Few squads in Aces High are true to their name. I was computing the stats of September for our pilots, and thought I would share them with you guys. I'm proud to be part of this squad where all pilots always stayed dedicated to their squad name and aircraft for more than a year.
56th.:cool:
Other squads true to your name, stand out from the crowd, bring on your complete squad pilot stats!:D

Ok, how about the Original Flying Tigers squadron, shows a total of 1,917 fighter/attack sorties flown with 1,719 kills scored and the squadron stats in the P40B/E are 0 kills and 2 deaths. :p
Lonz ;)

It's not really a question of K/D, it's more a matter of ALL the squad pilots flying their advertized plane more than 80% of the time.
I always feel sad to see (example) the JG xx flying Spits and LA7s mostly. I checked our Brazilian friends stats in the P47, only 3-5 of them have some stats in the P47, the rest is goofing around in other planes.
The K/D ratio is of no importance there. LW squads flying the D9, or P51 squads will always have better K/D ratio than a Zero squad or TA152 squad. Being able to escape, helps surviving in the MA environment.
my 2cts :D

Livestock Liberation Front. We've always stayed true to our one cause, to liberate and treat hurt sheep from the Bishops and Rooks. This is our one cause, and if I die, knowing that I have saved one, just ONE hurt and lonely bish sheep, I will die a happy man.

I stayed drunk most of the month, and I'm always a bastard. Still working on the fat part.

Marine Air Wing....
well we do fly Hogs- B-25's(err B-17s') and Hellcats.....MArines flew p-38's and 109's right?..and Niks and p-51's??
heheheh
Love BiGB
xoxoxo
I feel sorry for any 1 stuck in one plane.....But i do understand the Sticking with your Squad and Counrty you represent....
Thank god we arent an Itlalian squad.....
No disrespect to the Italins themselves(I own a Tony KArt)....Nice job Mussolinni

When my squadron The Cactus Air Force was formed back in 1994, No body flew one particular type of plane. The Real Cactus Air Force, didnt either. They were a mismatch group forced together at Hendersond field. This was why the name CAF was choosen.
So, In that tradition of flying the varied aircraft availble. We do pretty well. ;)
Interesting thread :)
-
When I first came to AH I joined the first squad that replied to me. I did this because flying alone is no fun. The Arctic Storm is a historical squad and I believe they flew p40's and p38's, i'll have to check. I never thought of it really till this post. I think it's a good idea. I'll look up the planes. I'll fly em :)
-
flew jg54 and flew LW only for over a year. Was good but it drives you nuts.I started to hate flying when i only flew LW.I think if it was TOD then sticking to historical planes is fine, but to fly one type for all time will just make you mad I garentee it.
80% is good though wtg frenchy
-
Though new to this sim,,You can expect to see 367th FG in P-47s and P-38s on jabo attacks,,as did the WW2 squad
We have had contact with one of the real pilots of "Dynamite Gang",,,,he made it a point to remind us what we should be flying :)
When doin Sweeps or Escort duty we grab anything,but try to stick with USAF/USN/RAF planes
Peace
Cooley
XO 367th FG "Dynamite Gang"

Not up to 56th standards, but it was fun :)
121 kills and has been killed 36 times in the P- 47D-11.
132 kills and has been killed 41 times in the P-47- D25.
65 kills and has been killed 29 times in the P-47- D30.

That LA7 squad should step up.
I personally switch planes *every time* I hit the fly button. You won't recognise me when I'll come back for revenge :D
-
Our squad is based on an RCAF one who traditionally flew P51's, Spitfires and Hurricanes. We do fly a lot of those, but our belief is that we pay for all the planes, so might as well use them.

