Not sure about starting a squad, but I now The Blind Bats use the CVs alot, might be a squad for you to look into eventually

yea I'd look for one, VF-10 and VF-31 i think are Navy squads that i think are Rook. If you don't mind switching sides VF-17 is recruiting, F4U squad but  we fly all the blue planes.

Im not trying to be mean. But is this your first sim. If it is. Play it for 6 months to a year before thinking of starting a squad.

3 weeks. you havnt learned much.

Rat and VF31 is a great squad and fun to fly with(18+ tho)

VF10 is a great bunch also. I believe there newer to. There squad nights are on sunday so look at them.

Only 3 weeks of flying! You will be better off flying with another squad first for numerous reasons: You don't know how to judge a potential member, rank alone is not enough, You don't know tactics, you probably don't know SA, and you need to get your name known for better or worse. You can really gain a ton of knowledge from flying with an entrenched squad.

might want to talk to the CO's, if your respectful and not clogging the VOX up with constant chatter they might be cool with it. If you want I think I might be adding another member later today and wouldn't mind adding another. I know I have 1 guy under 18 maybe two, both are respectful to others and pretty cool cats so i have no problem with it.

VF-10 is a new squad, but it's full of guys that have years of experience in Aces High.  Pretty darn good group of sticks if you want to learn team flying.

Thanks RATTFINK/NEARY, and I am still looking to start one, I havent joined a squad or given up. :)
Also, if anyone is just looking for someone to fly with, Im always flying off a carrier, you can find me on Rooks attacking bases and defending our task groups! :P

I still recommend joining a squad with a sturdy foundation. You can learn alot from squadies, and it's fun logging on, and having some squaddies to talk to/fly with. The problem with starting a squad when you're new is nobody knows your name, or your rep so people aren't willing to follow. Also, there's nobody to serve as a mentor to you, or any squadies that may join your squad. So really you're cheating you and any potential squadies out of what I really enjoy most...squad affiliation with a group of guys you enjoy being around and whom you can trust to fly with.
