*******WE ARE RECRUITING********
We're a rooks based dedicated bomber squadron (one of the very few such as the 48th) who use real formations and hit targets with precision. We could use experienced bombers (can hit 4 fighter hangers ore more with B-17s) however we would like anyone willing to learn bombing to join, so we can show you the secrets of bombing an enviorment that you would enjoy, flying the B-17G. So take a look:
OUR SQUADRON "THE REAL THING":
Our squadron is dedicated to all of the 100th BG (H) Bloody Hudnredth, B-17 Flying Fortress pilots who did the "dirty work" flying over the heart of Germany and destroying the factories, and munitions, with parralell percision. They accounted nearly 1400 lossess out of 3000 or more, but the majority of them hit their targets.
IN-GAME
We currently have eight dedicated members (as the squad was formed 2 weeks ago) and we fly the B-17, and only the B-17. We use real formations, and bombing tactics (such as path-finder, dropping on leaders command). On our usual sorties, we try to target Currently, we're thinking about signing up for Allies and Axis, however, the squadron needs to be trained with the old AH1 traditional bombsite, which I have finnaly figured out myself.
THE TRAINING
Every recruit WILL receive training wheather he's novice or pro (lesson's will varry on player's experience), and will learn basic formations, and the bombscope itself. When they have mastered that, they will learn the E6B, and its calculations, and advanced formations. Again, we don't care how old you are (even though most of the squad are adults) we just ask you to take this seriously. Now don't get me wrong its all about having fun and we have a lot of that throughout the squad (Talk to 100Dino ), but we fly training missions (don't worry its not boring) to keep our skills in top-shape. This will be done on saturday 4:00pm EASTERN, which is our annual training session. It's only to last for 1 hour but most of like to go on numerous runs after the training session.
BOMBING ALTITUDE & "LITTLE FRIENDS" (ESCORTS)
Our bombing altitude consists of anywhere from 10,000ft-30,000ft depending on the target. Our escort squadron is the 4thFG =Debden Boys=, and the LCA Renagades fly with us
COMMUNICATION/TEAMSPEAK
Although a lot of squads use teamspeak, we do not and we're just fine with the standard "T" transmitting. Our VOX is 282
SQUAD MEETS/ TIMES
Our squadron meetings/nights will take place on Tuesdays, and Thursdays at 9:00pm EASTERN. Our manditory training sessions take place on Saturday at 4:00pm EASTERN.
THINKING ABOUT JOINING?
We're looking for serious bomber pilots who are mature, and can fly under a somewhat dictatorship enviorment. As I said, we only fly the B-17 although most people will think this is silly and boring, we're learning to master that plane, and knowing all of its capibilites. Because a matter of fact, it is the overal best bomber in the game (in my opinion) Precision: can hit targets at 30,000ft using 6-8 sec. calibrations.
If your interested into joining please reply to this forum, so I can PM you back. We should have a working website soon. Hope all of this information was helpful in deciding to join our bomb group!
If you are already and a squadron, then feel free to join us, or you can just send a PM. We'd love to hook up with some more fighter groups/ or even bomber groups. Please keep in mind that we fly rooks
