II./JG53 Co-Op Squadron Recruiting

[JG53Valantine]

 

Greetings all!

 

We are a group that has been around flying actively since 2006 so we are no fly by night squadron, if you'll pardon the pun, and have a dedicated membership; all of various experience and knowledge, all of us share the comraderie of flying together and enjoying this simulation as a team.

 

We are looking for pilots from all over the globe as we have staffels to match the vast majority of time zones:

 

Weisse Staffel is the European staffel flying at 20:00 (London) time on both Tuesdays and Sundays.

Rote Staffel is the USA and CAN staffel flying at 20:00 (US EST) time on both Tuesdays and Sundays.

Gelbe Staffel is the Australian and New Zealand staffel flying at 20:00 (WAST) on Wednesdays and Sundays.

 

Our Kampf (Bomber) Staffel operates across all three time zones and is a recent addition to our group. It operates in the same missions as our main fighter staffels however the amount of interaction between fighers and bombers varies dependant on the mission briefings for each element, sometimes it is a close co-operation, other times we head in different directions to one another to complete different objectives.

 

For those who are struggling with the sim, are new to flight sims or simply find no joy in flying about we have also recently openeda  "third" career stream within JG53 alongside the Fighter and Bomber Pilot roles - that of Aircrew. Members of Aircrew will conduct a range of activities from being Bombardiers, to air gunners, to when implimented being Flak gunners and even supply runners between bases. - This is of course a VERY early draft of this career path and is still very much open to many more changes as the game progresses.

 

We recruit pilots from across the Globe for both the Bf109 and the Ju88. Our group is primarily a BF109 group with Weisse Staffel operating out of Europe, Rote Staffel operating out of the USA, Gelbe Staffel operating out of Australia and our Kampf Staffel flying alongside the three main fighter staffels as pilots timezones permit. Obviously if you are assigned to one Staffel you are most certainly free to fly with the others as and when you are able to do so.

This Co-Op campaign runs the length of the war: beginning with the Spanish Civil War, through to Poland, the Sitzkrieg, Lowlands, Battle of France and Currently - the Battle of Britain as we are operating over right now with each pilot persona being tracked.

 

For more information on how we fly and what we are about pelase feel free to check out our website at http://www.iijg53.com'>http://www.iijg53.com'>http://www.iijg53.com or post in the Public area of our forum that does not require registration to post.

 

Our current recruitment drive is primarily geared towards: FIGHTER PILOTS from ALL time Zones, however those wishing to apply for other roles are more than welcome to apply at this time.

 

Finally, we have also recently launched our updated Pilots' Manual giving a great insight into how the group runs and what it is we do and how we do it.

 

So, if flying with a friendly bunch of like minded chaps sounds like your idea of fun then feel free to check us out at http://www.iijg53.com and complete an Enlistment form today!

Hope to see you in the virtual skies soon!

  We flew Nov 4th 1940 mission tonight.  We've been tranfered to St. Gatien from the St. Omer area.  The Blitz has begun.  Now the missions are a bit longer, but the targets are fatter!  We came across several groups of enemy aircraft, Beufighters, Blenhiems and Spits, and a few ship targets.  If it weren't for our teamwork, we may have all been killed!  We had two flights, "A" flight 4 AC and "B" flight with 5 (not bad for a tuesday!)....and all survived..wingmen did great jobs covering the wingleaders and communications were superb.  You should have been there, it was awesome. 

  Sometimes you wish the game could always be like this.

 

Sound like fun?  It is.  Join us!

With the close down of the ii/jg53 website, is the unit going to be resurrected in il2 BOS?

Sorry for the late response. No here to often ;-)

 

No we are never going switch to BOS. If we at some point start up again, it would be in an other flight sim like the DCS who is using a more modern engine and is more realistic in "our" (no debate please) point of view. But we have no plans doing this.

 

We switch over and is now doing Arma 3. We plan to do this for a long time ahead and is having a blast on the field. 90% of our members moved over and are happy with the switch. Along this, we are some, who picked up airplanes in DCS and doing planes like the P51D.

 

 

Cheers
