AA Rule Change?
- Thread starter Rex64
- Start date
I wanted to add another thing to the rules. Here is my sad story:
I was playing as AA for an entire round. Our team was winning most of the round. In the last quarter of the round things started to turn around. Everyone started blaming the AA (me). I had 9 kills. I started getting killed every time I got out of the base because my teammates were not defending me. I asked for advice from the team, and tried to follow it. I got killed a few more times. I was constantly bullied and harassed by team mates and even enemies. Although a couple of players supported me. I was chatting about the situation the whole time to be transparent and to learn better techniques and to get more team support to win back some ground. I lost the AA after a while to another user. I re-spawned as a soldier and jumped out of a chopper. Next thing I know WhiteFish admin killed me. He told me that he had a couple of reports from users that I was camping. I always headed for ABC. He later informed me that AAs can be kicked for poor performance even if they are following the rules. I told him I had 9 kills as AA but he seemed to indicate that I was still not doing good enough. I felt very bullied, and then mad at the admin/server because I was killed without him talking to me first. I would have listened to his suggestions if he had any for success. I also feel like he should have apologized for admin killing me when I was not in the AA at the time and because of the bad situation. If mandatory performance requirements is the rule, I feel like it should be formally listed / added to the rule.
EDIT: Also, after I lost the AA to a teammate, he ended up giving it to the enemy somehow. I was then threatened to be kicked by players, which I did not want on my record. It was very disturbing.

Rex in my opinion you are off a little when you say you had nine kills. I don't use the AA very often because I find it to boring but when I do I use it as a suppression vehicle not an attack vehicle, so the number of kills in it doesn't mean much to me. I try to get as close to ABC as I can and suppress the choppers and jets as soon as they come into view. If you fire a couple of missiles at them before they can get out and drop their pay load you are doing your job, because most of them will turn and run with their tails between their legs.
As for being killed by Whitey people have to realize that getting someone out of the AA is a process and it has to be handled smartly. This means checking to see if you are getting an accurate report (can check the large map for this), Then if the moderator is smart he lines someone up to take it over so the enemy doesn't get it. This said I find it hard to believe that Whitey would kick you for poor performance in it. Just keep in mind if done right it can be a time consuming task and you may have been out of it at the time and were collateral damage...............STRYKER.
P.S. Jello is good, girls fighting in Jello is better, licking them off after a bout is heavenly.

I put out a jello table every Sunday morning at flag C. You guys are welcome to jump in it.
If this happened a week or so ago I think I remember what happened. I was not on your team so I was not able to follow you on the map. I had numerous complaints from your team that you weren't doing what an AA is supposed to do which is suppress the air. Then I had someone from my team tell me to let you keep it cause you werent doing anything. At that point I may have seen your position on the map or what I though was you. I killed you, not kicked you. I then told you in chat I enjoy playing with you but the AA is tough to keep your team happy.
If you werent in it at the time, well im sorry. However, I was not on your team to verify that. The positive is you didn't die in real like and all you had to do was respawn.
The moderators take time of of their playing experience to make the game better for all. Its not perfect but its all we have.

Its a tricky situation with the AA, I run a tank most of the time, but on occasion I will hop in the AA, you can blast everything out of the sky, but miss just one chopper or jet while you are out repairing and shit hits the fan. If you have no tank support from your team and are constantly on the run, its tough to keep the skies clear. I've seen complaints about the AA guy when hes 60-0. You just cant win in the AA. I see "where the fuck is our AA" more than anything, and usually when I see it, the AA is just coming out of spawn because he died. Well.. Where the fuck is his tank support? LOL
People cant get better at the AA if you don't let them learn. We were all beginners at one point. We tend to forget that. AA's that park under the bridge or at the ends of the map are worthless however.

Move along we get it, though AA is tough, get in a squad that has mics to communicate with your team for that support. Better yet, get in A and B and many players will rep you and help you out by far, there is your support. Best wishes in the roads of the AA.
I don't mind going after the birds if they amass near F. But I haul butt back to ABC quickly. Everything in moderation.
BMW did you just come to the forums and say you take the AA to foxtrot? The seniors set up the server with very few rules but you are violating one of them. For one thing helis at F are a God Send because they are not focusing on ABC and they should be left alone with all of the other idiots there. I know Fremason-Kroll and myself are on the same page and I am pretty sure the other moderators are also and I hope we have the support of the senior admin. Just keep in mind that if I am on the server I will have to waste my tank to hunt you down and that pisses me off and weakens the team. So when I get there I will give you one warning to move to ABC and it would be smart to head my warning because the next step is a kick...............STRYKER.
I read you sig and I suggest you take your own advice.

Unfortunately BMW, I've personally seen you spend too much time around the tracks and south of them when A and B were getting hammered from air. The only reason you should be down there is if your team has ABC secured and NO air is up there.
It takes air a fraction of a second to get from F to A B, while it takes the AA a lot longer. If you chase them down there, you are falling for their plan to take you away from where you should be.
Bottom line is don't do it.
