If you want want one thats exclusivly or even predominatly Aussie, I fear you may find yourself disapointed. But thats coming from a Wermacht dweeb, and I'm not likely to be familiar with all the allied squadrons.

Perdweebs probably gonna chew me out for this when he sees, buuuut..... try talking with "The Few". They're mostly spit-dweebs, if you're interested in flying allied (actually, Brittish would probably be a better description) rides.

If you're interested in Axis rides, look for the Army of Muppets, they're probablty the top Axis squad in the game, and currently have the best 262 pilot.

Hope to see you in the cartoon skys, Herr Macka :salute.

Muppets arent recruiting the same way as other squads do : )

Post by: des506 on August 25, 2011, 07:41:43 AM: mate... your best bet would be to look for a raw prawnie, and ask if the barby's on... they might shout you lunch if you're experienced enough... maybe in in the meantime before that happens... get up there and start fishing! :salute

Post by: Macka- on August 25, 2011, 07:52:07 AM: Thanks to all for advice. I need a bit of TLC before I can fly online. Is Teamspeak used a lot by Squads, or is there an in-game voice coms?

Title: Re: Newbie seeking Aussie Squadron
Post by: coombz on August 25, 2011, 07:56:55 AM: There are in game voice comms, and some squads also use 3rd party progs like TS, Vent, etc

Rumor is Muppets aren't as much a squad as they are more like a fraternity with secret handshakes and admission rituals ..... Something about juggler riding a pink spitfire or something :D or they are just simply an invite only, elitist, snobby, fighter jock association, that looks down their noses at everyone else. :bolt:

:rofl i was dang close to be a muppet. Yup, that description fits for me perfectly : )
Btw, Macka, the TS/Ventrillo is used by many squads. Much better than the built-in vox.

Lol, snobby hardly fits. They're all good guys, won't rub a kill in your face and will return a salute even if they just got ganged.

"Rumor is"

I like most of these guys even juggler when he gets mad. Grizz and Kappa in their 109s on the other hand .. :furious j/k

Post by: SD67 on August 26, 2011, 05:20:36 AM: 9GIAP is heavily weighted with Aussies as well, though we are more of an FSO squad we have been known to haunt the MA's from time to time.

LOL Always loved the allstate commercials, better then anything Geico ever put out. Gotta hand it to Dean Winters whose a pretty good actor.
