  1. I spoke to him two nights before he died.
     
    As always he was laughing, cracking jokes about the British and asking when I would send him crumpets (I still laugh about it to this day). We had a great gaming session and went our separate ways. He always acted in this manner and not once did I suspect that he was suffering from severe depression.

    I didnt know he was suffering but wish he had said something.
     
    Every year, I question: "What if?" and maybe I could have prevented this tragic event. We all have our regrets in life, one of mine is not supporting him in his time of need.
    Having been through a big slump in life, also considering taking my own life at one point, I can definitely say that it is an extremely dark and lonely place to be.
     
    What got me out of it was the simple act of talking to people and slowly opening up my problems to those who I trusted. This included online friends.
    It was only at that point did I gain the courage to move on and set my life straight again.

  2. Hola! 

    First off, Welcome to the fourms! :crigon_04:

    Thank you for your interest in Admin'ing here - we keep an eye on potential candidates to be sure they posses the same spirit, maturity, and positive attitude we expect from potential new PR Admins and VG Members here.  Get to know the other regular players, PR Admins, and VG Members here and make some friends, too.  We do not promote people we do not know, so get known.

    If you have not done so already, Good place to start would be to introduce yourself to the regulars and admins on TeamSpeak.

    Address: ts3.veterans-gaming.com

    The more we get to know you, the quicker we can assess and find out if you are a viable candidate for admin status.

    If you got any further questions, feel free to express them here.

     

    Gracias amigo,

    2. LATs now fire at helos that wander too close & have increased range against IFVs and MBTs

    Gonna love watching all the newbies trying to land and give crates on Muttrah rooftops... Boom!

    4. Jets now drop bombs on INF.

    Khami and Kashan will never be the same again. I foresee multiple squad wipes.

    5. Bots now use GL launchers from longer range and fire smoke rounds at light vehicles and INF that's beyond their usual engagement range.

    Hacks I swear - They can see through the smoke man! Bots and their super-tech.

     

    Love the changes TEDF, I'm sure you'll get plenty of feedback!

  4. Echo1,

    I'm honestly tired of being on PR with no admins and dealing with stupidity. It ruins the game for all and report does nothing...

    We appreciate the concern.

    Its the holiday season and obviously our admins are spending time with their loved ones. This is the main reason why many of our admins (Including myself) have not been very active lately.

    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Having read your previous threads, I understand your frustration. 

    I must kindly remind you that our admins are not only there to moderate the server but are also there to enjoy the game.

    We all come online whenever possible and if a player requests our presence on TeamSpeak. We also have admins regularly checking over the logs (the report function is not as useless as you believe it to be). 

     

    All our admins are actively looking at each player on the server and discussing if they are a viable candidate for admin rights. 

    That said, there is a strong level of trust between our admins - This trust is built over time as all our admins are regular players with a strong sense of teamwork and cooperation. We cannot randomly pick players for admin rights as we need to know if we can trust them.

    ...This is a problem thats now starting to occur. Needs to be fixed

    I beg to differ - his problem has been around for as long as I can remember.

    The "stupid" players will always come and go, they either get banned or get bored. As DarkCottonTail said, this is mainly due to the holidays, It will all die down after the New Year.

    Its whatever not gonna post any more about this cause all i get is same replies

    Again, we are aware of the issue. Please do not add sass to your thread, you have had several honest replies.

    Get in touch and I assure you that everyone in the admin team will be willing to help.

     

    Regards,

  5. Nice video Kav.

    Just one point (correct me if I'm wrong) but you need to set the distance first then call in the Airstrike. This creates a yellow marker for CAS to see on the map. If you don't the game corrects you and says "You need to set the distance..."

    However, Its not required as CAS can lock on to the Laze either way but it really helps! It allows them to pinpoint exactly where the laze is, this can also apply to setting a spot marker or calling in an Area Attack.

    Also, it goes without saying, communication with the CAS squad leader is key. Avoids accidental lazes and teamkills...

    ------------------------

    Putting it simply;

    1.Use GLTD

    2.Find Range by left clicking (Also sets the Laze)

    3.Set Range using the "commo rose"

    4.Call in CAS / Set marker (Spot) / Area Attack using the "commo rose"

    -----------------------

    @=VG= Kavelenko If you are free sometime, do you want to work on an Area Attack video with me? We can get both the squad leader and commander perspectives.

  6. Funny you should mention Squad.

    I saw this video just now (his footage is made on our server). He makes a solid comparison between Squad and Project Reality.

    Honestly, I am just waiting on the heavier assets to be released before I jump back into Squad. Think many here will agree.

  7. Interesting KAV.

    Like you, I approach the carrier below 500Knts with my AOA at 5deg. I then continue to hold down the "S" key once I'm closer, bringing the AOA higher as the speed drops. I never let go of the "S" key.

    Somehow I always manage to get into a controlled hover, allowing me to land vertically. I have never needed to land like a normal jet... :mellow:
