Since coming back to eRep I have really gotten excited about fighting. I’m fully airborne, totally crushing it in air battles. Because it’s a new module, I’m actually competitive. Never in my eLife have I been competitive on a battlefield. When I got back to the game there was really only one MU that even had an airborne unit. I knew I needed to be fighting in the air, but I wasn’t sure where to go or what to do. Easy Company absolutely put me on the right track. They told me exactly what I need to do to level up quickly and contribute to the military interests of the eUS and I’ve really come to enjoy gathering together with buddies on discord and dropping damage together when the air battles come up.
Then I realized the people I’m teaming up with on discord to do this aren’t even in EZC. Quite a few of them are in the new airborne regiment- USAAC. I have been asked to join them over there and get it off the ground. I’ll be honest, I am tempted. In my personal experience, this game has been all about building new things in the game- parties, programs, military units. There hasn’t been anything in this game quite so satisfying as seeing something you helped build turn into something great.
I’m still not sure what I am going to do- stick with the powerhouse of Easy Company and be a cog in their killing machine? Or go to USAAC and help them build something new?
What would you do?
JOIN USAAC or JOIN EZC

Build something new or stick with the best?

I would stick with EZC...... but maybe you need that something to build.
USAAC. The status quo is boring
This isn't a straightforward decision for you, I can imagine.
Personally, I am sticking with EZC. The faith that the command structure has placed in each individual pilot, preparing us for Perception TG release, speaks volumes. At EZC you might feel like a small fish in a big pond, but you're still treated like a power player. All the pilots are, and I know you know that.
That said, things can always be better. Why don't you try something different? Build on the foundations that others have built. Turn EZC Airborne into the powerhouse it should be. Don't go play in the tiny sandpit of USAAC, where you'll be expected to do a bulk of the work.
good points. EZC has been very good to me. I only debate this situation because I've always liked being in on the ground floor (like I was with EZC lol)

Ezc is perfect, they are the strongest mu in the us for a reason.
I believe that's just more reason to leave and start a new. The aac and usaf needs help, they aren't doomed as some people might suggest. They can be created and fostered into something formidable. Ezc is already formidable, they already have their officer corps and their leaders. They don't need you, they don't need me or anyone. And that's to their benefit for sure but it also proves that there's no reason for you to stay and try and fix something that's already solid and doesn't need it.
That's the reason I left, not a personal vendetta or anything of the such. But because I saw the chance to create something new. A new community and something to feel proud that I helped create.
Hey fg, I remember advising you to join the ezc when you came back. Having gotten to know you better over the last few months I'm gonna say ezc is awesome, you are awesome, but the ezc doesn't "need" you. I haven't been following exactly what's going on in usacc, but I think it's important. So I say usacc.
it also helps to lead various MUs in a coordinated attack you seem like you are getting the idea where noone else has tried thats what i like about you FG keep it up.
Bear Cavalry's air unit: Red Zeppelin.
That was the name of my second grade soccer team. True story.
I'm quite proud of what EZC have accomplished. I'm also quite proud of the number of EZC members that came up within USAF. There are many but nui and john nwp stand out as fighters that gave far more than they took from the US community at large or the USAF. You're in excellent company where you are so your choice will not be an easy one. Whichever you choose, you'll continue to be on the winning team.
I'm all for starting new stuff and that is what eRep is all about, there would be no hard feelings if you ever leave and will always be welcome back. The only thing that I've always been against (and I never did it myself) is poaching other members of any military units, if people are actually asking you to join their MU, well looks like someone is poaching our members.
I'm not sure I would take it that way. But only because I'm like leadership-tier. But that raises an interesting question... USAAC is brand new and a good place for future leaders to be cultivated. It could be argued they need an old fart like me much less.
To be honest, I wasn't really talking about you since I do think they need better leadership and going after you is a logical choice. On the other hand, I've received warnings from very-regular-not-very-involved players that they are being approched by USAAC. I agree they need to step up their recruiting, but they should avoid players that are already members of a MU.
You have guns for fingers, you don't really need a unit at all. Just go in on your own, fingers blazin' as a one (wo)man strike team of surgical precision death dealing.
I would suggest a blue pill out of the brown bottle.
