vCUJOv Posted August 17, 2012 Posted August 17, 2012 I've been around A10 for a while and have been in a few different squadrons before. My experience so far.There are squadrons out there that say they implement true to life SOP but after the training period it all comes down to just flying around and blowing $%#@ up. I'm looking for a serious squadron with the "do it right or get a $%^# out mentality. People who don't have to drop a single bomb or fire a single missile to have fun as long as it's done right. I want train lead - wing support tactics, tac turns , brevities etc.. until its a second nature. I would like to learn from someone that really knows the stuff .Anybody?

A squadron that says it is true to reality, yet has a training period, is contradicting itself. The training never stops. Hopefully neither does the learning. I hope you find that you are looking for though, and good luck. Also, be prepared for memorization, repetition, and precision.

Although we currently only support DCS A-10C (we stopped supporting the Ka-50 because lack of interest and applicants) we plan on supporting other DCS level aircraft (fixed and rotary wing), released by ED and 3rd parties so our training is broken down with the hope to eventually include a dedicated trainer ACFT for Initial Qualification Training.

july865 Posted August 17, 2012 Posted August 17, 2012 Although we run our own V-Squadron. i would like to say something about the 476th. Great attitude, very helpful (even to other squads), excellent training program, and a superb group.

Speed Posted September 6, 2012 Posted September 6, 2012 We just formed the Virtual Tactical Air Group after all the DCS pilots left the 1st VFW due to some decisions made by the 1st VFW leaders. We'll be flying everything DCS, and will focus on getting a realistic battlefield experience by integrating ground, fixed wing, and rotary wing human players. http://vtacticalairgroup.com/ Intelligent discourse can only begin with the honest admission of your own fallibility.
