"Rookie" Inferior or Superior?
Posted: Thu Oct 25, 2007 7:49 am
Rookies are often referred to as "The Newbie and or Noob", which has a certain
unpleasant sound to it, Coming from the veteran pilots,,, and many say it in a chat
message to another either in meaning "Stupid, Dumb or Easy Kill."
So I as a Rookie myself, then why if we are such easy prey as most point out, 'Take
2 or more to take a lone rookie out?",,, After all they are dumb and sitting ducks, and
lack the skills, ability, tactical and the strategy needed to compete with the vet, Right?
Or are they??? Keep in mind, Rookies learn fast, especially when they are frustrated,
and just about to "Ring the Bell" (To quit!) They settle in at their own pace, and not the
vet's pace, that is where a rookie makes their 1st and last mistake! A vet will climb high
and hope that some dumb rookie will try to come to him, where he is waiting and abiding
his time to swoop down and gobble you up! A rookie tends to forget, The arena such as
FFA is the Vet's Home!, Where he feels comfortable knowing every crevice, nook & cranny!
After all the Vet tends to forget also, at one time they were the Newbie too, and they let
their guard down the majority of the time!, you see this when they send a message to their
cohorts saying, "he got lucky" or was watching another pilot! Nah, I do not by in to that
he got lucky crap, cause it took skill & tactics to stay up with this vet in manuvering , climbs,
dives, rolls, turns & etc to nail him! A rookie does not need to "Spawn, Runway and or go
after prey who have been wounded by others, he goes for fresh meat, where the Vet least
suspects him to go! The rookie watches the best in hopes to become the best! Remember
the Rookie was once you! In closing and pertaing to 2 dirty vet tatics that I will never do, is
1. Rookie on Vet's tail closing in fast, Vet hits escape button! 2. Rookie does severe damage
to Vet's plane, Vet starts to land with wheels just touching runway, Rookie veers and breaks off,
Vet recovers "0%" damage, Rookie's mistake, to pass by end of runway where Vet is already
taxing to get him shooting on lift off! Now I believe I have been taught all the dirty tricks there is
to know, I have had some good teachers using this dirty tactic behavior, I will not apply it my
self to others, only stay vigilant for those who do!
