punk Posted June 23, 2016 Posted June 23, 2016 Oh certainly not...:huh: I don't believe in blasphemy for this sort of thing. And I like it when we disagree, there is so little to be gained from everyone sharing an identical view. I like the fact that we are discussing these things, I just made a suggestion based on my preferences. :) Much of this simply relates to how you like your entertainment: -Master and Commander vs Pirates of the Caribbean -Galdiator vs Rome (HBO series) -Black Hawk Down vs Hot Shots, Part Deux These are all films that I really enjoy, but they take different degrees of artistic license and fictionalization. If a group of people want to get together, then we should discuss what degree should be present for something like this. My intention was to open the conversation, not close it. (Hence I used terms like "prefer"). Does anyone else have thoughts on the matter? Tirak, you seem to enjoy dress-up at least as much as I do ;)...are you interested in such a thing and what would you prefer? My personal vote would to follow in the foot-steps of groups like virtual VFA-113. Or create a virtual air wing (CVW...???) to offer more platforms. However, I'm still interested in DCS Pirate squadron, DCS Flying Circus (I wasn't kidding - I like this idea, excellent potential for variety), and anything else that is put forth for consideration. Best, Nick I know this is a fairly old post and I haven't read past here, but I am mixed on the issue. What I am not mixed about though, is how I feel about people who passive aggressively try to denigrate others in the guise of being PC or not. I hope you understand who that remark is directed at, he/she is quite free with sharing their... thoughts?. Having flown Aces High II for many years in the past, I know and understand that the people taking on a units name is usually in honor of those original men who risked their lives daily to protect their countries at the moments their countries needed them most. It also helps focus them on their aircraft types, training, and mission. In that game accurate skins were the rule of the game developer, so there was no question on in-game skins. I have never played any other MMO flight sims, so I am limited in that regard. I do understand the desire, especially from the Pepsi generation onwards, for their own flashy, unrealistic paint jobs. I do like that idea to an extent though. I actually like the artwork on the OPs first post, though am on the fence over it. One issue as I have been looking around various jet age virtual squadrons, especially the naval ones, is that the top guy or two want to hog the CAG and CO bright birds. It is their right, but in the majority of squadrons I have read or been told stories about, the birds were assigned by mission readiness and not by whose name was on the side. I would like a squadron to make random airframe assignments when handing out their Fragos, this lets everyone fly any and all of the various paint jobs in the realistic arena. Though individually designed and painted birds makes that issue nearly mute, except that it could give everyone a chance at a fresh look now and then, though the owner may harbor ill will over it, so again, probably a mute point. When it comes to this bird, I am a bit of a fanatic so choosing only one squadron or era tears me up inside. I love nearly all of them and like the rest a lot. Makes it so tough to choose. I would love to join a group of fliers who want to have the single airframe mindset who can teach me to fly and fight the AC the way it is supposed to be instead of a Spit IX :/ I do like someone's suggestion of an aggressor squadron too, though I think they should be administratively separate and only operationally together, so sister squadrons if you will. Then, cross training and joint ops would be great fun, but internally, everyone is focused on one airframe, easier for me to keep track, I am easily distracted at times. I was in a couple squads in AH II, one was a made up squad where everyone flew what and how they wished, the other was German iron only and they were much more focused and fought as a unit, but both were fun and filled with great people to spend the evening with for the most part, though sometimes the squelch feature was your best friend :) I guess, in summary, I like your Flying Circus suggestion the most. If you do something like that, I would suggest not going with a real squadron to base this one on, but perhaps a fictional one, perhaps the Arrowslingers from Punks War :) (hint hint) or even one, heaven forbid, from Topgun or something of that sort. <Salute> Punk [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
