4th Staffel ./ Jagdgeshwader 53 "Pik As" is currently looking for 109 pilots. Overall skill is unimportant. Skill comes with time in plane and proper training.
The purpose of this Squad is to put together a 12 to 16 man unit that fly as a squad. The squad will fly and train to develope wingman tactics and proper energy fighting techniques. Basically the squad will fly the 109 as accurately as possible.
The squad will use the main to develope skills that we can put into practice in events and in the upcoming AH2:ToD. 4./JG 53 is not a "field capture" squad. The squads main focus will be a2a combat and "unit" flying.
The squad will fly all versions of the 109 but the 109g6 will be our main ride. As a squad our sole purpose will be flying the 109.
109s are best flown as Energy fighters - using its high climb rate to dictate the engagement. Normal Boom & Zoom tactics with very high speed passes do not suit the 109's style. It is better suited to the style of energy combat where the main objective is to set up a moderate altitude advantage right over or near the target. Then use short sprint dives with moderate closure rates for gun passes. The 109 can then climb back out and loop or climb away as necessary.
If any one is interested please email me, read over the web page (email and web link in sig). If you enjoy flying the 109 or are looking to learn look up 4./JG 53.
