XVII. Fliegerkorps
The 17th Luftwaffe Flying Corps
The XVII. Fliegerkorps is an online unit. We were founded on 18-May-2014 and made our first official public appearance on 25-Jul-2014. However, our group has a long history of playing a Kriegsmarine simulation and our Luftwaffe work reflects this heritage. We specialise in coastal and maritime bombing operations, typically with German aircraft. We are not adverse to long missions, formation flying and carefully plotted courses over long stretches of featureless land and sea. Our group takes delight in the complex management of the larger aircraft and the constant tweaking and training required for optimal performance.
We believe in winning maps as a team and focus on mission objectives, rather than individual scores and statistics. We strive to play in a realistic manner and use historical tactics and operations. And we do whatever we can to survive our missions and bring our aircraft home safely. The choice of XVII. Fliegerkorps as a unit name was made to match our naval operations and to avoid using an actual historical unit name/number (the real Fliegerkorps during WWII were numbered from I to XIV). And, by using a non-Geschwader organisational unit, we can readily accommodate different aircraft types and participate in campaigns without being at odds with our unit designation.
The aim of the this post is to introduce ourselves to the IL-2 Cliffs of Dover community. No doubt you will see us take to the air (watch for our "xvii-" player tags) and do feel free to fly alongside our bomber groups or as fighter escort. And, if you are interested in joining us, feel free to check our website (http://nordfront.org/xvii).
In closing, you have a fantastic community here and we are delighted to have found it and to join in. So, to the ATAG team, and all the other virtual squadrons... Salute!
