Olham Posted April 7, 2011 Posted April 7, 2011 I just went through the French squadrons on search for the "reepers" I had met earlier today. Down the list, I came to Escadrilles flying the Nieuport N24. I began to wonder - I had never seen those in anyone's combat reports or screenshots. So: does anyone fly a campaign with any of these: Bristol Scout, N 24; DH-5; E.V (D.VIII); N 28 ? Quote
Hasse Wind Posted April 7, 2011 Posted April 7, 2011 I've tried all of those in campaign mode, except the E.V. I've actually flown a lot with all the Nupes. It's just that I never write combat reports. The Nupes are great fighters, all of them. Quote
TaillyHo Posted April 9, 2011 Posted April 9, 2011 So: does anyone fly a campaign with any of these: Bristol Scout, N 24; DH-5; E.V (D.VIII); N 28 ? Only the first mentioned (so far). Last pilot managed only 11 hours (but his 10 confirmed victories & 25% accuracy was pleasing). My replacement in that time period (mid 1915) is my first 'adventure' in the Quirk (18 hours, 3 confirmed victories), but if he survives from 1 June to mid-August I intend to transfer to a Scout sqd again. I haven't come across the others you mention because I haven't got that far into the war. Quote
Olham Posted April 9, 2011 Author Posted April 9, 2011 TaillyHo, you want it the tough way, eyh? Always start again in 1915, until one pilot will survive long enough? I gave that up long ago. Quote
TaillyHo Posted April 9, 2011 Posted April 9, 2011 Well I know it looks like that, but I'm more interested in getting a favourable 'match' with co-located (in time) opponents, irrespective of the period in the war. Then as I (hopefully) improve as a pilot, I can select more even match-ups as well as moving more towards the SIA settings - until I get to stage where I seek to be the under-dog and have settings at DiD. Well, that's my cunning plan at any rate. If that can happen in something like a chronological progression, that would add to my sense of 'progress', but I realise there will be some jumping around in time - and nationalities! Quote
Olham Posted April 10, 2011 Author Posted April 10, 2011 Aaaaahhhh - a very cool and complex plan of strategy! Quote
JFM Posted April 10, 2011 Posted April 10, 2011 I've only had two missions in my DH5 campaign and it's a miracle I survived both. Quote
