I did not put this in the squadrons area because most of the post is centered around discussion, so here it is:
Howdy all, I have been away from a squadron for awhile and I have been just nosing around a little and enjoying doing my own thing, but I have gotten to where that is not really getting it for me. I miss the days of flying with wingmen and flights and pulling missions... That means with folks that fly similarly, with the same basic ideas of how to tackle things and look out for each other.
So... With that being said I have a few observations and a request. Bear in mind I only fly Rook, or have only flown Rook so that is of course where my observations come from.
OBSERVATIONS:
1. Squadrons seem to be on the decline. In the Rook country we used to see LCA, Righteous Vengeance, the Lynchmob and others constantly operate together and sometimes with one another and this seem to be on the decline. I have not seen a squadron operation in awhile...
2. I have not seen squadrons operate in flight strength or broadcast so that others could tag along. This is great for recruiting purposes as well as rounding out a smaller operation with more folks who can build a relationship with the squadron.
3. Squadrons do not seem to be actively recruiting on country channel. I have not seen “such and such squadron recruiting” more than a few times over the last few months.
REQUEST:
I would like to travel around some and work with some different squadrons around the game – just getting to know other people and have some fun.
I would like to hook up with a few squadrons around the game for some sorties and see how other folks do it and get to know some more of the community. At this point I am even strongly considering leaving Rookland for a mini world tour if anyone would be interested in having me fly with their group. I do not really do BUFFs, but other than that give me a shout anytime.
I am right now unsure as to if I want to continue to fly alone or join a squadron or even get together with a few other people that have asked me to organize a squadron. I just know that I look at combat as a team sport, and I feel like I am missing something.

-Our group does operate well together and with Bishland in general. However, flying bombers in their respective, traditional roll is something one must have patience for.
-We used to actively recruit on country channel, but not so much anymore as we are of a respectable size.
-As far as flight strength, we definitely do that. We have had lots of volunteer support from other fighter groups/squads/individuals as well.
We got our start in May of this year, and I'm happy with how we've grown. At first, I really had my doubts that there were very many folks interested in joining a B17 bomb group. It's cool to know that this style of gameplay still has its place here.

Paladin,
From my experience in AH, if you want different squadrons that work together you should fly Bish. Its not uncommon for Thndreggs 91st BG to be escorted by BoPs, Midwest Mafia, or TFC. Also in many occasions I have seen BoPs, Swapdraggons, Rolling Thunder, and the Jokers Jokers work together to accomplish a goal.
-
Interesting. I mean I have seen squads that work together, and I have seen hordes... I think there is a difference. For those that may be scratching their heads: a horde is a mission posted that people jump in on and they rush a base together but without really flying wingman tactics or flight and squadron tactics, and tend to be a bunch of individuals that show up at the same time... A squadron operation tends to get in together and come out together, sticking with wingmen and coordinating much better. They both have their place in the game without a doubt, but I just had allot more fun flying as part of a group that was tighter and worked together, flying the same craft and load outs to accomplish something together.
-
Paladin I have always enjoyed winging with you sir. If I am on send me a pm I will up the p-51 with you any day. Also let me know if you decide to do a squad I am not around much anymore but would love to fly with it.
-
I think that this goes back to your perception of what a squad really is. All I can say is that 71 Squadron (which I am a part of) is all about who we are...not about what we do. We normally have a bunch of guys on during prime time and always have something interesting happening. We have plenty of folks who view us as there 2nd home so while we have a roster of 60+ and a core group of 30+ that are very active we also have revolving group of visitors who know they will always be welcome to hang around whenever they feel the urge.

you must not have encounted JG11 on our squad night then :airplane:

I'm in the same boat as you I guess. When I first joined a squad 8 of us would take off together.Same loadout and plane. Always enjoyed doing that afew times a night before it was free time. Looking to wing up for fighter sweeps any country. On one condition,no hoarding. Also if theres one con let 1 or 2 guys take care of it.Not all 8 of us gang. :salute

Most of theses squads mentioned. Have enough squadmates to do their own thing. Anything else is just hoarding totally different thing. IMO

well,
the thing is, most squadron doesnt have a pure focus what to go for, there are alot of sqn doing all stuff. and there are other which are focused on one thing, bomber squadron, fighter squadrons
If there isnt a focus, you have that bunch of induviduals, coming in as a group. I came over from Warbirds once, the whole squadron, the parrots changed over to here. we changed with 24 pilots. AH offers a lot more opportunities to play. while the parrots got no real focus what they wanted to go for, the whole squadron broke into pieces. I left, because i hate Tank driving, i dont like being a ship gunner. Bombing is also not my gameplay. Leaving was not an easy step, knowing lot of pilots in RL, but there was only, leaving the squad or leave the whole game!
So i founded the Loose Deuce just one a year ago to start a squadron, where ppl fly together, flying as wings, using brevity codes, doing fighter ops
I recruited nearly 30 pilots in 12 month, using the squadron forum, but most time i took a look how ppl react on the same side, or also on different sides. I looked at score, and what people preffer to do. So recruiting works only with priv CH instead of flooding the buffer like calling for a mission. Thats the reason why you dont see too much recruiting online. it works with priv CH
So all i can say, if you want to start a squadron, it helps a lot having a clear focus. Its sounds to me you would like to have a sqn which plays alltime together, therefore it helpfull to setup some rules, a vox(TS) etiquette etc
afterwards, a squadron is a living thing, ppl changes, things happend, people leaving. So its a lot of Fun to organise. Its work, but great fun.
<S>
happy holidays ( i wish all a merry Christmas too, but i learned to be political correct in that case)

Dhryan I completely agree with what you said. I used to be dead set against leaving Rook but at this point I just want to see whats out there.
As far as focus I mean focused on an objective, in RV we used to say ok we are going to go after such and such target. We might call out and say we need 3 BUFF pilots for B17s. We need 6 escorts. Who wants what? And then load them all up the same, and call it off the same to minimize confusion. For example, I usually ran the escort and would go around the hanger fuel, first hardpoint to last from left to right, and then skin. Saying A52 P51D 75%, Six Rockets, Two One Thousand Pound Bombs, 353rd Blue Nose skin, SW runway gets everyone together and less headache and gets everyone up and organized quick...
Doing that allows pilots to better coordinate, they will have the same capabilities and you do not wind up having a slower guy dragging everyone else down, or a turner getting into a fight that another plane set may have trouble supporting, and you run out of fuel and RTB together... It was just fun. I know there are other ways to do things, and I want to see how those squadrons operate and then decide what I want to jump into.
Dhryan I may add you guys to my list of folks to track down and fly with if that is ok.
-
If you really want to get a feel for the game simply fly on the low number side. You'll meet many more folks and make many more friends.

This seems counter-intuitive. Unless you mean "kill" instead of "meet." And "kills" instead of "friends."
Just kidding, Shuffler. A don't-quit-my-day-job attempt at humor.

I do not really do BUFFs, but other than that give me a shout anytime.
Well, the SAPP was recruiting, but you are out now :(

:salute Paladin.
You are more than welcome to come fly with us ( the A8's) anytime sir. Our squad nights are typically Saturday nights @ 9pm EST. We only fly Rooks as of right now. Look for me, A8Chustr or our CO A8Balls or any of the A8's for that matter in the LW arenas and hook up with us. We are presently rebuilding our squad strength and looking to do some recruiting. We are not a "task specific" squad like some. We do it all. Gv, buff, base takes and fighter sweeps. Basically we do what everyone in the squad feels like doing that night. Feel free to contact us and/or check out our web site at www.a8s.us. That goes for anyone. We do have a basic criteria that we tend to stick to as far as recruiting goes, ie; minimum age requirement and the like. That should all be explained on the site as well.
:salute :cheers: Happy holidays everyone.
A8Chustr

The A8's are are a bunch of good guys I remember when I had A8 in front of my name lol.. Also I thought Balls was to busy smoking new recruits to be around. <S>

The A8's are are a bunch of good guys I miss linking up with them. Also I thought Balls was to busy smoking new recruits to be around. <S>
:salute Hey there cajun. Whenever your in Rookland look us up bro. Been a while Sir. :salute
Not sure about the "... I thought Balls was to busy smoking new recruits to be around." comment meant, but he's back as CO and firing up the ranks.

I just thought he had to cancel his account b/c he was going back to the service as a D.I. I am glad to see he is able to still be on miss flying with him. Ya'll still on the old vox?
-
Oh, lol.... yeah still on the old VOX. He is back in the service now. He gets to get on and play pretty much every weekend. Don't think he canceled his acc, just took a short hiatus until things got settled.
-
Good deal I will definately have to link up with ya'll. I mainly just do fighters now. I found I have more fun not worrying about score or win the war, however I still like to help take a base every now and then.

Fly with the 91st as an escort on their squad night...it's an absolute blast! If a con gets by you and the other escorts, you just get to see them get blown out of the sky by the 91st's tight knit formation!
-
The 125th Spartans is currently on Rook Tour (to the end of the month). Feel free to look us up as well. We aren't a very big squad, but do our best to at least appear to be organized. ;)
In reference to your comment about squads not actively recruiting anymore, I would say it is simply a matter of style. The unfortunate fact is that when someone spams country channel with "Please, someone join my squad!" or some variation, it is a turn-off to many of the older players. Whether fair or not, it appears to be two-weeker over-enthusiasm. Most of the more estalished squadrons I've witnessed do their recruiting on range channel after they perceive some quality in the "unassociated" flyer that they like.
You are going about this the right way, though. Play the field a bit and find where you feel at home. :aok
-
Starting after Christmas I am going to start running around checking on the folks that have spoken up, flying with the different groups. I think I will move that part of the thread to squadrons though, and post over there... I appriciate everyone's input. It must be mostly Rookland that is slacking some, and I love the community so even flying for awhile on another team will be rough. I will see what everyone has to offer and then probably decide eventually on joining or organizing a squadron. Thanks to everyone for your replies, and Cajun of course I will wing with you anytime sir!
:salute
Merry Christmas all!

Hey Paladin, <S> bro. The SW's are a great bunch of guys to fly with. I can't wait for them to come back to Bish so I don't have to worry as much :uhoh
-
When I did my squadron rotation, it really opened my eyes to different styles of gameplay. Without exception, every single squadron I visited was gracious and the cohesiveness within the squadron was readily apparent. Some squads based themselves on unit tactics, some on a particular style of gameplay, and one squadron was a strict Luftwaffe group, and some did whatever they felt like at the moment.
I wish I had time to continue the squadron rotation, I just can't do it while spending time in the TA and remain happily married. I'd really like to see someone who has been here a few years with a little bit of writing ability restart it, I think it added a lot to the game.
Back to the topic on hand, I don't feel squadrons are on the decline, but some are a bit less active than they used to be. It is the ebb and flow, eventually all groups see a decline in their lifetime.
-
If you get over to the Knights, Look Precision up. We just do our own thing most of the time, But missions, happen usually 2-3 times a day. Then we get together, other then that we cant be everywhere philosophy is the norm. Were on vox 144, when you get over.
:cheers: :salute

+1. This time of year we usually always see a decline in squad roster. My job gets crazy this time of year and by mid jan, we usually start filling back upthe roster. Lynchmob welcomes anyone to fly along with us as it was a blast winging with you Paladine :aok. I hope you stick around in rookland cuz I sincerly hate being on the other side of your guns :salute
-
Maybe it is a seasonal thing, but it started back over summer. People told me that it would pick up in winter, but it didn't. I know it is an ebb and flow, and I think it is just in a down period at the moment.
Delirum what do you mean by a squadron rotation? Did you guest fly with different squadrons and then write up a report on what was done and such?
<S> Dunnrite! Yeah I have ran into some of the SW's and they are some good sticks and I hope to wing up with them officially sometime along the way. Good to hear from you sir, hope you had a Merry Christmas!
Thunderegg, I just do not know what to say to that... Maybe I will not visit your all's O'club :)
:salute all
-

Yep, they are still in the Squadron forum section of this BBS if you're interested in reading them. B4Buster took over it for a time until he returned to the Flying Circus as well.
-
Paladin3 talk to any of the 2A members. Most of us are nice guys, I am the exception to that rule. Our primary bird is the Hog, but we will fly what it takes. Our original idea was to have our flight leaders branch out and start their own squads, but that has not happened Come on over and talk to us. Our website is 2D`amendement.com, Take a look at it and get with one of us. All of our names are 2Asomethingorother. Look forward to seeing you.

