Pavel has added the ability to add specific named pilots to the game as part of the Torch expansion work.
The current plan is to include a new 43 Campaign with Torch that includes additional Air HQs for those wanting more air control.

I am happy to add player names to the squadrons as part of that scenario. If you have a relative who served and you want them added I'll put them in too. If you want to be added please post below in the following format:

Name with one initial and the air group you want to be in. e.g. R.Lancer - No.224 RAF Pa Sqn (Please only choose air groups in the 43 Campaign)

I'll probably add experience rating based upon rough Matrix forum post count - WitW testers are all 'aces' of course.

Thanks for doing this.

Okay...count me in. L.Sky

Just kidding....J.Pawlowski II./JG 1

It's the least I can do for the Luftwaffe since I am asking them to fight from the Ruhr in 1944. And for some reason this squadron seems to be doing the best.

My father served in this squadron, decades after the war, when it had been converted into a transport squadron.

For myself, however...

J.Williamson, 442 RCAF.

Thanks again...

It would be great to see some of them maybe become WiW Aces too. :)

Now locking the thread - if you want in you'll need to use the editor.
