=LD=dhyran Posted December 30, 2020 Posted December 30, 2020 (edited) Gentlemen, we started out on the 8 August 2013 here, we were lost in different spaces , but now we are regroup here and will fly on Finnish VirtualPilots - Dynamic War and Finnish VirtualPilots & Loose Deuce Dynamic War, the virtual finnish server with good numbers, so finding battles are more easy, and Boom and zoom fights are more doable. We old propnoses like the team efforts action a bit more, so we go for it Now, please let me introduce the Loose Deuce Squadron.An Aces High fighter 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?we are currently 17 pilots, a lot of us flys in average since 15 Years online. The squadron was founded in 2008, but a lot LD Pilots flying together since 10 years also in former Squadrons for nowSend an PM for more detailed questions cu on Finnish VirtualPilots - Dynamic War Currently we are active at around 20:00 CET<< S>>!dhyran Edited April 2, 2021 by =LD=dhyran

=LD=dhyran Posted January 29, 2021 Author Posted January 29, 2021 Gentlemen,we started yesterday a couple of long run on the finnish dynamic war server to the enemy rear depots, train stations etc. We went on the runway with 4*1000lb in a P38. Went up with over 1000liters fuel for the long run in a 4 finger formation. At all three sorties, we dropped our loadout with dozens of destroyed builings, and on the way back home we encounterd a couple of 109s and 190, shot down 7 of them. Due our playstyle of loose deuce we all made it back, never lost one of our four pilots last evening.Snappy Salute to =LD=stache, =LD=strat and =LD=4brkfastCO =LD=dhyranP.S. join us if you're tiered of lone wolf plays and looking for a nice bunch of sim pilots, just send a PM 1

=LD=BlackKnight Posted February 6, 2021 Posted February 6, 2021 Greetings All, I was trying to PM =LD=dhyran and it tells me that I can only send "0" PMs per day. SO I am posting here. I have been looking around in the forums and see that you are a group and fly together. I used to play WarBrids v2.0/3.0 way back in the day and looking into =LD=dhyran, he was one of the many trainers for WB. Squadron I used to fly for was the Royal Knights (purple). My handle was =BK=. Flew so many hours (years can't remember 95-98. Then RL took in and had to step away. I have played some of the flight sims since then all off line. I have had my eye on IL2 for awhile, but the price was just a little high. Just recently Steam with their big sale, I picked it all up and have been working to get back in. Saw the discord link posted and pop's in (if that is alright - drop out if needed). Would like to know when you all get together to if possible allow a "noob" to IL2 (learning curve all over again) to flew with you all. I thank you for your time to review and look forward. 1

=LD=dhyran Posted February 13, 2021 Author Posted February 13, 2021 Little Update since we got some great new members aboard! The Finnish dynamic war server made it happend. After flying warbirds from late 90s till 2007, changed over to AH2, played other stuff the last years, lost close attention to the WW2 combat sim world, was flying now and then, bought all maps, planes and packages in DCS and IL2 while hoping someday i might drawn back into it...... and it did. since my last post of 30 dec we reestablished the LD here at IL2. i flown every evening til midnight, over 80 hours flighttime in 4 weeks like back in the old WB days, every night is squadnite, we were recruiting some lone wulfs, and the core spirit feels better than ever. WW2 air combat is a drug! Doing the good old drag and bag moves, still creates a nice smile on your face, its rocknroll, just let it happens Snappy Salute dhyran aka =dhy==

=LD=dhyran Posted March 4, 2021 Author Posted March 4, 2021 Gentlemen, we Loose Deuce are 16 virtual pilots now, we got 4 open slots left! We will have a recruiting stop at 20 active online pilots as =LD= member. After the limit is reached, we fly, and tighten up, learning each others fighting style more and more. We wanna create a tight fighter unit, splitting into wings, working on a trustworthy relationship between "Aces"! We will be able to mix different wings, because the fighting style of loose deuce is in opposite to welded wings are based on changing the active attacker role during the fight in just seconds. We are all entusiasts, all hotas setup, headtracker of VR driven, i call it crazy propheads, crazy about ww2 air combat, hardcore dedicated by heart, but also people with family, jobs, kids etc. So no hard core schedules! in... out..... clear press! If you like to be a part of us, just let me know.... snappy salute dhyran 2
