13 years of S3s
   

The Squad Select Series is a player organized event in WarBirds that simulates the large-scale battles fought between opposing Air Forces during The Second World War. Fast and furious since 1998 the S3s are one of the internets oldest and longest running multi-player events with detailed planning and intense periods of combat. Everything is based upon the squad, flying realistically and playing with honor. Players have thousands of hours of online combat and are some of the most experienced and deadly virtual pilots out there. Awards and cumulative scoring allow each player to track their career and squad exploits over the years.

For those wanting more than a silly furball at a thousand feet join the S3s and fly a combat mission in WW2. All squads are welcome and lone wolves can post on our forum to find a squad to fly with. New pilots register on our forum and post your name here and many squads will approach you and help you get the most out of your online experience.

For our 13th season, the S3s are back our historical base with more moment in time events than wargames. We switch it up to keep the hardcores interested and hearts kicking.

S3 #74 - Carrier Captains; PTO 1942

War rages in the Pacific as both the US and Japan try and surprise and destroy their rival carrier fleets. It is a game of cat and mouse trying to locate and sink the enemy CVs before they have the chance to retaliate. The future of the Pacific War hangs in the balance and will be decided in 1942.

Four carrier teams manage their carrier groups and aircraft while attempting to sink those of the enemy. It is crucial that CV landings are practiced and practiced again as each a/c lost will hurt their sides ability to launch strikes and protect themselves. Luck will play a role in placement but it is the side that husbands their resources the best that will ultimately win.

Series begins April 15th in the S3 Arena using the Malta 256 terrain.
