Looking forward to BoS!

The "geeyap" welcomes all, new or veteran, young or old. We've got a top-notch training program designed by a retired USAF training officer for those who are interested, but plenty of ptab to drop on enemy heads for those who are not.  :D

 

We are a proud and friendly bunch who strap ourselves into the cockpits of legendary warbirds in the great air simulation games IL-2 Sturmovik 1946, IL2-Cliffs of Dover and Rise of Flight, where we do combat with any Capitalist or Imperialist air forces or navies that get in our way! 

Where else can you be flying a fearsome Fokker over Amiens in the morning, smashing tanks an IL2 over Smolensk at lunchtime then bailing out of your Spitfire for tea and biscuits in Buckingham palace in the afternoon?

You can choose a career flying nimble fighters, spending hours in front of the mirror adjusting your hair gel or dedicate yourself to unleashing cartloads of cannon shells, rockets, bombs and retribution with the hairy arsed ground attack crews or wrestling huge four engined bombers around the skies with our Strategic bombing team.

 

The fame of the 69.GIAP traverses the globe, having saved the British Empire in the Battle of Britain and assisting the American entry to the war due to a slight navigational error during weapons training over Hawaii. While the US Navy were a bit cross, the USAAF subsequently spent millions of dollars developing our training program. Many of our squad members fly in real life so we can assure you this is as real as it can get flying in your front living room.

Stenka,

I checked out your squadron and I am very impressed. I do have a few questions. Since my questions may apply to other aspiring VVS pilots, I thought I would post my questions here, rather than pm my questions.  

 

1) When IL2 BOS is released, will the 69 GIAP still require that 69 GIAP members must have IL2 1946?

 

I would like to sim fly ROF and IL2 BOS, exclusively.

 

2) Will you recreate your very impressive IL2 1946 training program for the IL2 BOS sim?

 

I would like to train on all of the IL2 BOS planes, while going through your BFM training, ACM training, and ACT training.

 

3) Does the 69 GIAP need future Yak and LA-5 pilots?

 

While I will be utterly happy to train on and sim fly any IL2 BOS VVS machine, particularly if our bomber specialists are not available to fly in a given mission, I would really like to specialize in sim flying the Yaks and La rides. 

 

Thank you for your consideration of my questions.

Ah! good to see my old sqdn is ready for the titanic tussle over Stalingrad.

We of 5./JG27 await you .

[=69.GIAP=STENKA69GIAP]

1) When IL2 BOS is released, will the 69 GIAP still require that 69 GIAP members must have IL2 1946?

 

Once we have our training converted to BOS, 1946 will not be neccesary to participate in training. After training pilots choose what platform they fly. So even today they could delete 1946 from their hard drive and specialise in ROF if that's what they want.

 

2) Will you recreate your very impressive IL2 1946 training program for the IL2 BOS sim?

 

There are two parts to this, the self service training missions will need to be rewritten, tested and possibly changed. If you look at the ROF basic training pack it is different from the IL2 pack.

 

However it is actualy easier to adapt BFM, ACM and ACT training to BOS. All of the training supports teach the principles which are for real life combat and apply to any good SIM. I will then need to build one training mission as a sandpit, which should take about 2 hours. After that the trainers need to put in some airtime to get comfortable.  

 

So that should all take about 2 weeks from pre-release.

 

3) Does the 69 GIAP need future Yak and LA-5 pilots?

 

Yes, and you will get a free Laminated Coffin (Lagg 3) to smash up during training

 

4) Does the 69 GIAP still supply Kadets free beer and loose women?

 

Of course, this is the VVS you know

Stenka,

Thank you so much for the fast reply! I would definitely like to  be considered for membership, to begin training with the 69 GIAP, this Fall. I regret that I cannot start sooner, but, if I am accepted, I will be a very active member. I intend to play ROF and BOS for many years to come, so I will be able to stick with the 69 GIAP for many years. By the way, I have some skin making experience. Depending on how the squad likes my skin work, I can help your 69 GIAP skin maker create IL2 BOS 69 GIAP VVS personal skins for the existing squad members and future squad members, too.

Fantastic Misha your skills will be more than welcome. Just make sure to post an application on our forum and meet the crew. We have some exciting times ahead and you're more than welcome.

[707shap_Srbin]

Hi mates!

 

Looking onto Your emblem:

 

69giap never ever flew I-16.

 

It was formed in Ryazan on 10.10.41, as 10iap, and was equipped with MiG-3.

From 25.10.41 to 6.02.42 on Kalinin Front 10iap flew mainly ground attack mission (sic!). 10iap claimed 3 german a/c shot down in air, and 9 enemy a/c destoryed on the ground.

 

From 6.02.42 to 17.03.42 regiment was not at front, in Moskow area, and trained and converted on LaGG-3 fighters.

 

From 19.03.42 to 07.07.42 at Volkhov Front, 10iap claimed 31 german a/c shot down in air.

