"Bordeauxred Baron" shot Polovski down

[Olham]

"Vee vere flyink from der Montingen Flugplatz south to attack der Toul aerodrome,

venn vee vere attacked by some French Nieuport N24. Ze furrball began!

I had peppered a French craft already, venn I suddenly read "Le Pol" on ze side!

Vass zatt ze famous Polovski from der OBD Team???

Vould I now be held responzible for der P4 nott makink any progress, ant der

aircraft not gettink ready?!?

Vell, I did my best ant made sure, zatt "Le Pol" vass nott shot at any furzer,

ant I tried to guide him home. Unfortshunately, he crashed little later...

Pleeaze, believe me: I did not vant zatt too happen!

Can anyone forgiv me, or vill I now bee chased by der whole OFF community?

I am so sorry!

 

Sincerely! Your "Bordeauxred Baron"

 

 

[Hasse Wind]

Oh no, now we have no choice left but to stone you for you shameful act, Olham! (Now I really hope the below vid is not blocked by the solicitors in Germany...)

 

Seriously speaking, who's Nupe was that?

 

[Olham]

Wonderful! And it was available in Germany!!!

 

Now to the Nupe: I don't know, who's craft that was - I had "Labels" still deaktived from my last "K vs C" flight. Sorry.

[sandbagger]

Ahhh - I wondered when 'Le Pol' would be seen - actually it's a ficticious

Marking for that squad and is dedicated to Polovski - I think you'll be safe as the real Polovski is way to busy on phase 4 to fly !!

[Olham]

No joke??? Hey, that was a good one!

So I only shot down a gofer? What a relief! Hasse Wind and Rickitycrate would never forgive me,

if they'd never ever get their Gothas and other two-seaters.

[Rickitycrate]

Good for you Herr Olham, you have found an "Easter Egg" of sorts. Better still Pol survives to complete his work. I'm looking forward to more P4 pics.

Sandbagger,

 

Do any of the other team members have ficticious markings dedicated to them?

 

Thanks

Nieuport Le Pol can be found in Nieuport 24bis file, as Esc 23 1917

Sandbagger,

Thanks

If I remember correctly, both 'Shredward' and 'Winder' have dedications in-game, although I can't recall which entente aircraft they're on - possibly Spad X.III and Sopwith Camel

[+Polovski]

LOL thanks for making that Sandbagger! Olham pity you filled it full of holes though and it got a fair bit of mud from the crash lol. My P4 work has slowed a little due to that crash - I am having touble with pain in my wrist so must be that!

[Olham]

I'll never do it again - now I know what to look for.

Good that no one knows where I live in Berlin - they would send bombers after this!

I'm glad I didn't hit you, and wish you good recovery.

As long as you are hampered, spend some time with the family then, okay?

[+Polovski]

Thanks Olham - no worries shoot away that's what we are in it for ;).

[Olham]

Pol: ...no worries shoot away that's what we are in it for

 

That's what I thought - that's what I call English Sportsgeist*! The next drinks are on me!

 

*sportsmanship

[Slartibartfast]

Well we English like for it to be sporting old Chap...

...hee, hee...now I will have to go hunting for this myself. How many other little tips of the hat might be discovered over the course of an OFF career, I wonder.

 

.

[Olham]

Well, as Sandbagger said - there are also "tips of the hat" for Winder and Shredward hidden somewhere.

A good reason to fly many squadrons and search for them.

And whoever finds them: please report with screenshot!

[Guest British_eh]

Great stuff Sandbager, and wow Olham, how on earth did you spot that??????

 

Great you could get a pic of it too.

 

Cheers,

 

British_eh

[Olham]

How I spotted it? I went as close as usual, when shooting someone up,

plus the damaged Nupes always seem to seek to hugg my Albatros.

[Rickitycrate]

Olham, did you mean hug your Albatrass?

[RAF_Louvert]

.

 

This might be getting just a taaaaaaaaaad too personal.

 

.

[Olham]

Yes, I meant "to hug" - especially Nieuport, when shot up, have the tendency to crash into my kite.

Now you guys got me worried, what that wrongly written word would mean?

It must be something, that they didn't want to put into LEO Dictionary? ...

[Herr Prop-Wasche]

I believe they are referring to your rear-end, bum, or a&@, Olham!

[Rickitycrate]

They fly so close they get right up your derrierre.

[Olham]

Ahem - no - the French? Didn't know that!

One letter too many or too few can make a dangerous difference, it seems!
