trying. The fighter medal shows you are at least average in the game, fighter ace bronze shows you've got some skill. I am average and I cant get it so I need to work on the above

Ive got my score whoring out of my system for this tour all I have to do now is enjoy myself and stay ahead of Zak

I think you speak for all of us with that quote

I think you speak for all of us with that quote [/quote]

After reading this for 5 minutes I have come up with mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmtitties

No what I would like to say is a few hours a month selfishly working on skills is good imho. You find out what your strenghts and weaknesses are very quickly in pursuit of these goals. One thing I know for sure is that no one really flies in order to get killed. I dont think we could get say 6-8 fighter aces in the squad without becoming a kick ass fighter squad. That is the contribution I am aiming to make to the squad as CO.

Anyway for the rest of this tour Ill be flying missions, winging up with you and generally hooning about, though never kamikazee style.

I scored whore a whole bunch today.

Whats the word on attack too.? <--- This thing cracks me up

I am not planning to do anything with atack for a while yet I am getting enough flak over fighter.

200-175m are you sure its in metres if thats what you mean i thought it was feet bearing in mind how big a plane looks at under 200.

Anyway the closer the better

its actually yards

No surprise that MY2 gets the fighter medal in his first tour back. I tip MY2 to be our fourth ace bronze or above.
