give your opinion as to what you think BSS should strive for this year.

I think I number one goal should be to get our guys all understanding the use of TS, Our Forums and our Website (bss.tidesofwar.net) I'm thinking our No/ One Goal should be 'communications'.
Its really hard work to keep up with a squadron when guys just disappear for weeks with no heads up to the group.
As Far as 'battle times' our goal should be 'Fly as a Team". In a match situation .. Fly as a Team and we get more kills overall !!
It is far more important to have pilots that can fly as a team .. then to have a lot of good pilots that can't. We have now pilots that can 'hold there' own in FFA .. but can't really help the team in matches because they are not good team players. This comment: not good team players, does not mean they don't want to be .. but something is preventing them for knowing when another pilots needs help, or not breaking off from a fight at the right time .. or not understanding when a team mate is setting up a kill for them. Understand its not important to get a STAR, but it is important that the TEAM get the five kills.
We should practice flying as a team .. always be on TS .. and always be giving out meaningful information at the right time .. and knowing when to leave the coms clear .. and when to speak.
Our Third goal should be to get every 'wing leader' experience at calling a match. What happens when Tbar or Joker can't be at a match? The Wing Leaders must take over and run the squad as if 'they' WERE the CO!
In a nutshell .. 'COMMUNICATION' should be our number one goal .. at all levels .. i.e. in game, forums, team speak, emails.. etc.
ALL the ABOVE is simply MHO.. of course

I think Tbar hit the nail squarely on the head.
We do need to have everyone using TEAM SPEAK effectively. Yes I want to win more than one round in a match and we are very capable of doing that very thing, IF we fly as a team. I too, have problems figureing out when someone needs help. Mostly because not enough information get to me over TS.
Saying, "I need some help" or "will someone get USHA_Q5 off me!" is okay, but if We don't know where you are or your altitude, its very likely you are going to DIE!!!
Trying say something like "Need help, Angels 4, grid R20". This way maybe someone close to you can help.
I still have a problem "seeing" or "visualizing" ropes. I'm getting a little better recognizing them, but I'm usually out of position to do something. In most cases its because we are not picking up a wing man to fly with. This is why I have been stressing the use of wingmen teams. It doesn't look like my advice is being taken seriously. If its good for the Air Force, Navy and MARINES in real life, then it should be enough for everyone playing Air Attack!.. Actually it should be better for us who play Air Attack. WHY???? Because when we get killed we get a chance to spawn again!! When the Armed Forces Pilots get killed its all over for them. They get a nice shinny casket and there wife gets a flag. I think you know the meaning.
Another thing is the lack of respect we get from our active pilots in our squad. PLEASE let us know if you can fly at a scheduled match or not. It's really quite embarrassing when we have a squad with over 30 active members and we only have 3 or 4 show up for a match. I foresee huge roster purge is coming soon.
Let's get it together for 2008. Its a brand new year.

P. S. Almost forgot, MY goals to be somewhere in the middle of the rankings for 2 squad and for us to WIN LTS!

You are correct Top_Gun Anyone can open up a practice room. and start a practice.
I would prefer that the Wing Leaders take on their responsibilites and start doing this, but I'm seeing a lack of interest.
Some are at least trying but the members in that area of ther world aren't showing up as often. Thats why I said it takes dedication. It has to be done every week at the same time. Eventually it will pick up. IF you only do it every so often, then no one will show up because they think they don't have too.
Wing Leaders< I need your help! I can't do it all.

Tuesday night at 8pm est is a set total squad practice has been for quite awhile now but seems that only certin people show up for these or the sunday practices which were put online bout the time the tuesday night practice was. all i see in the forums is i want to have practice i want to have practice.....if you want practice then show up for them when they are scheduled either tuesday evening at 8pm est or sunday afternoon at 1pm est. I will start putting out a squad e-mail one day before each practice which means monday and saturday as a reminder. I will attend as many as i can but with the job its gonna be hard but i will do what i can
