Okay, new campaign, with same pilot. Bigglesworth in his "Superbébe" over Ypres, October 1916.


Thanks to the "Superbébe", the (first) Fokker Scourge comes to an end. The Eindeckers is no match for the Nieuport 17, although they still put up a real fight sometimes (notice the bullethole in my wing...)

Superbebe?

I really do not like the Nieuports, they carry very little ammo, but for that price you get a hell of a turn ratio, the thing surprised me in its perfomance.

But they're small, and hard to hit, something the Germans will learn soon enough:p

Furball near Arras in December 1916.

And here is Captain James Bigglesworths first kill in his brand new Sopwith Pup!

And they also have severe wing problems in dives and sudden twists and turns.

Default JG1 takes on a Tommy flight



How's that for a slice of fried gold?

Screenshot taken in my current career:

Hptm. Maximilian Julius Fritz von Doppelmayer
August 1918

We shot them all down (I got 3, one of which was shared with Lt. Alois Becker), and only lost a single man, being Oblt. Kurt Wehner due to an engine fire (bailed out and fell to his death).

We're quite successful so far, and those kills now bring my tally to 66. Hopefully, I'll live long enough to oust old Richthofen's score. I have full confidence that the German Imperial Military Force will dominate all of Europe in the end. We've come a long way since 1918, and things are only getting better. Perhaps we'll give Tommy another good lashing in the air!

You just stay away from RNAS-8, and you'll be fine

Your naval squadrons are a joke! I find a seagull to be more effective.

Well at least you did them some damage. Tell me, were you killed or captured... or worse... maimed?

I'm on my way up to the top. This is some good stats!


And as you can see, we on RNAS-8 take a pretty serious look on our duties...

After my last Aircraft was Shot up leaving me grounded for a little while the high command gave me a new AlbatrosDII to take up in the air to seek my revenge!

and look what I found, 3 Nieups for me to have fun with



They where close to my base so I hope someone on the ground enjoyed the show, I landed succesfully after claiming 3 nieups and was low on ammo to hunt for more

and added 3 claims:
