Yeah only 2 of those guys I play with regularly. That guy box is kind of a tag a long of one of my friends. We are usually a lot better than that.

No worries, I can't say much as I had a game or two that I didn't do too well. I usually play HC TDM so the Domination was a new experience for me, but still fun.

Get in with a large company fulfilling a contract of sorts and the pay gets pretty good, plus the full benefits package is decent as well. How long have you been doing anything on aircraft?

I can't do TDM. I need an objective. We used to play a lot of S&D but have moved to HQ and domination. I kill lots of things that way. I had a few off games too. Sometimes stuff just doesn't go my way it seems.

Haha, no worries, wasn't too long. Well I was going to say that if you had enough experience I could get you an interview here, but they require at least 4 years experience for mechanics and 8 years for avionics and electricians.

I have a buddy that says the same thing. He'll play TDM with me but only if I agree to play some objectives with him later. It works out good cause I'm good at killing people and he's good at securing the objectives, so he goes for those and I flank and kill everyone. lol You and him would get along good.

Oh ok. that makes sense.

Now where do the problems like bump steer and DW come from? Would i need to get other stuff steering related so it handles fine on the road?

You have asked the ultimate question, and one that is still yet to be discovered. Keep in mind your caster angle, pinion angle, the difference in angles between your drag link and trac bar, tire balance and mainly alignment when you're installing everything and you MIGHT be alright. You never can really tell until after it's all put together, get an alignment and test it out.
