Hello, and welcome to the SPAD SQUAD official thread! We are a new squadron created on February 23, 2020, and we are always recruiting new members! Normally we use the invitation system, but we also accept requests. In this squadron you will find very good pilots who can be considered as 'young talents' because of their low rank (nearly no one in this squadron is over rank 30 currently) and their flying skills.
Why is the squad called like that? This was going to be a tribute to all those 'little killers' who can be found in WW1 rooms, and who sadly leave the game in most cases. Little killers usually aren't subscribed and can't buy premium aircraft, so their main planes are the SPAD XIII and the Pfalz D.III. Because most premiums like Germany, their regular plane is the allied, in this case the SPAD. I was one of them, and that plane made me an ace (believe me, it's a good plane, I've brought down lots of jets with it).
We don't have a true military structure: there is a MORAF, a co-MORAF who helps the boss, and the rest of pilots. The only functions of the MORAFs are recruiting new members and kicking those who don't play or do something illegal.
This squadron is only for active players, so if you are going to stay without playing for a while, please connect at least once per week to make us know you are still there and didn't left the game. You don't even have to enter in a match, just by opening the game and entering multiplayer your last seen date will be set as "Today".
Remember that this is YOUR squadron, so feel free to post here. Our thread is also open for people who aren't in our little group.
RULES:
1. The basics: no swearing, no teamkilling, no spawnkilling... to stay in the game without being banned.
2. RESPECT the noobs, help them when they ask for info if you can. The SPAD SQUAD is like a school squad, SO THIS IS NON NEGOTIABLE.
3. Shoooting your squadron mates is allowed.
Because the rules are very soft, most infractions are very grave and will result in an immediate expulsion. Only two guys heve been kicked, so don't worry.
ETHICS:
Ethics aren't like rules, you don't have to follow them. However, if you want to be a true SPAD Squader, you'll have to follow some.
1. Fly ALL your planes, not only the best you have, to show the enemy that you don't need a jet to beat him.
2. Sneaking is allowed, but don't do it if your team is much bigger than the other.
3. We carry our bombs in bombing missions, however you can drop them if you need to defend your base (when you finish, reload again).
4. Most of us do NEVER spawnkill (that includes the 'bomb run exception'), but it's allowed (only for that exception).
5. If you aren't going to shoot a squadron mate in a dogfight match, go far of his position, don't bully anyone. JET EXCEPTION: You are allowed to provide cover to other WW1 aircrafts if a jet or something like that is bullying them.
6. Cover your teammates, especially the ones with the worse aircrafts.
7. It's OK if you want to avoid someone's head on attack, but if his plane is worse than yours, don't shoot him at the back or turnfight, because he has no chance of defending.
8. An Anti-Jet Unit is going to be created. We'll specify more in the future, but the idea is to use FW-190's, P-51's... only for destroying bullies.