You can put us on the list if you are above 21 and if you have a focus on pure fighter engagements. We LD don't take bases, and a KD of 2 and more is nessasary
:salute
-
I'm l-o-n-g past 21 and can't take a base but my last K/D tour score was over 2 - my word, I qualify for Loose Deuce membership!
But then who'd drink all the Duxford Wing's scotch?
;)
-
You all have scotch? When can I hang out with you all?
-
This seems counter-intuitive. Unless you mean "kill" instead of "meet." And "kills" instead of "friends."

:lol does sound backwards when you think about it though.

dhyran you have 6 pilots with a KD < 2 and a couple are just scraping through ;)
-
I have to say I support Paladin3 in his "quest" for a good squad or to start one.
I'm not as know out there, but maybe the in game name "Ghostie" rings a bell. I always tag along with Paladin when when he is on.
There are several reasons for that:
1. He is a great friend, he got me into this.
2. He has taught me allot and still is.
3. His in game goals intrest me: Keeping the game as real as possible in all ways.
4. You don't see many of players out there who give up their possible kill to clear your 6.
5. Tactics and strategies are keys
6. Much more...
(correct me If I'm giving a wrong point here Paladin :))
It would be fun if squads gave a yell before they did something, and I don't mean missions alone.
Ex. Organise a fighter sweep or for a bombersquad to call for some escorts.
Like mentioned before, some squads could be an addition to another but it has to be know that it is possible. So give a yell when you are planning something.
If you see 2 Rook Pony's linked up, it could be Paladin3 and Ghostie.
Hope to see you in the sky.

squadrons are about friends, commitment, loyalty. To have a group of people to have FUN with and share the good times.
squadrons do not find you and you shouldn't need a squadron for the sake of having one. These friendships are built up over time and acceptance should be earn't and not given away cheaply.
Helping, training, learning new skills comes as part of that. Why should squads try and get others involved? Hordes can get pretty bad as it is. Have you tried running missions fighters or bombers? it can be quite tedious after awhile. Why would you want random people messing up well laid plans.
who cares about base x,y,z chill brother :)
"We few, we happy few, we band of brothers; For he to-day that sheds his blood with me shall be my brother"
good squads start from the bottom and are built all the way up to the top like a brick wall. If your foundations are poor it will crumble.
-

You can't find the squad that fits you if you don't get the chance to fly with them...
I'm not saying there should be a MASS invite. I think only the intrested people will show up anyway...
Like I said, it does not have to be a posted mission...
-
well you talk to them. Observe who does what and whether that fits into your gameplay enjoyment.
The goto function from the roster can take you to what base they are using and .wingman name will highlight them on the map. (a little stalkerish)
Make yourself useful and impress upon the extremely good looking CO and you will get vox channel invites and then maybe more.
-
and dont forget Buv "starts from the bottom....... " :neener:
-
ya know....I'd be flying with The Few if they didn't use the most god awful vox app in the history of vox apps.
-
ventrilo is the best hands down!! you can always use in game channel....was skype not modelled on it?
-
dhyran you have 6 pilots with a KD < 2 and a couple are just scraping through ;)
cc guys trying some different new stuff, we don't fly all time spit16 :D
well, new LD Pilots must have a KD of 2, its just to make sure, that the difference of personal skill level gets not to big
-
<S> Dunnrite! Yeah I have ran into some of the SW's and they are some good sticks and I hope to wing up with them officially sometime along the way. Good to hear from you sir, hope you had a Merry Christmas!
Paladin, If your on after 10 PM EST on Saturday's, look us up. Saturday is squad night and you are welcome to wing with us.
:airplane:

Come fly with us some night around 9pm-10pm ish ET Rook vox 165 (Nightmares)

Very true indeed! :aok
-
If your looking to join a squad, don't accept the first offer from anyone. It is a good idea to tag along with the squad awhile to make sure it is a good fit for what you want out of the game. It also gives the squad time to see if your a good fit for the squad.
As Bruv said, "it is all about friends".
-
The squad will find you.
-

The trouble with using the in game channel is no other bugger from The Few uses it, so you end up noticing HUGE silences where it looks like nothings going on but in fact there's all kindsa vox chatter going on on vent instead. I tried vent, but without an in game cue to say who's transmitting (like you get with in game vox) it's absolutely murder, especially when we all sound alike.
Why is it you guys use ventrilo anyway?

voice clarity. You don't need to see who is talking because you can tell after a little while. I hasten to add that we all sound very different! I mean come on Connery sounds like fat barsteward. Kazaa sounds like a burberry chav on his moped and I get accused of being Australian by some americans :rolleyes:.

