Famine Posted October 11, 2020 Posted October 11, 2020 This is my first post on these forums; apologies to the mods before hand if this is breaking the rules (couldn't find a way to PM). Due to the absolute embarrassment of the Folds for Honor thread with how our local fighter pilots were treated, I'd like to just take a opportunity to thank GB for being a outstanding member of the community. I would hope he would realise the amount of members here who do welcome his expertise are the majority. I wish you all the best, & would hope you reconsider your decision, as most of us here (including the silent majority) greatly appreciate your perspective. Cheers :beer: Let's see: -Watching Youtube Videos -Playing Video Games -No consequences vs. -Passing formal aptitude tests -Formal academic training written by real instructors (not the internet) -Formal flight training, where you if you fail enough and you're out (and it's easy to fail) -Literally years to earn qualifications, and if you don't earn them, you're out -Each syllabus is rigorous, taught by experts, accurate, and not a simulation -Literally thousands of hours studying real tactics, real procedures, real techniques, in a vault with real information. Thousands of hours. Just to keep sharp even not when in a formal syllabus. Now your comment that I'm replying to here has to be one of the most misguided ones I've seen on these forums. While being a RL fighter pilot has no bearing on being a video game expert, it does make somebody an expert on flying fighters in real life....which people here are claiming they want to simulate as much as possible in the game. Conversely, being a video game expert has no bearing on flying fighters IRL; unfortunately several in this thread think the gaming makes them know more about the real life procedures and culture (not talking about the unique DCS characteristics which the gamer knows much about) than the fighter pilots. It is obvious that my input is not valued here. I am patient and I always keep my discussions civil. While I cannot speak for the other pilots, I will say that my time on the forums is done. I know you will say good riddance. That is fine. My time here is up. Thanks to the great members of this community who enjoy learning and talking about fighter jets and for those have given me great feedback. If we meet, first round is on me.
probad Posted October 12, 2020 Posted October 12, 2020 think twice before you advocate and support wanton recruitment of simply 'more players' because once you stink up a community with some turds, the smes leave and once the smes leave everyone leaves because theres no point holding hands with the posers thats how you kill a community
