Fly World War 2 Missions Friday Nights!

[Squire]

For those players who are looking for a "real World War 2 mission" there is no better experience than participating in Friday Squad Operations as part of a team. FSO is run 3 Fridays a month every single month from 11:00 PM EST to 01:00 AM EST. Details can be found in the AH Events link here: http://www.ahevents.org/events/fso.html

Fly as Axis or Allied in competative scored setups where you and your squads statistics can be viewed in a log file. The setups are Western European, Eastern European, Pacific, and Mediterranean from 1939-1945 with a different theme each month. Each side has an overall leader for each frame who issues orders during the 2 hour event. Fly as an escort P-51 over Germany, a Bf 109 on a fighter sweep over Malta, a Yak-9 over Russia, a Spitfire over the Channel, or an A6M5 over Rabaul or many other assignments including CV attacks with torpedo bombers and high alt bomber runs. Experience Midway 1942, The Battle of Britain, 8th AF over Germany, Stalingrad, North Africa 1942 and many others.

To fly in FSO you need to be part of a squad. So ask your mates if they would be interested in joining FSO. We ask for a commitment of at least 4 players and up to 27. You can also join an exisiting FSO squad by posting a message on the FSO BBS as most squads are recruiting. We currently have 200+ players per frame in FSO and we have room for many more.

Its great fun...much like a Scenario but we do them every month.

Please contact me (Squire) on the FSO BBS here: http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/index.php?board=60.0 or email me at warloc1841@gmail.com for any info or questions.

So go to your nearest recruiting station and join today! the virtual world depends on YOU!

That's 7:00 PM PACIFIC to 10:00 PM PACIFIC frame times.

I like 7pm-10pm Eastern a lot better.  But hell, 7pm-10pm Pacific would be an improvement.  You sure about those times??

[ImADot]

FSO Frames start at 11pm Eastern and are scheduled to run for two hours. You must be in a registered FSO squad to participate (walk-ons are not allowed). Membership in a squad in the SEA arenas do not conflict with membership with a squad in the main arenas - you can be members of both. If you are not in a registered FSO squad, you can make arrangements with one, prior to the event, and fly with them as a guest.

FSO Frames start at 11pm Eastern..

That's a shame.  Maybe someday that will change, I can only dream of flying WWII missions for now.

Here's a glimpse of the action in Frame 3 of the recent Battle Of Britain FSO.

JG11 escorted an attack on Westhampnett by the Heinkels of G3-MF and 353rd FG. The RAF showed up in some numbers to contend. Mayhem ensued...



(Although icons in the AH film viewer show at long ranges, while the frame is playing we have icons limited to 3.0k.)

FSO is the best part of Aces High. If you are interested in participating with a good group of pilots,  the 412th is seeking volunteers for Friday nights! PM me!

Messed up with the times again. Its 8:00 PM PAC-10:00 PM PAC or 11:00 PM EST to 01:00 AM EST the usual FSO times as Imadot stated.

My bad on that.

...in any case lads contact us with info if you are interested.

FSO is worth the price of admission.

Features:
-Historically matched plane sets.
-Often, the historic planes are MA hangar queens. Open your eyes to diverse aircraft.
-Coordinated, planned missions.
-Single life.
-Three related Frames per month.

Very intense. Very immersive.

Try it at least once.

It is really cool to see the reaction of new players when they fly one of these with us. 

With G3-MF, we have planning and discussions through the week.  We attempt coordination with the other squads.  Some respond and some wait until 15 minutes prior to take off.

We get organized into flights, assign task specifics, discuss comms, cover plane sets and what the technical aspects are and what strengths and weaknesses.

We get onto runway and are silent.  Flight leads set up final head counts before Rodent57 gives us the green light to launch.

It can be overwhelming and I know we scared a few away due to feeling intimidated by the discipline and organization.  We try to get them back and recruit people we fly with in the MAs.  For the most part, our MA guys are our FSO guys unless someone wants to try FSO out.  And our coms are very different in FSO vs. the MAs.

MAs we play, relax, and enjoy the game and if we can get something going to attack and take bases, we are having fun and we do it. 

FSO is like the super bowl to us.  We come with our game faces on and for the most part, act in a disciplined military manner.  We take it THAT seriously.

I will also extend the invite.  If anyone is interested in flying with us for a month, PM me and we'll arrange it.