Hey Simba,
Duxies are a great sqn. When you guys go for a Buff Sortie, just let me know whenever you need cover

I have to say there has been great input here. I am not joining any squadron right off the bat, I feel bad turning down offers, but man it is fun travelling a little and seeing how other groups operate! Meeting some fantastic folks too! I am currently in the process of working my way around. If you guys happen to see me on and are doing ops, give me a shout. I appologize to the two groups I have had to beg off on while flying with another one. Let me know next time!
Dragon... Which squadron are you with sir? I will try to find you all tomorrow night if I am home, which I may well be.
-
Paladin! <S> Sir. How ya been.
After reading this post, i might have one of the answers you have been looking for. I know exactly what you are looking for, and you know i wouldn't join a squadron which doesn't run how we like to operate.
The 82nd FG "Adorimini"
I invite you to look at the site, register on the forums and browse all you want.
Now i would explain what the 82nd is and everything but i mean we have a kickass AHwiki page so why bother? I guarantee you won't be unsatisfied.
http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/wiki/index.php/82nd_FG_%22Adorimini%22
Also, 82nd is divided into 4 Flights. Red, Blue, Yellow and Purple of course.
Pal, 82nd is like, if not, better than how RV used to run things. We are Tactical, Disciplined, and Professional squadron, everything you would expect. Formation Flying is a given. Formation Take-off is also, a given. Even formation landing. We take off in Flights, We kill in Flights, We come back in Flights. We do everything from Bomber escort of the 91st (thunderegg) to GV killing and everything in between. We do FSO every month and have a blast. We are in the AHXARL (air racing). We do AVA on occasion. Right now i believe we are 17 active members strong. We are a proud squadron that every member has a personalized Sig and optional P-38 Avatar.
Now, i know your thinking, "P-38? i'm not flying that" lol. We aren't strictly P-38 all the time 24/7 but that is our plane of choice. I used to hate the 38 but after a couple of months in the DA with Schwalbe (CO) i've learned to love the 38.
Also please check out the recruitment video. Well that seems like enough for one post lol. Any other questions or concerns don't hesitate to pm me. <S>!
-
If you join the 82nd, never fly in front of Jappa with killshooter disabled.
(I'm still looking for Jappa for that event) :t
-
Paladin,
I'll just add that our squad, CMC aka Cutthroats (8=X) has been together since 1996 in Air Warrior. We fly ROOK only. Lot's of pilots and engineers, folks who do it for the fun. MiG is the CO, a private pilot and Boeing Engineer, CapnMike-international pilot 767, Trapp-OBGYN but CapnMikes brother... :) Chance, CapnMikes uncle- and former Vaught (Corsair) employee, Yippee38-Commercial Pilot..(inactive AH at the moment)....they have skills. :)
Small squad, we can't hoard much, but we do like a defensive posture, or a bomber mission, fighter sweeps...and formation stuff. Low numbers usually: Squad night is Wed, 10PM EST - 12AM. Last week 3 of us, usually 5 is a great turnout. We are always in LW Blue since others fill quickly. May not be for you, but it's there if you want to hang out.
Screenie:
MiG in lead, left A51 (Area51), right side CapnMike, and me trailing. :joystick: It was a squad attack run that is still fun, in my mind.

I'd settle for a Rook squad that has a good number of ACTIVE members. I like to work together anytime I fly, and that's best with squaddies. Of course, I also like to see squad night(s) with an expectation of participation from the squad, so we have the best numbers on those nights.
Any squads out there that has these qualities?

Squads will most certainly come and go, like Del said, at some point you'll see declines in the squad's activity. Bruv pointed out the most important thing, it's about friendship IMO. I have some guys in Most Wanted that I have flown with since I started in '97, and some guys that has just within last few years. The friendship we have started in the game, has went beyond AH and worked into RL. We look out for each other, care for each others' families, and try and meet at least once a year. For us its not flying in formation, taking bases, or even killing together that we like; its all the banter on vox, and the fun we make of other squaddies. :)

Hello all, I appriciate the responses. I have been gone for awhile due to my final semester of college taking its toll. I just wanted to post and say hello, and that I have read responses and am still alive and kicking.
