*A sarcastic comment originating when Wübke was ordered to fly Jabo missions during the Battle of Britain. The inscription was found on the sides of boxcars carrying bombs. Wübke felt bombs should be delivered by rail cars and bombers and not by fighters.
Wübke used this inscription throughout the war. JV44 Wurger-Staffel needs two pilots. After talking it over we have decided to expand our roster to 6. Historically there were 6 pilots attached to JV44 Wurger-Staffel but only 4 doras. With the expected growth of the number of people in the main we feel expansion is right at this time.
The need for wingmen and rotte tactics grows with larger main numbers. RL at times dictates that somedays one of us end up flying alone. That is why we have decided to expand. All of us are in the US but scattered.
Wotan and ErlKonig are east coast
Bradys5 is west coast
JV44AG1 is somewhere in the middle
Individual pilot skill can be developed but we are looking for people who understand the "team" concept. We rely on each other quite a bit.
We are currently the number 1 ranked squad in AH. We take pride in this. We know we may not be the best individually but together we work hard. We jabo... We buff... We goon... We roll the gvs when needed......
Our plane of choice is the fw190-d9 but we fly the entire lw planeset. We also fly the Zeke and the italian 205. Our plane choice for jabo is the fw190-f8 or the fw190-a8.
All pilots will be on a short evaluation period prior to being excepted. The only reason for this is to be able judge how we will interact with each other.
If you are interested please email me
