DD,

Please set VMF-251's dedicated ride to the F4U series, with a particular preference for the 1A.

This is a great idea. As CiC I have always given a squad their dedicated ride when I have had the chance to. In fact their was one time I gave our a ride because the squad's unit was represented in the skin selection.  P40E, with the 68th Lightning Lancers skin IIRC.

As a member of one of the smaller squads, is there any provision that those of us who field 7 pilots, for example, can be given the same consideration as those squads who field 20 pilots when it comes to preferred rides?

It seems that we seldom get to fly "blue" planes in FSO yet we see the same large squads flying the preferred ride for that particular event.  This is mearly a quesition and observation based on our history.

Our squad is not like some who, if they don't get the ride they want, they either fly the sortie in any manner the prefer and forget the flight plan or they simply don't show up. My squad is a great bunch of guys and we follow the rules of engagement even when we get stuck with the "box kites" some countries have. I'd just like some assurance that equal consideration is given to all squads not matter what size they field.

LOL Thanks Bug. :)

So...  I hope that allowing squads to declare this preference doesn't end up screwing over the squads who don't declare a preferred ride...  Sticking them in the sucky planes more often...
I don't see that PFactor. Besides most of the time squads preferred ride will not be available. They don't come around often. Some times the might even be on the opposite side.

lol BigRat. :)

fjaloma/Disco squad size has nothing to do with this. If you want a dedicated ride say so and I will list it. What the CiC does with this new list is up to them, but at least this information will be available to them.

yeah yeah, squad dedicated rides. what I want to know is can Malap and myself get Spit V dedicated rides? Regardless of theater, time frame, and side? :)

Like this Friday, I'm sure the US Navy had two Spit V (not Seafires!, Spit V!!!) somewhere in the fleet that could be assigned to Malap and myself.  :pray

and Daddog, not that us 332nd Mongrels are modeled directly after the historic 332nd Fighter Group, but they never flew P-38's off the top of my head. P-40's, P-47's and the famously red tailed P-51s, but not P-38's. Though we should request the P-51D once in awhile when available and fly with the 332nd FG skin. :)

Is this supposed to be for historically named squads, or just "We're the 666th Fighting Leprechauns and our favorite plane is the Spit 16 can we get it in FSO when it's available kplzthx"?
Just wondering.

That was my intention. For squads that have some historical background.

Am I going to check to make sure? Nope. If squads list a dedicated ride I am fine with that. I don't care what they call themselves.
