    We don't need to train basic piloting. If you can't land a helicopter or take off then you really should never think of being a pilot on EU1 let alone on Enhanced. Not trying to be rude but flying isn't something you can teach or teach easily. You don't need a training session for it, editor works, wasteland works. Just don't spend hours teaching them how to do something when they can teach themselves. For example, you cant self teach a convoy, AI will never do what you want them to. However since piloting involves only the player they can teach themselves, and also you can download a transporting mission on the editor which is how I learned.

     

    All for doing some smaller scale side training sessions on basic and advanced piloting for those who want it. Obviously an entire server training session for piloting doesn't need to be devoted with the turnout the past training sessions have had (ie 15-20+ players)

    Maybe we can share names of ignorant players between the regular AWE players to be on a lookout should they connect? My 2 cents.

     

    Share names of players? No. I don't think spreading around someone's inabilities to everyone is right, and making people feel paranoid to try out roles if they are new. I feel we have it in a good state where a brand new/newer player to AWE can slot into a role without feeling like everyone on the server has their eyes on them for any slip up or error they make. You can always mention it to other players that someone may be inexperienced, but how you mentioned it sounded a bit more organised than that.

    Quality should always be above Quantity

    Politely, I disagree with you there @Noah_Hero.

     

    I completely understand that when someone has a lack of understanding of their role and is proving detrimental to the mission, it is frustrating. But locking AWE behind training sessions or refusing players from selecting specific roles turns it into a private milsim community. AWE IS a public server. There isn't - and there shouldn't - be something stopping anyone taking what they choose. Although we are more 'closed' than I&A through the TS, modset/repo, etc etc, we aren't private, and we don't vet our players.

     

    New dude is doing a poor job of their role? Frequent player is doing a poor job of their role? So. What. It isn't a requirement to know your shit. We actively promote and seek to help people learn on this server, but we never tell someone they have to attend a meeting or training session before they can begin playing. Quality shouldn't always be above Quantity. Save that for other Milsim groups, or push that behaviour and ruling for the MSO, I don't know.

     

    I get it that a dude crashing a heli or wasting resources is annoying when you're playing. But ultimately, it's a mission that will last about 30 mins, then there is a new one, or the map changes. There is no permanent repercussion for them not playing right. You tell them if they're doing something wrong, offer help, potentially advise them to take a different role, or you inform an admin if they're pissing around. I feel we do a good job of helping people improve, but blocking players from roles because they're not good at it is not what this server is about.
