Callsign JoNay Posted March 12 Posted March 12 ≡☆≡ JOIN THE 51st VFW ≡☆≡ ■ABOUT US■ We are a North American based group operating primarily in the evening hours between the PST-EST time zones, but we accept applicants from all over the world as long as they can adapt to our schedule. We currently have 70+ active pilots, some active/former military, some commercial aviators, and others just sim pilot gamers. We consider ourselves MilSim-Lite. We do have a rank structure, but do not enforce anything too extreme like virtual saluting or adhering to strict chains of command. We are self aware, and know that at the end of the day we are all just nerds who enjoy the same video game. In the air, we do try to fly seriously. Learning about, and adopting, real world standard operating procedures and tactics is one of the things we enjoy. Our main wing missions usually occur on Saturday or Sunday evenings. We typically have 40+ pilots in attendance, flying a variety of airframe types all assigned with parallel objectives that work toward a larger win condition. We primarily play PVE, but will occasionally organize PVP events, complete with OPSEC channels, encrypted COMMS, and back end espionage. ■SERVERS■ We have several dedicated servers, enhanced with MOOSE, Tactical Paddles, and other back end goodies that bring the simulator to life and enhance immersion. ■REQUIREMENTS■ Fluent in English. Availability in the evening hours of North American time zones. Over 18 years old. Have some form of HOTAS. Have some form of head tracking. Latest version of DCS Open Beta. Simple Radio / SRS. Not an active member of any other 4th gen DCS virtual squadrons. ■AIRFRAMES■ A-10C AH-64D, and/or other Blue helos F-16C F/A-18C F-15E AV-8B (Decommissioned, but we would love to see the Harrier in our skies again. If you are an experienced Harrier pilot interested in starting a squadron under the 51st VFW banner, or if you are part of an established Harrier group looking for a home, we would love to hear from you.) RedFor (We don't have an official RedFor unit yet, but we are collecting lone wolf mercenaries who are interested in participating in our occasional PVP scenarios.) ■FAQs■ Question: Are you a zero to hero training group? Answer: Not quite. Some skills in DCS can be practiced in single player, such as take offs, landings, aerial refueling, basic avionics, navigation, and weapon usage. We hope that any 51st VFW applicants have those types of single player skills mostly squared away with reasonable competency. Everything else that involves other human players, such as tactics, 51st VFW standard operating procedures, and COMMs/brevity, can all be taught in a zero to hero style. TL;DR, just know your aircraft, and we'll teach you how to be part of our team. ARE YOU READY TO TAKE ON THE NEXT CHALLENGE? ■APPLY■ https://discord.gg/51stvfw ■WATCH■
