Pilots jumping out of SPAD XIII ?

Recommended Posts

Was doing some QC with the same mission in order to see effects of tweaking settings, and was flying DVII vs. SPAD XIII.

 

My wingies (veteran setting) were virtually sharks in the air, all over the SPADs (ace setting), and I barely got a shot in edgewise. I witnessed one SPAD pilot jumping from his spinning and damaged machine. I didn't believe what I saw and froze the game to look, and sure enough, there was the pilot skydiving!

 

I ran the QC mission again immediately without exiting QC, and witnessed the skydiving pilot phenomena again!

I have NEVER seen this before, has anyone else in a different machine?

 

ALSO, the flight model for the DVII seems very different between QC and campaign, but can't figure out how that would be.

Yes, and wait until the moment comes when you find yourself within wrench-throwing range, you fire a burst and hear the pilot cry out and the plane starts down.

Oh yah, seen/heard that pilot scream several times. Not sure how I feel about that, very strange effect.

 

Also, I've never seen an aircraft literally explode before my eyes, I must have hit that SPAD in the upper wing gas tank, it just fell to pieces... Wow, what a rush! :victory:

Especially since it doesn't happen all that often. Surprises you as much as the enemy pilot!

B Bandy - they do jump sometimes. Maybe better than to burn (read my post in "Peports from the front" above).
