If the gunner starts shooting flak at the same time as hades and is reloading by the time armor breaks, nothing even the best pilot can do except suggest/cajole/plead/rage/ragequit.

That is my favorite part of this game. No matter how hardcore or pro a player is, whatever his/her role on the ship, it is impossible to singularly carry a team. You need teamwork to do anything at all in Guns, and I love it so much.

People that stick to Guns of Icarus are really good-natured people. They tend to flock together and play together (to no fault of their own except being really nice people), and wreck a lot of new/average players.
Its been a while since I've seen 30+ 4-digiter join a match without a friend 30+ 4-digiter. There's nothing wrong with it, its just -> :P
Spud Nick:
I forget sometimes that teamwork does not mean "Do what I say or we will lose" Remind me if you are every on my ship.
Lanliss:
I give orders to people who are really low lvl, like 3-7, but if someone seems to know what they are talking about and doing, I generally just let my ship run itself. I have gotten mostly lucky in that respect, since my ship actually does manage to run itself most of the time. I just give some quick feedback like "I assume I don't have to tell you to wait for red on those mortars? You seem to have a handle on this." To which the answer is always either, oh yeah thanks for the reminder, or nope but thanks for the thought.
I do not know if it is a common problem, but I only ever have problems when I am not pilot. Some of the flying I have seen is just terrible. And it is never in the middle when I get a pilot. They either only point one gun(never the main gun) at the enemy, or they are a lvl 45 badass who can fly a mobula through a sewing needle's head.
Schwalbe:
I never say things like that aboard. I always explain how things work the best I can. Only if somebody goes full retarded by not taking what I asked for - I go FULL sarcastic. Usually it turns out that AI work better than such people. I always try to encourage people's efforts.
So far I had only one guy who pissed me off to the point I suddenly said "SCREW IT. I'M STOPPING HERE. WE'RE NOT MOVING ANYWHERE, BECAUSE FUCK THAT GUY".
The said bastard came as a second gunner (all heil the almighty matchmaker). I recommended him and engineer loadout I needed. He declined me and IMMEDIATELY blocked me. The said dense motherfucker not only did not bring what I needed him to bring, he also blocked so I couldn't give him orders or any fucking piece of advice. What's more - he was badly disrupting work of literally everyone.
So I said: "FUCK YOU". This shithead even tried to reclaim the helm.
And finally I started to whine on match chat how screwed this dograpist is, when all of the sudden - HE UNBLOCKED ME.
AND I KNEW HIS OMNIPRESENT WRATH AS HE STARTED CALLING ME A NOOB AND A RAGEKID.
Thank God this trollcrap had left soon after that. Thanks to this I was able to do the come back from 3-0 to 3-5. Goddammit.
Soooo, will anyone else try to tell me we have no reason to hate new players? Of course that not all of them. And it's not like I greet them with "Fuck off, come no sooner you have 100 matches" (Mr.Disaster). But if somebody says that we have absolutely no reason to do so, I will probably shiv the bastard.
Lanliss:
I do not think it is necessary to hate new players. It is less often about being lucky to find a diamond in the rough, and more often being unlucky to find a piece of crap in a pile of pearls. Sometimes bad luck happens, and if anyone is that kind of an asshole, you have every right to hate them. Just don't hate the entire population because you were unlucky enough to find Hitler among them.
