Thanks for the input fin
We have always been a smaller squad and have grown to embrace that virtue. Granted we would have a more prominent showing in the game with wings and wings of players, but i guess that just makes us a lil more elusive and a rare breed. Compared to most squads we have a pretty strict recruitment also. Most requests are pending due to required flight time with squad mates (when player is unknown by us). Majority of the others don't make it based on maturity, skill, lack of respect for others, stats, and hopefully no bandwagon jumpers.

Please keep inquiries coming! We can use more discussion in our house. I'm naturally a quiet person so I'm not always starting conversations, but more than happy to jump in with my two cents lol. And I get to the point and just state my opinion since I'm quiet so I hope I never seem brash

I think we all like the tight-knit group we have. And like you, I don't want to be apart of huge conglomerate like the MOMs. I really like how you put it... "rare breed." However, I don't want to be part of an insignificant breed either, which is my concern - although arguably a premature one.

I greatly endorse our high standards on the DF aptitude test. I wouldn't have it any other way. Along these lines, I really appreciate how much attention this squad puts on forum behavior and reputation. It seems no posts/bad posts = no NLR, which is a standard that fits right at home with me.

As you posted just above, 420, we miss Luna. Moreover, we have a few others to miss as well. I'm just advocating for a push to help revitalize those sparks instead of waiting.

For the record, I love your two cents, 420. I think we would enjoy each other's company outside of virtual life. You seem to be one of those loyal friends everyone is glad to have on their side.

Cheers

Help!

I can't hit targets anymore. My KDR is nearing 1/2 most games. Where is everyone aiming? At the target doesn't work for me anymore. The only time I can hit someone is when they fly into my stream.

Tips?

Hey Finn,

Don't worry. It'll all sort out eventually. More update madness. Planes are bigger but not all platforms are the same...yet. You might want to try sight seeing for a bit. Lol.


NLR,

Sorry if you witnessed my recent conduct unbecomming of an officer. I'll tone it back down. Sheesh! Some peoples kids!

Hey guys, I played a fun game the other night with ishan/vivek and jas. I had just downloaded the newest update where the lag was horrendous and my chute was insane.

I just downloaded the newest update. I hope it will be better, but judging by Finns comment it will probably be worse.

Ill be on later tonight after the kids are out. Hopefully I see some of you up there

So I just played with the new update. Turned out a lot better than I expected lol. There is still a fair amount of delay after hits, but the chute is WAY better to control, almost too smooth and very slow to turn.

SOOoooOOOOoooo bummed I was only 1 kill shy of 100, oh well

Good Going Disrupt. Keep it up.

Hey NLR

On 29-Jan-2015 a Marathan game of 3:30 Hrs, father(Vivek) Beaten the son(Ishan) record of 273 with distinction i.e., getting the last hangar by myself. Enjoyed fully.

Posted the image on accomplishment Thread.


Vivek.

Hey all, unfortunately my laptop is on the fritz so for the time being I wont be able to play, but I will sure try and keep up with the forum until it is fixed or I replace it.

I hope I can get everything back up and running within a week otherwise withdraw might set in.

On a side note, keep an eye out for a player named ilia1989. I played a few games with him earlier this week and he seems like a very solid player with maturity. I never offered membership or anything, but I think he is worth looking at

Happy flying!

Please excuse my intrusion, my apologies and I'll be gone in a sec but I had to stop by and say thanks to a member of your squad for assistance rendered which turned an otherwise sure defeat into an underdog come from behind triumph. Thanks "BLUE", I would never have been able to shift out of a hopelessly outnumbered defense only game set if you hadn't shown up & then decide to stick around when all others joined, saw the odds, and said their goodbyes. If ever I can be of assistance don't hesitate to ask. Not that NLR would need my help, at least those I've flown with & against, every one of whom instills fear into the minds of Reds every where. I only know your founder from her "goodbye letter" but from the abilities which the squad displays and how they reflect on her (and you also Octavia) leadership I wish I had started playing sooner, my loss. And as a Veteran, outside the DF world, the games loss is the worlds gain. See you all around the sky. {GI} Larry G.

Larry G.,

Actually credit goes to you as you stayed there and shown resistance even being outnumbered.

You are brave heart and it I'll be my pleasure to fly with you.

Happy Flying.

Of the seven names so far on the "Hall of Fame" thread, three are NLRs. Nice to see those big names, Luna, 420, and McFate.

Also, my target troubles are over. I just had a 63k/27d (or something close to that) with two hangars game. The second hangar got me to level 27. Big deal for this pilot.

Well done Finn!

