Virtual Armed Forces (VAF) - Now Recruiting F-15E Pilots and WSOs!

See the VAF on the Air Combat Sim Podcast episode #42!

 

Are you interested in learning to fly, fight and maximize your abilities in Modern DCS Jets? Would you like to fly fun and challenging cooperative missions as part of a team? Do you have a willingness to learn?

If your answers are "Yes," then give the Virtual Armed Forces a go! The Virtual Armed Forces (VAF) is looking to expand its ranks with enthusiastic and motivated virtual pilots and back-seaters who enjoy cooperative missions.

We specifically support the A-10C, F-14A/B^*, F-15E, F-16C, and F/A-18C, though we often do fly other airframes in our dynamic campaign servers.  Speaking of servers, we have one dedicated training server and three fiber-optic data-center servers for missions and dynamic campaigns.

We’re currently standing up our F-15E Strike Eagle squadron: the 428^th Fighter Squadron “Buccaneers.”  If you’re interested in learning and flying the F-15E, be sure to join our Discord channel!

We're looking to pair pilots with human WSOs, and we're encouraging cross-training on both stations for all who are interested.  This will allow people to switch between stations at will, or even field more F-15Es for events where more aircraft are required.  We have two former real-life back-seaters developing the training curriculum for the F-15E WSO.

Regardless of whether you fly as pilot, WSO, or both, you can be sure that you are receiving excellent training.  Like VF-142 (Our F-14 Tomcat squadron) Pilots will have competent human WSOs, and the melding of two people into a cohesive aircrew is a glorious achievement that provides intense satisfaction and elevates your experience to the pinnacle of what DCS has to offer.  And just like we have mature VF-142 Pilot and RIO syllabi, we’re feverishly working on Pilot and WSO syllabi for the Strike Eagle as well. 

Finally, this is the F-15E Strike Eagle, the premiere tactical strike aircraft in the world!  We’re going to be doing all weather deep strikes at night with NAVFLIR and TFR, flying CAP with 8 AMRAAM, and busting bunkers like literally nobody else can do!  It's all about fun, and we can have fun in so many ways!  And if you are not into the F-15E, be sure to check out the VFA-136 Knighthawks (F/A-18C) or the 111th Aces (F-16C).

^* VF-142 is currently inactive pending formal establishment of the 428th FS and correction of the AIM-54 performance envelope.
