well played very1, looking at the scores i was sure we were closer in the SU quater then Nemo has given credit for??? however i never hit record for that quater and so cant check.
The way I see it we more then held our own even if the score doesnt reflect that. I dont think Evil had an easy time with us 1st quater and then I think even though we were pinned and loosing easy kills GB we caused them some grief once the US boys started fighting to our North.
Ok my opinion of the GE quater is that we made a huge rookie mistake (which as a rookie myself along with a rookie squad IS GOING TO HAPPEN!!) Tbar :!?:
we as a squad, ignore the pin tryed to mix it in dogfights with every1, ok so the other squads took the fights over us to pick up our kills, but only a few of us actually made a brake, most just flew of the runway and at a bunch of nme planes, rather then braking away getting some alt and boom n zooming the squabling masses. Now Tbar I understand this must be frustrating for you mate but remember your not flying with a well oiled squad of hardend vets quite yet!
Then we have the finnal fall to pieces and collapse as US, one thing I must say is that we didnt roll over and quit. So we only picked up 9 kill, so we died alot. IMO we fell apart as we started flying as inderviduals and not a squad, something that will come together in time. We were outnumbered the full match and this did reflect on the score, I must say I'm disapointed by the low numbers as its the first time I've seen it here at Tides. Hopefully we will be back to full strength for the next match!
IMO the main things we need to work on are as follows
-Flying as a Squad, be it in pairs, 4's or as an 8 (we need to work on all IMO)
-Flying the GE planes effectivlly
now I know people are screaming US US US! but I say most (not all) squads struggle US, we will while we are up and coming as we are at a disadvantage with plane as well as skill. However the GE planes if used well can be much more devistating than the Spit, which I'm sure we are all quite comfortable in.
-Effective methods of avoiding Pins, and also Tactics for breaking out of them (I for 1 before yesterday had never been in that possition, and p----- off vibes down the comms didn't help, a friendly dirrect instruction would of)
"Tbar+Saj brake north, Grim+Picken South, Zarn+Ryrin go west"
grab the bull by the horns but dont scream in his face!
I hope this doesnt come across as negative, hell I still had a blast with you guys, and can see improvment in all the pilots, just this time we were targeted alot more then we have been in the past. Hell sure we will do the same in years 2 come
Thanks guys look forward to flying with you all soon!