I've come to terms with the new physics. I doubt it will be long before the rest of the game community comes to terms with it too.(or leave in frustration) I am really looking forward to the next update!

Those NLR tags look nice in the HOF! I am flattered to have been voted in, especially among the first couple of rounds. It looks like Blue Fighter is not far behind.

I'm going out flying, if anyone would like to join me.

Good going Finn,

You have all the potential to become deadly pilot of NLR and just need little more practice and little more time. Hope to see you more often now.

Three pilots of NLR are the true pilots of Dog Fight community and they deserve the seat there. We are proud of them and happy to be associated with them.

My heartiest congratulations to each one of you Luna, Mcfate & 420.

Happy Flying

Alex,

I want to play up to the expectation of my squad and squad members.
That's a big compliment to me by a senior player like you. Thank you so much. It means a lot to me.
Vivek

After playing for a good half hour, I remembered why I stopped in the first place

Even with my brand new iPhone 6 and a much better WiFi router and ISP, lag for me is still very bad. Maybe it's my area, I don't know, but I can play all my other online games just fine!

Well done Finn! I have flown with you before and know how deadly of a pilot you are. Get some screen shots posted at the NLR museum. Its always nice to see when squadmates have a great game or lvl up. Seeing others performances (Viveks 300+ kills or Ishans 50-0 game) gives me something to strive for even though I will most likely never top their INSANE benchmarks

All of those NLR tags on the HOF board is an inspiration. Reid and Blue seem close to being up there as well

I'm going to try the skies again tonight... out of curiosity, what servers do you guys tend to fly in? I'm usually in Vimy, but I'll move if everyone's somewhere else!

Hey Folks!

A little catch-up for those who haven't been around for a bit.

I am pleased to say that Zup is making some headway on the game development!
(At this time Apple is still behind in important updates.)

-A new mission (Capture the Flag)
-More hits to shoot down a plane.
-Tanks no longer float nor fly.
-Planes no longer repair after bombing. (experimental for now)
-Planes and tanks are bigger. (it messed with the physics but seems to be normalizing.)

More to come!

-Team chat in game.(Reds can't see. Tactical communication will be available in game.)

I think that this will make a significant change in the importance of strategy in Dogfight!

Hey guys, I'm still around I got a glimpse of the bigger planes before my laptop went screwy. All of the improvements sound awesome! I can't wait to get back up in the air.

For now I'm still grounded before I could even fix my computer, my 8 month old messed up my charger by putting it in his mouth lol. My tax return is on its way so I should have these technical issues sorted out soon. Maybe ill just get a new laptop

Happy Flying!

Missing you Disrupt. Please get a new PC to avoid battery problems as now a days a single game will go for hours.
Hope to see you soon.

This happened few days ago, wanted to post here just kinda lost track of time. But a fantastic game with Ms 420!! Truly an honor to fly with u! )

Hi officers,

Kindly check your PM and reply at the earliest.

Thx

Vivek

Hi Officers,

Got another request, please check your PM and reply at the earliest.

Vivek

Hey all. The new updates sure have changed things. My KDR is 2/1 mostly, which is AMAZING for me. I even stayed on the positive against Davy and Comet earlier today. I had to go due to a phone call, however.

Since my numbers have taken a drastic turn for the positive, I can't help to wonder if a large gap will form between lower-level players and higher-level. In a sense, I wonder if the middle class (like I was) will start to disappear.

Like McFate, I can't wait for the team chats to kick in. However, once it does, pilots will have to learn how to follow directions and communicate well. Otherwise, team-chatting will be ineffective. Might start some real drama though. Can't wait to watch.


I Hope some new recruits come through. Other than the glimpse of McFate I caught a few days ago, I never see another NLR in the skies. Acegirl would make a nice addition, if s/he isn't already in a squad.

Hi Finn,

Good to see that you are going strong now. I used to play between 5.00 PM to 8.00 PM Indian Standard Time. I used to see Mehdit only. Due to time difference of countries, it is not possible for all of us to join but on weekends we do try to see each other on squad chat.

Secondly with team balancing, it will be by chance only that two NLR are on the same side. Most of the time, I found Mehdit as red.

Regarding new recruits, hope to see new members but as per NLR policy, after due approval from squad officers.

Happy Flying.

Finn, glad to hear your stats are on the rise Davy and Comet two of the best pilots in the game. I hope I can cope with all of the new changes to the game made recently as well. As far as seeing other nlrs in the air, I will be going to Seattle later this month for work and will have nothing to do, but fly during my down time lets just hope the hotel has good WiFi.

Happy Flying!
