Who We Are.
Established in 2017, we’re a DCS A-10C II squadron that trains and fights using USAF documentation, procedures, and real world SMEs as our guides. We pride ourselves on being the most experienced and capable attack pilots in DCS - a product of our guiding principle to cultivate a community of experts. Our pilots have thousands of hours and decades of combined experience flying the A-10C, during which we have encountered nearly every conceivable threat, mission objective, checklist, and DCS: World bug one can imagine.

What We Do.
Combat Mission Ready qualified pilots fly sorties employing tactics, techniques, and procedures used in the real world today utilizing skills and knowledge acquired in our training pipeline. We teach, brief, and use realistic radio procedures, tactical formations, weapon employment profiles, and many other items to make the simulation experience feel as real and as immersive as possible.
