I’ve been thinking about this training thing recently. And I think the solution is to publish our tactics in the Forum; at least the basic stuff. For example, time and time (including myself) I will see pilots just take off from the airport or base and fly out to attack the enemy one at time. So unless your under attack, take a loop or two around the carrier or airport and wait for your “wingman” (or two) to go out and attack. Only the best pilots can handle 3 on 1’s.
I am working on a tactics document with Slenderman and Calvin. (I think the ball is in my court – not sure – this funny thing called life keeps from the forum and dogfight. Slenderman/Calvin I’ll follow up with PM to you both to see what I need to do). I believe once this is distributed, it will make things a little easier on the communication part – I hope. In the meantime, my recommendation right now, is if you see an Enigma on your team shoot ‘em a text, “hey lets team-up”. Practice working together and communicating together and watching each other’s backs and learning to trust each other when flying. If you have planes and tanks attacking maybe you should communicate and let each other know who’s got tanks and who’s gonna cover in-coming. Keep it simple like “I tank – u plane ok?” or “I land u cover”. Or if you’re the lead plan try and push the front edge of the battle close to the enemy line; just tell everyone that your “pushing”. And just keep in mind, as most of you know, you’re gonna screw up. You’re going to tell someone that you got them covered and then go ahead and get yourself killed by a rookie or let the tank slip by and kill the ship. Don’t point fingers; but instead, continue the mission. Always, always, always continue the mission.
