3./Jagdgeschwader 51 is a virtual fighter unit for the combat flight simulator IL-2 Sturmovik: Forgotten Battles, version 4.09b1m modded. We fly German aircraft for official combat operations. When the scenario permits, the Fw 190 is our primary aircraft. The difficulty settings for these operations are fully realistic. Members are required to have a broadband connection, a decent joystick, a working microphone, Teamspeak2 Client, Teamspeak Overlay, and Hyperlobby Pro.

This unit represents a Staffel, instead of the more common Gruppe. This is to keep the eventual size down for easier management and closer pilot relations. All pilots in this unit are expected to fight with commitment, teamwork, and honor.

I am looking for serious pilots who love to fly German fighter aircraft and have an appreciation for recreating as much realism in the game as possible. Any particular level of skill or experience is not required to enlist. We are eager to train anyone who is willing to learn. I only ask that you are committed to improving yourself and your Staffel.

Training night is Thursday. The starting time for meetings is 9:00 pm, US Eastern Time. The US Eastern time zone is GMT -5 during standard time, and GMT -4 during daylight savings time, so make sure your schedule fits well enough before enlisting. This typically means that you need to be living in North America in order to make scheduled events.

We are working on building our reputation amongst the IL-2: FB community. Currently, we are active in the Forgotten Skies online war every Sunday, Tuesday, and Friday evening at 9:00 pm US Eastern Time. We also welcome any inter-squad challenges by appointment.
