Author Topic: "Giretsu" - Ki-84 Squadron (Read 909 times)

Karash · « **on:** March 05, 2007, 11:02:02 AM »

Hello everyone,

I am looking for pilots that enjoy flying the Ki-84, and would like to form a squadron to fly sorties together. We would also do training, drills, and missions. Eventually I would like to expand to the Japanese bomber, and Zeke M5 for carrier based action. Looking for people that:

-Consider the Ki-84 their primary 'bird'

-Are mature

-Have a willingness to learn wingman tactics and cover

New players are welcome, please post in this thread if you are interested. I typically play 2 or 3 days out of the week. I have always flown with Rooks, but changing sides often is not a problem if thats what the squandron wants to do. If you are into stats, my stats are under "Karash". And just in case you are interested in what "Giretsu" means, you can read this wikipedia article about it:

Thanks for reading.

Hi Karash,

I might be interested in such a squad. I fly Rook in game as zes. Am thinking a whole squad of KI's would be a hoot.

Let me know how things develop.

Add the Ki-61 to the mix, and I'm interested too.

I was actually flying the 61 the other day...its not to bad with some alt.

Been away for a week, but planning on getting a few nights in this week. I will look for you guys online.

Zes, let me know if you are still interested...I will invite you ingame soon as I figure out how

(Never ran a squad before...Wolf14, help!!

)

Log in. If you have no squad, invite somebody and you will be the first person (and owner) of that squad.

Just type

.sqinvite

You can invite them when they're not online, and they'll get it when they log in, I believe.

You can go to the squad screen in the O' Club on the game menu, from any tower. There you can do other things including changing the squad name and/or adding more players.

Side note: It depends on the arena. Main arenas share a squadron. SEA has its own squadron, and AVA has its own squadron.

So, you can have a different sqaud setup in the AvA and the MA.

It's ".sqdinvite gameID", btw, and yes, the player will receive the invite the next time they log in, unless they are already in a squad.

If you get the squad going and fly Bish at any time, I'd love to fly with yall for a few sorties. Tried the 84 for a couple of tours and was impressed at my survival rate. But I had problems turning the tables on the enemy.

I was one of the "last men standing" in Rumble 3 in it. But I just couldn't get a solution after an evation like I can in other cannon rides. A high angle snapshot doen't seem to be enough for me and I can't seem to track a BnZer long enough.

I think it has somthing to do with it being so vastly different other planes. May have been evading too hard and may not have given it the time it diserved.

Yea I am trying to form a squad, but no luck yet. Do you use Hacksawx in the MA? The Ki-84 is definately different from most rides I have found. You really cannot use Combat Trim at all or it really limits your options. Not too many people fly it, thats for sure.

Hi Karash,

Sorry I hadn't checked this forum in a while. Yes, I'll join up. Next time you see me in game send me a pm and I'll disband the "AssistMasters" (a squad of 1, me) and join Giretsu.

Till then

RSLQK186 · « **Reply #12 on:** March 25, 2007, 06:59:56 PM »

Yes Karash, that would be me.

And my lack of weining from combat trim could vary well be my issue with the 84. Doing a quick evasive and slaming on the brakes may leaving me too slow to get the nose where I want it when they pass by. CT off would probably help.

Weining from CT is on my list of things to do, but keeps getting bumped for uppin'N diein'

Krusty lurnt typos frum HT hehe

A squadron of KI's up would be a nightmare to most other squads in the same airspace. Only thing they could do is run away and pray.

...verrrrry interrrresting concept!

Karash · « **Reply #14 on:** March 27, 2007, 12:48:46 PM »

No problem zes! I have been off and on as well. Like I said, I generally only fly about 3 or 4 times a week. I sent you a squad invite, but you probably did not recieve it as you were already in a squadron. You should disband that first, then I can resend the invite. Let me know here when thats done...or see you online first!
