Training [May 19, 2015] [Tuesday 19th May} - Anti-Air Training - Tuesday 19th (Continent TBC)

[TheBinarySurfer]

Hi all,

This training is designed to up the quality of our anti-air game, given the recent quite potent air wings the VS and NC now regularly have up. It will NOT cover air-air combat in aircraft, but rather ground-based AA and how to use it to greater effect.

The training will begin at 1900 GMT(BST) : go to http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/converter.html if in doubt

This training is for ALL members including recruits, members, officers, PL's, SL's and Vets. The actual training bit will:

• Consist of 3 key topics.
• Be short and focused (<30m)
• Focus on 'practical' applications but include of 'why'.
• Include some fairly (very) inappropriate humor.
• Involve ruining the VS/NC's day with AA at the end.

I'd ask that everyone is online 10m before the training is due to start, as I will pick a 'quiet' continent then and ask everyone to load across (this gives time for non-members) that may have a queue. There will be a squad up on me from 15m before, please all join the training channel.

Any questions, please get in touch via PM's on the forum or in-game.

Cheers and see you there!

Added a countdown timer to your post @TheBinarySurfer

Just to clarify, ALL means recruits as well (as opposed to recruiters)?

Everybody - the more useful AA we have, the more binary and zunk can flatten our enemies on the ground...

Doesn't this clash with SL training or is SL training not on next next week?

 

[Pajszer]

Oh teach me master, master teach me...

 

[TheBinarySurfer]

Just a bit of a teaser also: the stuff we go through will have much wider applications and uses than just AA, although the session will focus on it.

 

[HerHareHair]

Is there a list of required and/or recommended cert unlocks for the training?

 

[Zunk]

I'd recommend this session to everyone. Been chatting with my pilot (Air Commodore Binary) and it's very handy stuff he's gonna cover. Plus the stuff he's recommending is big fun too!

 

[TheBinarySurfer]

Is there a list of required and/or recommended cert unlocks for the training?

I don't want to be too 'requiring' so won't specify cert unlocks but the training won't really go into certing stuff as it's fairly dry/dull stuff However i'm happy to talk anyone through AA unlocks/certing, just poke me in air wing.

 

[HerHareHair]

By required I meant unlocks that are essential for providing any useful AA support (like say having at least one ground to air lock-on).

And certing isn't dull for people that still don't have all essentials (like me ). I really would love BRTD version of http://www.reddit.com/r/yellowbus/comments/2r8pm0/cert_advices/

 

[TheBinarySurfer]

I'll set up a session to talk through general certing principles based on what role you favour / skill level, but will make sure i briefly cover AA certing priorities (will work it into it today).

 

[Odbball]

I'll try to be there.
Maybe we could try the mobile AA surprise bus.
Load the sundy with 11 AA maxes and when a lib comes for an "easy kill" ... SURPRISE MOTHA FUCKA ...

Tonight's the night.
No longer shall PPA and Air Hammer farmers get the better of you. It's time to fight back!

The training starts in 3 hours from this post.

Still for an hour in the office...

Is anyone going to record (at least Mumble voice chat) it for future generations?

I was going to ask if someone could record it. I'm still not 100% sure if I'm going out tonight (It's my mothers Birthday).

 

[EddiesMinion]

I'll record it if I'm there...about that, @Nicolai @TheBinarySurfer are your two events going to clash?

This is the response I got from Binary when I asked him:

"It won't be on that week and in fact replaces SL training: Nic and I have worked to schedule it "

So, no it won't as SL training isn't on.

 

[TheRiddic4]

Found out for sure I can't attend. Sorry, I would of loved to.
