Olham 164 Posted July 12, 2009 (edited) Just had a dogfight with those Nupe 17 Lewis from RFC-1 again. Being THAT close behind one, he dives away. Me, I went after him (hearing Pol say in the back of my mind: there, he's doing it again!). Pulling out of his dive, I got him! But - cracks - my right wingtip was suddenly missing. The good was: it broke off AFTER the V-strut, without ripping away the aileron cables. That gave me the chance to land my damaged craft half a mile behind our lines, near an armycamp. Was it by chance, or did you devs change it a little for Olham's (and every Albatros pilot's) sake? If so: a big fat THANK YOU! I know they had breaking wings; but as some pilots still made it home, I think it's fairer this way. Edit/PS: oh, by the way - my tank ran dry in mid air, as you can see!

Duce Lewis 3 Posted July 13, 2009 Pulling out of his dive, I got him! But - cracks - my rightwingtip was suddenly missing. The good was: it broke off AFTER the V-strut, without ripping away the aileron cables. That gave me the chance to land my damaged craft half a mile behind our lines, near an armycamp. Oh some guys have all the luck! Just lost my best pilot, Johann Stachen , last night - 12.75 hours Got into a scrap with some Se's across the lines, outnumbered 6:3 Against my new strategy, but we were escorting Hannovers and the twits flew right over tham B & Z'd them but rolling off the 3rd pullout, Crr-rack! somethin nailed me Broke off right at the wing root - BALLS!! Managed to get some semblance of control but it kicked me to the OFF Manager "Landed behind enemy lines. Captured for the Duration" Didnt even get a chance to set her down Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Olham 164 Posted July 13, 2009 Tch - the best men... Sorry for you, Duce! What did you fly? With an Albatros DIII, you can turn fight with S.E.5s - that BnZ shows your rear to them too often. Yes, the manager does that sometimes, but only, when the craft becomes unflyable - so you would have crashed with it anyway. Those two seater crews are really following their orders spott on, and if they had to fly into a cloud of Camels. Wish you more luck with the next one - we keep growing that way!
