"Hi There,


I'm Pierre Wolf. Project Vodka* is a soviet themed squadron actually in development. The project is to create a beginner-friendly wing that may serve as a first multiplayer experience for DCS loneplayer. We have a Mig-21 squadron nearly operationnal and started preliminary work for CAS/Heli platforms.

*name subject to change.


We are looking forward for 1 - 2 experienced Mi-8 pilot for our upcoming light attack squadron.

We look forward to the following :

Native or very good english.
already played Mi-8 in MP games.
Solid experience as Mi-8 pilot
Willing to help grow the community
Europe based (well, all the country in the southern emisphere are fine too, it's just a question of timezone)
18+

Task will be to advise and assist the creation of the Light Helicopter tactics and squadron. This will be a mixed Ka-50/Mi-8 squad.
If you wanted to devellop a squadron but did not felt confortable doing it alone, this is your chance ! We already enjoy the Mi-8 on a regular basis.
Squadron development will start in January.
We usually fly week time, evening after dinner. sometimes on weekend when wifes allows !
Beside Russian themed planes, we keep a "fun week" for all of our guys to fly other planes so don't worry about the upcoming mirage or gazelle taking dust.

For the others who hope for a Mi-8 squadron, hang in there ! We know how thrilling it is to land a pack of helis in the heat of the battle. Work has already started, We'll do our best to make that happen soon but we want to do it good !


Best Regards,

Pierre."

Slazia's Mi-8 Deathmatch

4 slots for Mi-8s to fight with UPKs in a fixed lit arena.
4 huey spectator slots - they cannot enter the arena.
Additional free flight slots for pilots waiting for op.

This is not serious test of skill, just a bit of fun. Any skill level welcome. Hope to see some of you there!

Not a serious mission, but should be fun.
