Squadron History
We are a P-38 dedicated squadron that are modeled after the 82nd Fighter Group of WW2 which participated in the ETO and MTO theaters. We were activated in Aces High 2 on Thursday, May 29th, 2009 under the command of Schwalbe. We are primarily rook country but we also flying lowest numbers so we move around depending on the numbers and operate on our public vox channel of 192.
All guests or visitors are encouraged and welcomed to fly with us as we are in fact looking for new recruits at this time.
Squadron Leadership and Organization
Currently the 82nd FG is commanded by Schwalbe and the two XO's consists of Hyperion and ForkTail. We operate and are organized by a structured, military style ranking system used by the USAAF of WW2. Our squadron is divided into 3 Squadrons of the 82nd FG: The 95th, 96th & 97th Fighter Squadron's.
Mission
The goal of 82nd Fighter Group is to simulate the typical USAAF squadrons that fought in the Mediterranean Theater during WWII. A primary focus is on teamwork and cooperation, with the goal of bringing as many pilots home in a sortie as possible. The squadron weekly trains in wingman tactics and formation maneuvers which all squadron members and recruits are expected to become proficient in.
We strive to carry ourselves to a higher standard than your average squadron. We advertise our unit's reputation through tactical precision, our disciplined but courtesy manner, our tactical formation flying and combat communication and teamwork.
Squadron Aircraft
The primary ride of 82nd FG is the Lockheed P-38 Lightning which are frequently used for air-to-air, High altitude escorting missions and occasionally air to ground missions. Other aircraft are also flown to add a variety of gameplay experience but ultimately the P-38's are flown at a minimum of 85% of all sorties logged.