Own losses from october 41 to june 42 - 22 MaIg-3/LaGG-3 and 12 pilots killed or missed.

 

From 01.08.42 to 05.10.42 10iap trained to Hurricane, but plans changed and from 05.10.42 to 01.12.42 - regiment trained to P-40E Kittyhawk.

 

From 10.12.42 to 13.03.43 on North-Western front 10iap flew 227 combat missions, claimed 4 german a/c shot down. Oun losses - 6 P-40E and 6 pilots, including major N.V.Terekhin, kommander of regiment, who was killed in combat on 30.12.42.

 

15.03.43 10iap was forsed back to retraining on P-39 and recuperation.

 

By Order of NKO USSR #128 (18.03.43) and Directive of HQ RKKA #512345 (21.03.43) 10iap was renamed as 69 Guards iap.

 

On 05.06.43 regiment was increased to 3 squadrons (12 P-39 each), and 26.06.43 joined 304iad 7iak.
 

Started combat action on 06.10.43 from Poltawa (Ukraine).

From 06.10.43 to 31.12.43 69giap flew 569 combat missions, 63 a/c claimed shot down, oun losses - 11 P-39.

 

Then, over Ukraine, Moldavia and eastern Romania, from 01.01.44 to 03.07.44 69giap flew 885 combat missions, 55 aircombats, shot down 82 eaircrafts and lost 5 P-39 and 1 pilot.

From 14.07.44 to 28.08.44 69giap flew over Poland and shot down 30 german aircrafts.

 

Then over Germany, from 12.01.45 to 11.05.45, 69giap claimed 45 german a/c shot down.

Total score of 10iap/69giap - 258 enemy aircrafts shot down in air.

 

 

 

 

 

Gv.kapitan N.I.Proshenkov (HSU on 27.06.1945), squadron kommander in 69giap, on the wing of his P-39N-1.  His total score - 375 combat missions, 18 a/c shot down.

 

 

 

 

 

Pilots of 69giap recieving post from their darlings. On the background - P-39, shown above.

 

Hallo!

 

 

 

 

 

On the wing.

 

 

 

 

 

Here I am!

 

 

 

 

 

Gv.Kapitan F.I.Shikunov, squadron kommander in 69giap, after combat mission. To his death in action on 15.03.45, he flew 206 combat missions and shot down 21 enemy a/c by his oun and 1 more - shared with other pilots.

[707shap_Srbin]

One more pilot-ace from 69giap - Vasili Ivanovich Tchizh. Total score - WWII - 12+1, Korea - 2.

[707shap_Srbin]

Also, general info in 69giap.

 

On 19.02.1945, for succesfull actions for liberation of Krakow (Poland), 69giap received name "Krakovski".

 

Somewhere areund summer 1943, 69iap was awarded by Order of Alexander Nevski.

And after that, this Order was painted on all P-39's of 69giap.

 

So, it was such as "emblem" of 69giap, for example as here (pilot V. Tchizh in front of his P-39):

Hi Bersrk,

 

Thx for the info and pics,

 

You missed another shocking fact, Stenka Razin was hung drawn and quartered by the Tzar in 1671.

 

How on earth does he get to be flying a Stormovik over Stalingrad in 1942?

[707shap_Srbin]

 

1. His name was Stepan

2. Stenka now is flying Il-2 Sturmovik

[=69.GIAP=TUSHKA]

Thanks, Bersrk, you have uncovered some information that we lost with the passing of our squad historian.

 

Our squad is inspired by the real 69 GIAP, but is not intended to be a historical recreation of that squadron.  We fly in all theaters (including WWI) and fly all aircraft roles - not just fighters.  Our main goal is to have fun!

 

However, thank you for your gift of this information.  It is greatly appreciated.

 

P.S.  we also share a passion for the IL-2.  

[707shap_Srbin]

Addition:

69giap was awarded Order of Alexander Nevsky on 26.04.1945 for:

 За образцовое выполнение боевых заданий командования в боях при прорыве обороны немцев и разгроме войск противника юго-западнее Оппельна и проявленные при этом доблесть и мужество

[=69.GIAP=TUSHKA]

Google translate says:

 

For exemplary performance of command assignments in the fighting during the breakthrough of the German defenses and defeat the enemy troops southwest of Oppeln and displaying valor and courage

I ponied up and ordered this. I hope we can integrate it into our squadron. I enjoy 1946, but it could use a graphics overhaul.

[=69.GIAP=MALYSH]

nice info, thanks! It's hard to search for Soviet squadrons, as an English speaker.

 

our particular brand of the 69giap flies everything though, from WWI kites to hurricanes and buffaloes, including sturms and peshkas  

 

See you in the skies!

Good to see you're still alive Malysh. If things go well with BoS I have no doubt we'll be seeing you flying and no doubt instructing. Just take it easy though
