UK_Widowmaker 571 Posted May 4, 2010 (edited) Nicely done We've updated and added many new skins for the Pup - all ready for a future release Great stuff...I am running out of Historical Skins to do now anyway...I have exhausted my 'Google images' to the point that there are none left! I am now resorting to stealing the ideas of skinners from other WW1 forums to feed my incurable lust to skin!!! (nice shot Olham btw) Edited May 4, 2010 by UK_Widowmaker Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Olham 164 Posted May 4, 2010 Third pilot with "The Storcks" was more lucky - he got one Albatros D.II down. Was to stressed to make a screenshot - but here is our starting run. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Olham 164 Posted May 4, 2010 Playing around in Photoshop, my above screenshot of the SPAD VII reminded me more and more of the paintings by William Turner. Just for fun... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Duce Lewis 3 Posted May 4, 2010 No luck with Escadrille 3 so far - this is the second pilot I lost there within three flights. The top right craft is an Albatros D.III I was chasing. I flew the left SPAD. The craft in the middle was a mad egotistic wingman from A-flight, cutting into my fight like a bag of beans, shooting up the Albatros, so that it chrashed into my plane. The Storks must be an Elite Squad They'll shoot through you, run into you, cut you off ...whatever it takes to poach a victory! I find Average or Good Squads are the most polite while still maintaining enough skill to dogfight effectively I fly Jasta 7, July 24th, and rarely get cut off by my flight mates The Aces of A Flight however are ruthless poachers But I get even by writing nasty things about them in my Claim Reports!

Olham 164 Posted May 6, 2010 (edited) I have today started a campaign with Jasta 11, the Staffel of the Red Battleflyer. I started with the introductin of the stronger version of the Albatros D.III, in April 1917. And I have never before met so many aircraft in early 1917 as today. I had warped the airfield-circles part, so I was patroling 2000 feet lower than the 1. Gruppe, led by Otto Brauneck. First we saw 5 R.E.8 bombers, but Brauneck let them pass, and so did we. Then I saw two flights of Nieuport 17, 5 or 6 craft in each flight, one probably British. But they passed us, and Brauneck proceeded to the patrol area east of Arras. When another flight of 10 British Nieuports appeared and approached us mid level between Brauneck's and my flight, he engaged with his only 3 Albatros, forcing us to join in. Now it showed, that we were an elite untit. Together with my 5 craft, we had 8 fighters against 10 British, and since I had activated labels for a check, I saw at least 4 ace names! They fought really well, but in the end, no Nieuport returned home, whilst we had only lost 5 aircraft, and only one pilot was missing in action after all. Personally, I have shot down the RFC ace Tom Falcon Hazell. On our return flight, more and more of our Albatros re-united - a picture, that can touch your heart! Now I spotted Flak again, and saw a single Sopwith Pup approaching from our heartland. I turned left to meet the suicidal pilot. But suddenly it was raining Albatros D.III from high above: Jasta 18 had also seen the easy meat and jumped the poor Crumpet, before I got there. Proceeding on our way home, we then saw 6 DFW C.V and 5 Roland "Walfisch" circling over a town. When we had almost reached our field, I saw 8 more Albatros D.III passing over high. As I said: never before have I seen so many craft so early in 1917. PS: I had shot down or at least badly damaged two or three craft in our fight, but claimed only one, according to my DiD Rule: only one claim per group of aircraft I fight.

Olham 164 Posted May 8, 2010 Started a campaign with Escadrille 48 (simply because I like their emblem a lot). I made me a skin with a number, that wasn't amongst the aces from the sim, which was the "5" - and flew it will "personalised skin" (no fuel management). First we met Albatros D Va from Jasta 9 and engaged them from high above. Then, other Albatros appeared out of nowhere. But my Escadrille managed to fight them all quite well, and I shot down German ace Walter Blume. Short after that fight, we spotted Hannovers high, and climbed after them. We might not have reached them, if they hadn't come down to attack an army camp. We engaged, but they were very aggressively defending their skins! I couldn't down mine, cause my ammo ran out. The SPAD is a wonderful fighter with a lot of power. I feel very confident in her. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Olham 164 Posted May 8, 2010 Yes, they can be quite eager and mean sometimes to get the kills, nbryant! That is a beautiful skin on your SPAD - is it from the sim, or did you change it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nbryant 8 Posted May 8, 2010 Did it thanks to the tips you offered. Thank you sir! It needs work but I am using it as a training bed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
