El escuadron Nro 164 de la RAF
Mas conocido tambien por el "Argentine British Squadron", este se componia de voluntariados argentinos para luchar en la fuerza aerea britanica, sus funciones fueron de caza y cazabombardero. Su lema "Firmes Volamos"
Se creo en 1918, pero debido a que no recibio aviones fue disuelto y vuelto a formar en 1942 equipada con aviones Spitfire Mk AVs recibidos a principios de mayo de ese año.
Las operaciones de ataque a tierra comenzaron en junio de 1943. Sus objetivos eran principalmente la navegación y los objetivos costeros del enemigo, para lo cual utilizaron aviones Typhoon armados con cohetes. También atacaron las comunicaciones, estaciones de radar y transportes enemigas, en la preparación para la invasión de Europa. Después de proveer apoyo a las fuerzas de desembarco desde el Sur de Inglaterra en junio de 1944, el escuadrón pasó a Francia en julio. Durante la batalla de Normandía, el 164° usó sus cohetes contra los vehículos blindados enemigos en el área de batalla (siendo los primeros en usar esto), para posteriormente avanzar por el norte de Francia y Bélgica, en apoyo del británico-canadiense 21° Grupo del Ejército británico. Durante los meses restantes de la guerra, el escuadrón realizó barridos de reconocimiento, atacando unidades de transporte y tanques enemigos, y en abril de 1945 fue trasladado a su primera base alemana. Poco después del final de la guerra, su base retornó al Reino Unido y se re-equipó a la unidad con aviones Spitfire del 453° Escuadrón de la RAF.
El 31 de agosto de 1946, la escuadrilla fue vuelta a numerar como el 63° Escuadrón de la RAF.

The 164 Squadron of the RAF
Also known by the "Argentine British Squadron", this was made up of Argentine volunteers to fight in the British air force, its functions were hunting and fighter-bomber. His motto "Firmes Volamos" (Firmly we fly)
It was created in 1918, but because it didn't receive aircrafts it was disbanded and re-formed in 1942 equipped with Spitfire Mk AVs aircraft received in early May of that year.
The ground attack operations began in June 1943. Their objectives were mainly the navigation and the enemy's coastal objectives, for which they used Typhoon aircraft armed with rockets. They also attacked communications, radar stations and enemy transports, in preparation for the invasion of Europe. After providing support to the landing forces from the South of England in June 1944, the squadron went to France in July. During the Battle of Normandy, 164 ° used its rockets against the enemy armored vehicles in the battle area (being the first to use this), to later advance through the north of France and Belgium, in support of the British-Canadian 21 ° British Army Group. During the remaining months of the war, the squadron conducted reconnaissance sweeps, attacking enemy transport units and tanks, and in April 1945 was transferred to its first German base. Shortly after the end of the war, their base returned to the United Kingdom and the unit was re-equipped with Spitfire aircraft from the 453rd RAF Squadron.
On August 31, 1946, the squadron was re-numbered as the 63rd RAF Squadron.

About the game:
USA as a world power? In E-Sim it is possible!
In E-Sim we have a huge, living world, which is a mirror copy of the Earth. Well, maybe not completely mirrored, because the balance of power in this virtual world looks a bit different than in real life. In E-Sim, USA does not have to be a world superpower, It can be efficiently managed as a much smaller country that has entrepreneurial citizens that support it's foundation. Everything depends on the players themselves and how they decide to shape the political map of the game.
Work for the good of your country and see it rise to an empire.
Activities in this game are divided into several modules. First is the economy as a citizen in a country of your choice you must work to earn money, which you will get to spend for example, on food or purchase of weapons which are critical for your progress as a fighter. You will work in either private companies which are owned by players or government companies which are owned by the state. After progressing in the game you will finally get the opportunity to set up your own business and hire other players. If it prospers, we can even change it into a joint-stock company and enter the stock market and get even more money in this way.
In E-Sim, international wars are nothing out of the ordinary.
Become an influential politician.
The second module is a politics. Just like in real life politics in E-Sim are an extremely powerful tool that can be used for your own purposes. From time to time there are elections in the game in which you will not only vote, but also have the ability to run for the head of the party you're in. You can also apply for congress, where once elected you will be given the right to vote on laws proposed by your fellow congress members or your president and propose laws yourself. Voting on laws is important for your country as it can shape the lives of those around you. You can also try to become the head of a given party, and even take part in presidential elections and decide on the shape of the foreign policy of a given state (for example, who to declare war on). Career in politics is obviously not easy and in order to succeed in it, you have to have a good plan and compete for the votes of voters.
You can go bankrupt or become a rich man while playing the stock market.
The international war.
The last and probably the most important module is military. In E-Sim, countries are constantly fighting each other for control over territories which in return grant them access to more valuable raw materials. For this purpose, they form alliances, they fight international wars, but they also have to deal with, for example, uprisings in conquered countries or civil wars, which may explode on their territory. You can also take part in these clashes, although you are also given the opportunity to lead a life as a pacifist who focuses on other activities in the game (for example, running a successful newspaper or selling products).
At the auction you can sell or buy your dream inventory.
E-Sim is a unique browser game. It's creators ensured realistic representation of the mechanisms present in the real world and gave all power to the players who shape the image of the virtual Earth according to their own. So come and join them and help your country achieve its full potential.
Invest, produce and sell - be an entrepreneur in E-Sim.
