Looking for a CET based squad.
« on: March 16, 2009, 09:54:48 AM »
Hi there,

After a almost two year long break Ive found my way back to AH. When I used to play I played with a squad that was a group of friends that had played other games together. Very few of us that used to fly together still play AH and the ones who do are based in the US.

Id really like to fly with a mature group of pilots who have their main game play hours between 7pm and 11pm CET.

I really like to fly wing and hope to find a group that flies together alot.

Im currently totally out of shape and will need some time to get back in shape so I hope you can bare with me.

What Im hoping is that people who know of groups that could suite me will reply so that I can get recommendations and not only recruitement spam. ;)

Thanks in advance.

Dhyran has a newish squad that fly together tactical style,   called loose duece,  no doubt he will be along shortly with more details,

My squadron The Few do recruit Europeans and are the largest UK based squadron in game.  We are a little more laid back though and do a bit of everything in game.

We are currently On rooks and your welcome to fly with us for a 2 week trial if your interested,   website is in my sig,

 :salute

as for the maturity we can get a bit out of hand sometimes,  when the jokes get flowing some of us can't hold back.  We do have a balance of young adult pilots who kick arse and the older more respectable chaps who come along for the ride  :D

hey,

hehe bruv, sure  :aok If you are looking for a good UK based squad, join the Few, if not read here:
Well as bruv pointed out, we LDs fly tactical wingmen bsaed ACM. It doesent count how much kills you land, it matters in the way how how fly.
We LD are actual 13 active Pilots, flying wingtactics most time, keep up the teamplay. Most are above 35 years, i would say, average age is 40! good crew, good mix of US based guys and guys from Uk, Ger, Ita. We fly all kinds of fighters, but fighters. We are no Tankdrivers, no Buffers.

Tex please checkout if this here will fill your needs:

Welcome to the ~<<~Loose Deuce~>>~ Squadron
An Aces High Figther Squadron, based on wingtactical flying, is established for experienced pilots, who will find a lot good wingmen within the squadron.

When many people think about flying in "wings" (two or fourship formations), they are thinking in terms of what Shaw calls the "fighting wing" doctrine. The leader is the primary offensive unit of the section and is the one doing all the attacking. It is the wingman's job to stay with the leader, and protect him by preventing bandits from saddling up on him while he's fighting. The leader does almost all of the fighting, and the wingman simply tries to stay with him.

Fighting wing doctrine, also called "welded wing", was used once, when an ace as the winglead showed a freshman the ropes.

In Opposition to a "welded wing", Shaw introduced another wing doctrine, which he called the "double attack" doctrine. This is basically a system whereby each of the two section members provides support to the other, but neither one is bound into the leader/follower paradigm. They are both offensive units, and both are generally free to maneouver as the circumstances demand, each one covering the other. This does not mean, that the section disintegrates upon contact with the enemy - its stays together, but in a looser fashion than "welded wing" would dictate, and the roles of primary attacker and supporter may change back and forth, depending upon, who has the best shooting solution. This doctrine is sometimes referred to as the "loose deuce" system. While "welded wing" historically was a doctrin, where an "Ace" leads a "Freshman" into the fight, "loose deuce" is based on to a trustworthy relationship between "Aces".

We are going on the runway together, fly in formation into the battle, fight and always keep an eye on your wingman, fianally returning together to base. If you do the same thing, then you're using "loose deuce" wingman tactics right now, whether you know it or not. You watch others get engaged, and if they get in trouble, you can often help them by swooping down and nailing the bandit. You can nail bandits, which they are dragging. That's basically what "loose deuce" is - only when you are doing it with a dedicated wingman, it is even more effective than the impromptu wingmen you get in the arena. Being in a different tactical situation than your wingman gives you a good chance to make a good shot at the enemy.

Flying "loose deuce" allows both members of the section to act offensively and to come home with their fair share of kills - and there is no better reason for flying "loose deuce" than that.

If there would be a great many wings, flying and fighting "loose deuce" together, can you imagine that?

If you can, join the ∼<<∼Loose Deuce∼>>∼ Squadron!

Thanks guys,

Ill read up and look into the two squads. Few things.

When I say mature I mean a squad with a high understanding of the fact that AH2 is a game which is played with and against other players. Meaning that you respect your enemies through respectfull gameplay but dont whine when other players dont play the game the way you feel it should be played. Imho whining is a waste of energy and removes from the relaxing experience of playing games.

That said I dont mind voicecoms that are full with joking, singing or any other "non serious" stuff. I do enjoy it as long as people know when to focus and to clear coms for battle talk.

