KG4, An established bomber focused squadron

[1./KG4_Blackwolf]

We had a blast flying with you guys! It was nice to get the reds shot off of us and get to know you guy's as well. Thanks JG54, you guys are top shelf. Lets plan on getting together and fly a mission or two soon. Looks like Sundays will be good. Just need to get the times down when everyone can be online. S!

[FTC_Kurse]

Sure do! Join us on our discord channel That's where we meet up and plan, then we jump to TS and go to work. Where are you from and what days/nights are you free?

I'm on the east coast U.S. I'm disabled so I'm very flexible as far as time goes.

[FTC_Kurse]

I'm very new to IL-2 however so I may need yinz to hold my hand a bit 

[Ledair]

  Great work guys can't wait to start forming up on missions with you all.

Not a problem Husky 

[1./KG4_Blackwolf]

Yeah, No problem Husky, between Murder and myself we can corrupt..er.. train you up right.

@ Ledair, jump on in after you get back from your holiday. You need to bring the beer the first time though!

Yinz means he's up north..I'm guessing PA? Am I close? We say ya'll down here.

[FTC_Kurse]

Very good Blackwolf! I live just north of Pittsburgh, even though I'm a native of the area the PA slang never ceases to amuse me.

[FTC_Kurse]

What joystick/yoke 'n' pedals setup do each of you use?

[1./KG4_Blackwolf]

I have a warthog, saitek combat peds, a ch throttle quad, Track IR 5 and a Vive. So the Track IR isn't getting much use now.

[Retnek]

Yoke plus one 3-leveler-quadrant and rudders, all that from the Pro-Flight-series by Saitek. It's ok for the money, but after ca. 5 years of average duty the plastic-stuff and the more or less cheap electronics show it's age. I use 3 levellers for single engine power (Ju-52), one for common pitch, one mixture and one elevator trim, finally.

 

Difficult to find a good yoke, I'd love to have a larger bomber yoke, not one looking like a Cessna clone ... btw: anyone with an CH-joke here willing to share his experience?

 

Had a good stereo head-set over years, good micro attached with cable straps (next to Track-IR) was doing fine. Now I use the Logitech G35 because of the buttons, useful for Teamspeak channels and whispers. Mic is good, sound not perfect, after bringing down the overdone bass with an equalizer it's acceptable. Track-IR 4 with active LEDs still is great, robust and works flawless from day one.

[FTC_Kurse]

I have a Thrustmaster t-flight x joystick for when I'm feeling froggy and think I can fly fighters, (enemy fighters put me right back in my place). Then I also have the Saitek Pro Flight yoke, pedals and throttle quadrant I like to use when flying multi-engine aircraft.

I built my own infrared head tracker, I suspect it's not nearly as good at TrackIR but it's a hellofa lot cheaper!

I would love to get my hands on a Warthog but they're a bit pricey for me at the moment.

 

Anyone gonna be online this evening?

[1./KG4_Ben_C]

Husky,

 

I've been online but might have missed you.  If you haven't already done so please join our discord channel, we've found its more useful to use that to meet up & arrange flights etc.  Look forward to flying with you soon.

[FTC_Kurse]

Wilco Ben.

[1./KG4_Blackwolf]

I'll be on tonight, I'm on discord now as well.

Still looking for bomber pilots. Our ranks are filling up, if this looks fun to you drop us a message.

 

[6./ZG26_Custard]

Guys,

 

Although we like to fly the 110 a lot I was thinking maybe one evening we should team up for a bit of a mass bombing run on DED in the 111 or the 88. What do you reckon? If you would like that drop me a PM and we can sort something out.

Best regards

Custard

[1./KG4_Blackwolf]

Hey Custard,

Sounds fun. PM sent.

[Original_Uwe]

Hey name the time and server and JG 54 will rally what we can to escort.

[Original_Uwe]

Have to say watching you guys fly the heavies tonight was awesome!

Anyone looking for a bomb group should come here first, they know what they are doing and as bomber groups go already have a large cadre of pilots.

Great flying tonight guys!

[6./ZG26_Custard]

Cheers guys was great to team up with you guys, until the next time.

 

Best regard

KG4 is at it again! We put up about 3/4 of our squad tonight for a test run. Yes that is seven of us!   Ya'll look out..

 

KG4 going to work..

 

Bombs out..

 

All your bases are belonging to us!

 

Sniper hits on targets that needed to go down.

 

Thinking about bombing, join up with KG4 and fly with a bomber group dedicated to full real (as real as we can get in here) and just have some fun too. 

[1./KG4_OldJames]

Personally I like a Stuka, but a 111 is good to...I will have to keep a lookout for you fellas and try to cadge a slipstream from you. If you don't mind I would like to hop on your Discord channel to keep tabs on when and where you are flying. (seen the login details on your website)

[Odessa]

I'm not that far away 1 hour with airline  cya on Discord  ( but i fly 110 + Ju52 time to time when my He111 Is in the workshop after a bombe run  )

Edited May 10, 2017 by 1./KG4_Blackwolf

[1./KG4_OldJames]

Thanks. I am flattered and honoured. (enough fawning?)

[F/JG300_Gruber]

Hi there, I overlooked this thread since today, but I wish your new squadron a long life and a lot of success.

Looks like the level is already quite high on the standards. 

 

I'm already bound to my squadron but I hope to find one or two occasions to drop a few tons with you on DED or TAW. 

 

Cheers

[1./KG4_Blackwolf]

Thanks Gruber and anytime you want to wing up just let us know!

Just a hint, folks:

[1./KG4_Blackwolf]

I would, If I could..but the time its run I'm at work.

Check Discord Retnek, can you make Saturday?

Edited May 12, 2017 by 1./KG4_Blackwolf

[Retnek]

Not sure now, Real Life might be a problem - but thx for the hint, thought it was a US-time-zones-optimized event, but 19 UTC is prefect. Will have to place a marker in my calendar!

[1./KG4_Blackwolf]

Yeah, when I read the timezone I thought it might be right for us mixed timezone squads. Well if you can make it cool, if not plan for it next week. We are trying to get a big showing next week. It was short notice this week.

[1./KG4_Blackwolf]

Retnek did make it and got in his JU-88 tonight.  Next week you may be in a 111 bud!