Frenchy,
never understood the people that choose historical squads (names) and fly just what dweebiest plane is available. La7s landing kills for LW squads really annoy me!
I chose 9./JG54. We had/have a strict LW only rule - our squad was based on that - and we lost some good buddies along the way due to that. I chose the restriction myself. Sometimes it's hard because LW lacks in so many fields in AH. We don't have a Jabo comparable to a Tiffy or a P47 and we have nothing close to a heavy bomber. My record is more or less clean - Zekes off the CV, a Macchi from time to time (to have fun)... but you'll find me 98% in a 190!
I don't mind my non-JG54 buddies flying whatever plane they like - I might mock them on voice but its their choice. Everyone fly what they want but it makes no sense to choose a historical squad name then!
-
I'm sorry but all respect for the 56th went out the window when you guys started flying Niki's :D
-
just a clarification... our members can fly whatever planes they want in the MA when they are on their own. when we have a few guys online though, we always link up and fly jugs... except for the other day when we were flying temps and spit 14s :D gotta spend the perks on something until we get our P-47M. ;)
-
Well... here is our shot at being a true historical squadron on current tour (32).
Lentolaivue 34,
Bf 109G-2
K/D: 2,5 (235/95)
Bf 109G-6
K/D: 8,1 (138/17)
total:
K/D: 3,3 (373/112)
... it is a tough job though, since the REAL LeLv34 had a K/D of 19,2 (345/18) :)
-
We don'tfly P47 only off course, we need some "sanity break". Heck the other day I took a FW-D9 up and landed 16 kills ... and you know what? I had the best time of my life! Starting a climb and say "wooW" ... diving away and shooting "so long sucka!(TM)" ... Or outturning spitfires in FM2.
Every plane is a joy in AH and it's a waste not to enjoy them... but Kirin got the idea. It sadden me to repeatidly read "irrelevant" kill messages, or worse, squads who predent being historical and when u check their stats, only the CO and XO fly their historical planes.
In the same line of thoughts, when I read :
"AGalant landed 4 kills in a LA7 from jgxx"
or
"Gabreski landed 7 kills in N1K1 from %$==56thFG==$%"
it makes me shake my head.
That's why I give an extra "wow" to squads where ALL pilots still manage to focus on their historical planes. :cool: It doesn't make me disrespect the rest of the crowd (to set the record straigh) but true historical squad pilots have my consideration.
-
WTG on the Dora Frenchy :)
-
Thanks Frenchy, got me all up public on the board with my sorry prettythang 0.7 / 5 kills.;)
-
:D
-
I remember a few tours back checking Gabreskis stats and seeing that he finished the tour with around 1500 kills, about 30 were in P-47's the rest were in Ponies with a fair amount in Niki's La7's etc... It just don't seam right to use that name and fly Nikis.
My 2 cents worth,
Avid
-
One thing Frenchy forgot to mention was that we have a strict hazing policy for 56th pilots that have the audacity to fly one of the uber dweeb rides. For instance one night Pollock decided to hop into a Niki. Although it was quite entertaining to watch him HO guys from 1000 yards out, he woke up to the following image in his mailbox:D :D :D

Not in a squad but here's my p47 stats
11.0 / KD 53/5 (D11) 2/0 (D30)
not too shabby especially flying rook (you bishtard's have weighted stats )
:)
my g10 stats are 35/1 :D
just goes to show plane does matter.. in the LA7 dweebery arena
I happy you brought this up 56th I laugh at the dweebyness of the supposed good pilots for Luftwaffe or US squads landing la7 and typhoon kills every other sortie.
When you look at the stats of these score potatos on the top 100 most of them got freaking shipgunner kills and other dweebery padding their stats.
Salute to the 56th (p47's) and the 13th Tas for their mustang loyalty.
Even though like I said earlier you bish tards have weighted stats. Good thing there is no attrition model in this game Bish would bankrupt their country on the 15th of every month.
:rolleyes:

Waaaaaaaaaah!! i fly for rooks so my stats are worth twice as much as bish or knit. :rolleyes:
lol what BS.

Avid, thats a nasty thing you posted there buddy:) I almost threw my Clam Chowda up.
-
Clam Chowda!!!! OB would be so proud to know you were snacking on that.....How's da Chowda Bobby :-))
Avid
P.S. Speaking of OB I haven't razzed him yet about the Bolts beating up on his Pats lats weekend. MUAHAHAHAHA!!!!

I fly like a bad dream.

One of the best things about the Flying Mongrels squad. Fly what you want when you want but have doing it. We have em all, Spitballers , Luftwaffles ,Runstangs.

You would get a kick out of his real name, lol.

I can't get stats to come up for 3./JG 2 "Richthofen" (I am sure it is because of spelling or some such)
-
From what I read the 11th only flew p40's through the whole war:(
-
Whenever I fly the F4U; my squad's "historical" ride, the opposing forces keep trying to give me medals.
If I were in WWII I'm sure I'd be the most highly decorated Japanese pilot in the U. S. Navy :p
-
Turbot, do like this: Go to scores on the HTC webpage, then push SQUAD RANKS. 3/Jg2 is second place overall rankings, can access the squad scores from there.
-
Also notice that Livestock Liberation Front is 3:d in Fighter Ranks :D
-
Is turning your engine off in the middle of a fight Historical?
-
Yeah, what's up with that? I never realized people were doing it, but I ear a lot talk about it those days:confused:
Anyway, still killing them in the end :p
-
our squad is a bunch of mutts
we fly everything but fly p38 and 262 quite a bit too since they have 2 engines :)
Ive found the more planes you play with in this game the more fun the game is
-
Sunking,
I think our "332nd" is a Tuskeege group, though "Flying Mongrels" is just invented (but represents our motely crew well.) If we are talking Tuskeege though, it was a good time for me to start flying the P-51B last month. I'm pleased enough with my P-51B stats to post here: 57kills/22deaths.