When it comes to rides and such Im a fighter pilot. I dont do buffs and I dont do GVs. I can do a goon now and then if I feel like some down time but its rare. In my fighter I do enjoy attack runs as well as fighter runs.

We mainly furball and fly fighters but don't mind doing a little base capture if nothing else is on,  We train our newer pilots in the DA to help them improve and knock rust off.    

as for my bold highlight i think everyone at somepoint has been guilty of venting their frustrations at the enemy.  Of course this isn't a force of habit but people have been known to let off steam on our ventrilo server.  I do my best to refrain from channel 200 discussions  ;)

To keep our rules to a minimum we have two;

1) join our ventrilo server whilst playing,

2) Be respectful to your squaddies and your enemies.  If i catch people being out of line constantly I will give them the boot.

As for online activity we have 30 members , 27 active and 4 active in our new American wing.  We also participate in the Squad Dueling League.

You should check out the 457th BG! We fly Rooks and work in sync with the 100th Bomb Group. Check out our website. We also use TeamSpeak rather than vox. Our vox channel is 128 so feel free to tune in if ya want! We fly wing almost everytime we run sorties. Our primary crate is the B17, but we fly all other planes as well, just to mix things up.

 :salute

History

In WW2, this Bomb Group was short-lived. Founded in 1944, it was created for strategic bombing in Germany. The 457th participated in high altitude sorties and is responsible for destroying key factories and refineries in Germany. They were well-known for their silver B-17s. They did not apply paint on their bombers, as it decreased drag and weight, and increased aerodynamics. The 457th BG were also one of the fastest flying B-17 bomb groups of WW2. The group was deactivated in 1945.

In 2001, the 457th "Air Expeditionary Group" was reactivated and are currently flying the B-52H Stratofortress. They are participating in the War on Terror.

In Aces High

This squad consists of pilots that like to work together. We currently fly for the Rooks. The squad vox is channel 128. The squad primarily flies in the Late War Main Arenas. We are currently under developement, as this is a prototype bomb squadron. The 457th BG is designed to do joint operations with the 100th BG "Bloody Hundredth". The squad is young, but is coming along very nicely.

Operation

We specialize in "strategic bombing". Our squad crate is the B-17G. We usually set our target altitude above 20K feet. We hit such targets as cities, refineries, and bases. Most of our sorties range from 200 miles to 400 miles in a single flight. The 457th BG operates on a democratic system. This means that the voice of the squad determines the 457th's next move. We are not limited to bombing, however... we fly all planes and drive all vehicles.

Trademark

You may have seen us in the arenas from time to time. We are recognized by our "AE" squad tags in our GameID. The "AE" stands for Air Expeditionary. If you have been flying for the Knights or Bishops, you may have also seen a cloud of silver B-17s dropping bombs on your head!

Prospective Members

As of right now, we are recruiting! For more details, please visit our website at: http://457thbombardmentgroup.web.officelive.com/default.aspx

To answer some more questions....

Im Swedish and in Sweden. My nick has nothing to do with Texas and is as Chilli hints a reference to the old games that feature the main character Tex Murphy.

My ingame nick is texmurph.

My main ride is "undecided" atm.

When I first started flying a few years back I started out my main ride was a Yak9u. I picked the Yak as my first ride inorder to learn to shoot and not spray. Then I moved over to flying a Jug as my main ride and learned to fly it quite agressivly. After the Jug I moved over to flying the F6F as I wanted something carrier based as my main. Ive also spent alot of time in B-Poneys as a old squadie of mine flew it and we used to wing. Then ofcourse Ive done some spit time as well but even though I enjoy them Im not to fond of the most mainstream rides in the game.

What Ive always sucked in is the Hogs, P-38, German rides and the Ki84. Some how these are planes that Ive not really come to terms with.

Im really tempted to learn to fly the hog really well but realized a few nights back that learning a new plane and derusting is a quite frustrating thing. :)

@Plazus

Thanks but as mentioned in my second post in this thread Im a fighter pilot. While I occationally do enjoy to escort bombers on a squad night its not really something I want to do all the time.

That said your squad page and squad looks great.

@kilz

All the guys on your squad roster are US based. CET is Central European time. So Ill pass on your squad.

If your swedish you need to fly with us,  we have a small swedish Posse,

Our main website was done by a Swede.

I adore Swedish pin ups too. ;)

I saw your post in help and training and your views on ACM in general will match ours.  Lookup RumbleB (swede) or Kazaa in game and go fight them for an hour.  If you can cope with the flying skills of these two and hope to learn from them you will knock that rust off in no time.
