SANGUINEM IN AQUA (SIA) Squadron

[SIA_Sp00k]

Sanguinem in Aqua (Blood in the Water) Squadron is a group of experienced Combat Sim pilots formed from prior IL2 BoS Squadrons. The SIA fights on the ground and in the Air in a variety of sims. Our predominant sim is IL2 BoS on the Finnish Dynamic Server.

 

Our pilots stem from the Americas (north and south) Europe, Australiasia and Asia. ( English needed but you dont have to be great at it :))

 

The SIA usually fight on the side of the least populated side.  We fly and fight both Allied and Axis using all plane sets in High Altitude, Dive and JABO bombing missions, fighter escort or mission roles as required.  SIA pilots and tankers support each other in all online activities and all online members fly under the SIA skins. (Sanguinem in Aqua on HSD)

 

We accept experienced and non experienced members into our ranks, teaching those who need it and  learning from those who do not.  The SIA is a competent, non elitest group in IL2 working behind the scenes on the maps objectives. if you think this sounds like YOU, you will find us on Discord *mandatory*.

 

SIA Discord  https://discord.gg/RcfZ3633WZ  (ignore the link in the vid. This is the permanent link. Ill change it with next recruitment vid)

 

The Squadron tenents and SOP's posted on that site will give you a good idea of who and what we are.

 

Salute and good hunting!

This is a public service announcement. SIA is looking to add an Aussie or 2 to our roster, Sp00k can use the company. We have skins, we have semi-literate individuals available to aid in the D/Ling and installing of said skins. We have many using VR, making our combined knowledge of all things VR, honed by hours of aggravation and frustration, a ready package to be passed along to those who would dare step into the game. We have a short tradition, which means you get in on the ground floor and add your mark to our collective psyche. We regularly shoot each other down, so there's that.

 Now if you're not an Aussie but hail from another point on the compass don't worry, we have a slot just for you. As it is we have members in SA, NA, EU, and Britain. So step right up and become the hero you know you've always been. Whether it's at the stick of a fighter, or toggling the bomb release on a bomber, or clanking along in a tank, stats are to be padded, friends are to be made and fun to be had.

 Whether a newb or an ace, no matter we take all comers. If you're sitting on the fence inquire about our probationary package where you can test the waters and see if it's too cold, too hot, or just right. I think you may be surprised what can happen within the ranks of the SIA Sqn.

Wait. If we regularly shoot each other down and we have a short tradition, does that mean it is traditional to shoot each other down? 
 

Damnit, I’m doing it all wrong….

Yes, accidents happen and if you expect it you don't get as mad. (I could include ramming, as I have been on the business end of those but why blow it out of proportion).  I think every sqn. has a tradition of getting in each other's way once in awhile, we just admit it is all.

[SIA_Target]

Bumpity bump.

The plane boss, the plane!!

 

 Yes, that's right, if you're old enough and grew up in the US you'll recognize the last two posts as reference to Riccardo Montalban (he being the boss in this post), AKA KAHNNNNNN!!!

[SIA_Target]

Just an update, (long in coming), the SIA, at this juncture of it's short history, is currently flying both sides of the Finnish server. That is, we fly on the German's side one month and on the Allied side the next. This keeps it interesting, if not confusing, for our members. We attempt to fly bombers with escorts when the conditions coalesce. We'll fly to the further reaches of the enemy's rear for the juicier targets. 

 On occasion some of us more daring types will man a tank and try our hand at a land grab. We've even done it with combined arms when our pilots have been having a good day and are feeling generous.

 But wait, that's not all. A select few of us have FC as well as DCS. And then there's the mud wallowing we sometimes entertain ourselves with, (WW 1 and 2), but our mainstay is IL2. If COD ever gets VR up and running a few of us have expressed the desire to go back to the White Cliffs of Dover for some B of B action.

 

[SIA_ArcTander]

Confusing is the word. I never seem to know if that 109 on my tail is a friendly or an enemy until I check the time of the month.

 

Us in he EUTZ are currently engaged doing low level 190 raids interrupting enemy fighter bombers…

 

 

 

if that looks like fun, hop on our discord :-)

Good evening all,

 

I happened to stop by and I am interested in what you guys do.

I am in the EST TZ.

I joined your discord channel but am unsure where to post an intro.

 

Anyway, I've been flying IL2 (and its variant of it) since the old days of VEF and was hoping to maybe fly with you all for a bit and see if we click.

I'll be honest here, I'm a ground pounder (like blowing things up) and not so much a fighter jock even tho I can hold my own.  I pretty much do what you all do and join the side with the least amount of players which translated into me being proficient with German aircraft.  

I'm mostly on during the week and weekends are free.  I work a 4pm to midnight shift so I can keep your Aussies entertained during our daytime lol.

 

I do appreciate you taking the time to read this.

 

All the best!

 

 

[SIA_Target]

Sorry for the late reply, I'll look for your name in the list and be sure you have access to the comms channels. When you do, if you don't now, don't be shy, if you see anyone on the comms channel jump on in.

 

[SIA_Sp00k]

Welcome Bluntman, Discord PM any one of us to get set up if we miss you in Discords lobby. Look forward to you joining our Wing.

 

We do Post scriptum, Elite Dangerous as well, so lots to do if you use those games.