Frenchy
Calling yourself a true historical squad is kind of silly. Or true doenst mean the same thing in french. :)
you guys fly jugs and that cool. It adds to your fun and thats cool.
But that is so far from being a TRUE historical squad that it defies description.
Be proud of yourself if you like, enjoy your self and fill your boots. But there isnt a shred more truth in your squad then any other.
A true historical squad would be randomly assigned an aircraft to fly and a field to fly from and a mission to achieve and would have to achieve it. You would be randomly assigned a leader from the other players and if you didnt do what he said or keep him happy he would put you on latrines for a week.
There is nothing remotly true about any squad in this game.
-
pongo--
you may define "historical" any way you like, that is your perogetive.
What we are trying to achieve for our own satifaction is fly the P-47 in the spirit of the original 56 FG. We are not trying to impress anyone, just have fun doing it.
-
Sorry ammo. I must have been reading a different thread..
lol
-
Is this my old Beta friend "Pongo" who used to terrorize the neighborhood in a Corsair?
Geez, what happened to you? You used to be a nice guy and far from the free flaming attitude you just displayed. Give me my Pongo back! Exooooorcist!!!

sorry if you feel you have to be the best. Or any disagreement with you makes me a bad person.
I will reply to all 56th posts in the future with..
"Yes the 56th rules"
that ok then?
yeesh
-
Nothing wrong with a little chest-thumping now and again. The 56th does an extraordinary job flying the P-47 in a Main Arena filled with planes that do just about everything better than their ride of choice. Am I impressed by them? Hell yes, but I've always been. They are very good pilots, and good people too.
-
Did I mention we really like to shoot chutes?

In order for it to be chest thumping, you must subscribe to the idea that flying the historical plane of a namesake squadron is the goal of flying AH. You do not seem to subscribe to that idea, so I don't see what knotted your shorts.
Frenchy wants to know what other squads are like minded. but you just want to be the tear in their condom.
Good job

Pongo - You obviously haven't flown with Ammo as the flight lead :-)) But seriously, I think the thread was about staying true to the plane type of the squad you chose to fly with, assuming that squad is a historical squad. It doesn't make any of us better pilots then anyone else, even in our ride of choice. Hell I had TracerX had me my prettythang in a jug once and that is my ride of choice. There is a certain amount of respect from me for pilots that fly the ride of there historic squad. I think in our case it has forced many of us 56th guys to learn how to fly well as a group due to the planes weaknesses in an arena like the MA.
Also keep in mind that 56th pilots are not required to fly only the Jug in the MA. Many of us fly other planes as well, but when we wing up it's a Jug fest.
Urchin - Thanks for the kind words bud. Your S!! the other night after I landed a multiple kill run was a class act.
Last but not least, fly what you want and have fun doing it. Unless of course it's an LA7 or a Niki, if that's the case you a DWEEEEEEEEEEB!!!!! :-))

Sikboy... chest thumping is saying "Look at what we can do". That is exactly what Frenchy is doing. There is nothing wrong with it. As I said before, they do a remarkable job with a relatively unremarkable aircraft. While some people may think they are looking for attention (and maybe they are, who knows), I think they rightly deserve some. There are a lot of people who can't maintain a 1/1 KD in planes like the La7, P51D, or 190D9. The 56th maintains a better than 3/1 KD in the P47. I've had some great fights with them in the MA and the DA, and they are truly awesome pilots and people.
Pongo...
"a : of, relating to, or having the character of history b : based on history"
What do you think that is the defintion of? Thats right, historical. Do you or do you not think a group of pilots flying together in a P-47, having the squad name of the 56th FG "Zemkes Wolfpack" is related to, or has the character of history? To say nothing of being based on history.
Hell, my squad can't even claim that. Or maybe we can, I don't know what planes 3/JG2 flew.
-
As much as I have had disagreements with ammo over petty crap him and his squadmates do some remarkable thing in the jug.
They are great sports and even better pilots. As urchin said they make a less the spectacular "arena" plane do awesome things.
Frenchy has had my numbers for years, I still cant forgive him for Big Week ;)
S! 56th wtfg.............
-
thx Urchin. I appreciate those kind words!
-
Wow.
nothing against the 56th at all.
I just think sticking to a common Aircraft is a long way from being a true historical squad. I know they enjoy it and thats great. they are great sticks in any plane and thats great.
Declaring it supperior in some way and flaming people that disagree is a bit extreme..
-
I'm not flaming you, just disagreeing. I think, maybe I'm wrong, that you are taking umbrage at Frenchy's remark that he takes pride in the fact that his squad flies what their namesake flew. I don't think there is anything wrong with him thinking of people in "JG" or "VMF" or whatever squads consistantly flying N1Ks and La7s as being slightly cheesy. Whether I'd meet his definition of cheesy or not doesn't really bother me to be honest (I've spent most of the last 2 tours flying non-German stuff, but flying the same plane month after month gets a little boring for me).
He isn't saying that they are 'superior' to anyone, he is saying that he wishes more people in 'historical' squads would fly what their namesake flew. I actually used to feel pretty strongly like he does, now I don't really care.
And again, flying a common plane that was flown by a real life squadron that your 'virtual' squadron takes it name from appears to be the only way you could call your squadron a 'historical' one.

And this is why I myself wouldn't carachtorize it as chest thumping. However I think we agree on all other points.
