Sorry to be double posting, just seeing if this challenge is still on, we're good and ready with anywhere from 1 to 8 of our guys ready to go.
It might be nice to take on a team that has some skill, we've never had a challenge in Ace Combat...the opposition has never actually ever put up a fight against us, but this is new to us, so it would be nice to test ourselves for once. Look forward too it House MD 221B.

Most of our current membership is on Xbox 360, we are also on PS3, but our numbers there are on only in the single digits. The CO of that particular wing, Draux, happens to have both consoles and will be able to play both groups.
We are a team from Ace Combat, which was on PS2, and then to the 360. Of our membership, we have a little bit over 100 members, with about 50 of them active on Ace Combat. Of that group, around 15 or so have gotten IL2 and have been playing rather fervently. Personally, I do not have the game, I'm focusing my efforts on Modern Warfare 2, and prepping our team for a makeover concerning the game. IL:2 is meant to be another game that our guys can play that has that feel of realism, luckily for us, this one actually plays realistically (something we dont get with Ace Combat 6.) Given the number of registrations on our forums, and the people that are considering us...I'm looking at about 15-20 active users on our PS3 group and 30ish on our IL:2 group, if I'm being generous. Given the niche market of this game, and the fact that this is not a game that a lot of people can just pick up and play (and will therefore get frustrated in online...) I'm assuming we will be around 20 xbox, 10 or so PS3, should we choose to advertise ourselves by word of mouth, instead of actively recruit...

we have?
Good to know. I'm not directly in this game yet, you'll have to excuse me. So far as I understand, one of our members is 4th on Arcade Team Battle, and has been tossing the number 1 slot on several occasions (a booster with the gamertag "gooniepl"). Our guys, from what I've been informed of, are more akin to Realistic mode. Several of our members are in the top 10 on leaderboards. Given that leaderboards are completely based on kills....I dont think this really gives a good idea of where skill is based on. I am a stern believer in K/D spread as an indication of skill. We've learned in Ace Combat that points are the way to go, and though our members legitimately got their rankings, most of the top guys "boost" by using the worst ranking airframe in the game, and work to shoot down the top point based airframe with Guns. This system is on IL:2 BoP is a lot nicer, but still gives no true indication of skill. Obviously, it will be nice to play against people who have an appreciation for this kind of thing. Hope we get a challenge! We've been looking for one for about 8 years now. New game, new possibilities. Look forward too it, trk29  .Again, anyone wanting to get some games in, please contact Draux, he is the S&S CO for our "Preservation Wing." Thanks guys!

Great, I have been looking for a challenge, Im on the top 2 for everything on realistic and top 3 for simulation. Im with V.A.S hopefully I can face serious players now. There is a way to calculate a player skill by taking into consideration games played, kills, and percentage of efficiency. There is a guy that is really good on sim (PSN = whatsablacksheep) maube he is one of your guys.
B.T.W. you guys seem very professional in what you do I would be interested in joining Operation Flashpoint 2 squads if you will cover that game.

We havent gotten our PS3 guys up, most of our members are based on 360 at this current junction...unfortunately due to the AC6 release on 360 as an exclusive.
To answer your question on Operation Flashpoint, we are in fact doing a group for them. 1st MSOC for 360 and 2nd MSOC for PS3. As always, check out our website, www.sinsandsaints.org Thanks!

I must say that I am rather disappointed as your initial post for this group lead me to think you were a decent group of players. I final got into a MP room (after 4 days of trying) which had only a few guys sporting your clan tag and was promptly told to leave. I don't know how anyone thinks this game will ever have a decent MP community with this kind of attitude towards people outside of your regular group.
