Returning after hiatus and looking for squad.
« on: October 08, 2011, 01:54:07 PM »
Hey all. Coming back after a year or so out of the cockpit. I've been looking through the squad recruiting announcements, but they all look so good. I figured I'd put myself out there and let you guys know what I'm looking for in a squad and find out what fits.

The reason I come back to Aces High is because of the persistent world. Other flight sims have better graphics, but Aces High has something that nobody else does right. That said, base capture is important to me. My favorite part of the game is running "Missions" and playing in FSO. I like the teamwork aspect. I like taking off from a field together in formation, climbing out to 10,000 feet, and let them know we're coming. I also like flying bomber escort. I get a rush staying high with my head on the swivel.

I'll be honest, I'm not a particularly good player, even moreso since I'm out of practice, but I try hard and I follow orders. Another thing I love about Aces High is that you can play support roles and still feel like a valuable part of the team. I prefer to fly fighters, the Spit VIII and P-51B are my rides of choice, but I'll do whatever the team needs at the moment... run troops, man a wirbel, whatever.

I'd really like a squad that's big enough for me to have a few wingmen online any night of the week. I've been in squads in the past that only logged in for FSO or squad night, and I didn't enjoy that as much. Most recently I was a member of the Airborne Kitchen Utensils, and I loved flying alongside them, but I moved halfway around the world and timezone issues made it impossible to keep in touch (this is why I stopped playing, because I lost a good squad).

If having a good wingman who cares about team play, has a good sense of humor, and believes in sportsmanlike conduct sounds like a match for your squad, message me privately, Hit me on vox in-game (vic) or reply to this thread.

Thanks!

LCA on Rooks are big on both base taking and FSO.

Search out HighTone or DakOne  :)

Thanks. I'm bish at the moment, and I'm one of those weird folks who likes to pick a side and stay on it, *but* I'd be willing to switch to find a good squad. I started out a knit and changed once to join AKU, so I can change again. I've never been a rook...  ;)

If you are looking for a good squad that runs all of what you are looking for here a good couple of squads I personally know about.

www.pigsonthewing.org (Pigs On The Wing) Free to do what you want and a good squad to be in.

www.68thlightninglancers.com (68th Lightning lancers) Also a good squad to be in, they fly FSO last I remember and they have a lot of talented sticks.

http://www.ahfreebirds.sitehermit.com/Recruitment.php (Freebirds) Great bunch of guys to fly Freepigs missions and they have a bunch of good guys that are easy to get along with.

Those are all knit squads and I know there are a lot of good squads based in other countries so have fun and hope to see ya in the skies of AH.

Look for me in knit land ingame LawnDart I would love to get you flying as a guest with the pigs.


and if you want to check out the other squads here...

TONGS!!

I was introducing a friend to the game tonight, and he was on knit and already flying around when I logged in, so I went knit and saw The old AKU guys landing kills. I wanted to bail on my buddy and join you! But I refrained...

Thanks to everyone for their input. I have a nice handful of squads to check out and see where I fit... The downside is that I suck even worse than I remember, so hopefully someone will take me as a lump of clay and mold me into something reasonable... :)

vic,

I believe the BOPs (Birs of Prey) are reforming. Definitely a bunch worth checking out, although I can't say who the CO is now.

The Jokers Jokers always have a few guys on their vox, along with others who like to fly along with them (vox 125). They may be worth checking out, too.

Thanks. J0ker's Jokers are who I sort of "unofficially" hung out with when I last played, but never bothered to ask about getting on board officially. They were always on when I lived overseas, and I'd just kind of .goto them and tag along. I hadn't seen them on as much when I moved here, so I didn't consider them.
