History

Who were the 332nd

The 332nd Fighter Group was activated on the 13th of October 1942, and operated until the end of WW2. The group was predominantly manned with African-American personnel, they routinely flew fighter sweeps, ground attack, and of course bomber escort missions. Called the “Tuskegee Airmen”, These airmen made a pioneering contribution to the war and the subsequent drive to end racial segregation in the American armed forces.

The 100th Fighter Squadron was one of the “Tuskegee Airmen” Squadrons during WW2. The 100th mirrors the impact of all the 332nd fighter groups with a few distinctions. Roscoe Brown, who would later be the commander of the 100th, would be known for his duel and victory over a German 262 “JET” fighter plane. Some say it was the first jet fighter downed in aerial combat. The 100th was the ONLY 332nd Squadron to shot down the German 262 Fighter, with their total being 3. The 100th was one of the first units of the 332nd to also employ the Red Tail that is synonyms with the legend of the Tuskegee Airmen. This Squadron in game centers around collectivness and cohesiveness. We are a tight group that have a similar style of play, and routinely house some of the groups most capable pilots.

The 486 RAF (NZ) Squadron were a New Zealand fighter squardron which served in the European Theatre during WWII. Initially flying Hurricanes as nightfighters. In 1942 the 486s subsequently moved to operate the Hawker Typhoon as a dayfighter unit, primarily operating low level fighter sweeps to counter Fw190 andBf109 fighter-bombers. Later in 1943 the squadron shifted to a fighter-bomber role itself. Famously striking the one of Hitler’s secret weapons, the Vergeltungswaffe V3 long range multi-barrel gun. In early 1944 the 48th were re-equipped with Hawker Tempests and tasked with intercepting V1 flying bombs, claiming 223 of the bombs destroyed. The 486th also used tempests in fighter and fighter-bomber roles. In game this squadron focuses on RAF fighter and fighter bomber aircraft including the various models of spitfire, Typhoon and Tempest. We also have a big contingent of Kiwis in the squadron!

The 334th Fighter Squadron, successor to the RAF No.71 Eagle Squadron, was the first group of American pilots to see combat in Europe, participating in the Battle of Britain as No.71 RAF. The “Fighting Eagles” flew Spitfires, P-47 Thunderbolts as well as P-51 Mustangs during the war and became the highest scoring Fighter Squadron of the 4th Fighter Group with 395 Kills. The 4th Fighter Group and its Squadrons escorted bombers, attacked ground targets over France and Germany and performed fighter sweeps, even receiving a Distinguished Unit Citation for their tenacity and efficiency destroying enemy airbases and downing enemy aircraft. In DCS the squadron strives to master their craft in different aircraft performing fighter-sweeps, ground-attacks and bomber-escorts, having fun flying together while maintaining historical accuracy.

The 57th Fighter Group was a group of many firsts: first air unit to fly off an aircraft carrier in force, first US air combat unit in North Africa, and the first to modify the P47 for ground attack use. The unit was known to bring an abnormally high rate of its pilots back from missions in a time and theater where this was hard to do. Making use of the P-40F and K variants against 109F’s and G’s in Africa and later converting to the P-47D series which was used to great effect in Italy during Operation Strangle where large amounts of Axis supply was interdicted and destroyed they played a vital role in the war effort there. In IL-2, the 57th focuses on coordinated ground attack as well as fighter escort and working as a team to achieve objectives while trying to maintain a high survival rate.

Recruitment

Looking to join the 332nd?

In the 332nd virtual fighter group, new members have a 30 day prospecting phase where we get to know you, your availability, and how you fit in. This period gives us time to fly together, assess your skill level, and get wing cohesion built up. It also gives you time to choose a squadron within the group that best suits your play style / plane preference. After the prospecting time is over you’ll become a full member and get to wear the -332FG- tags in game.

Essentially we’re a group of adults (and some younger mature kids), we don’t do drama, we get together, we have fun and fly, we coordinate but not to the point where it’s MilSim and gets annoying / stressful. There are always people available online across various time zones, waiting for a ping from those looking to wing up.
