I am in if you guys want me in.  :aok

And Bug flies anything extremely well, atleast from what I've seen and experienced from him.. I still have a lot to learn to get where he is, that's for sure! I am sure Ranger knows his plane too, I've never fought him tho.. Not that I can recall anyway.  :salute

I went from 109's and went to the Corsair (still teach both).  The latter 109's are definitly a veterans plane to get the most out of it.  I'm still learning with the K4 myself and it's quirks :lol.

Glad to hear Grumpy, both are fun but busy planes to fly, either one is very rewarding.  If I made the game more fun for someone, then I did my job :aok

so just when the AVA is starting to come around, we need a group to pile-on and wreck it. very nice! lets undo what took Oldman, fork, fudgums, and jaeger over a year to accomplish!

You are wrong meou01.

What we are doing is trying to have a squad presence in AvA to bring in others. We deliberately chose Axis as it seems in most cases the majority prefer to fly allied.

We have also capped the squad at eight members despite the fact that we have more interested in joining.

Last night was our first squad night. We fielded 7 members. As Shifty said we divided the squad with 4 flying a fighter sweep and 3 flying a jabo mission, by the time we finished the jabo run, the numbers had evened up, and the 2nd sortie was a fighter sweep.

This is how we will likely continue to run our Wed squad nights, 2 squad missions and then free-play.

Everyone in the squad is or has been involved in building the arena in some fashion.

If you want to talk about what has been accomplished, we would all have to be included in that.

What is your in-game handle?

Were you even there last night?

You DO understand that these guys have been flying here the whole time, and just created a squad?

or are we still stuck?

During the half hour last night that we flew our 2 squad missions, it was our 8 Axis vs. 7 Allied, hardly arena destroying. :rolleyes:    We had 4 flying jabo while 4 covered.  To not cause too big a disturbance with the waawaas, we only bombed fuel at one base.  You poor thing. :(  Each Wednesday at 9pm EST we will be flying these squad ops for a bit before "free flight".  We invite allied-minded players to come in and oppose us.  Heck, if you guys freelancing in the AvA would get off yer butts & form your own squad with same squad nite & time, we could have us a frikkin blast!!  But no, it's easier to come here & cry about a few players who have formed a squad to fly 2 missions A WEEK!  Are you serious?!  Do you really have nothing else to gripe about or enjoy in the game?  Sorry griefers, but we plan on staying together & doing our Wednesday ops thing because we had an absolute blast & fly very well together. 

Nothing stopping any other player from starting an Allied squad to have just as much fun as we are.  Being in an AvA squad has no bearing on your MA squad.  So who's gonna man up & get the Allied ball rolling?

I did very little if anything that gave the recent success of the AvA, jimson deserves a huge amount of credit for pushing many ideas and such through.
