I found OFF difficult.  But that was mainly the 'never give in' nature of the AI.  I'm hoping to see less of that.

 

I look forward to a new set of problems.

Just had my first sortie, and yes - it could have been my end already.

A bit dozy after 1 hour of eventless patrol in friendly airspace I landed back a Xivry aerodrome north of Verdun.

Our two Albatros D.II and the other Halberstadt D.II had landed already, and I was the last to glide down.

I was about to touch down, when our Flak began firing like mad.

Instinctively I pushed throttle forward and climbed out of the field.

Quickly checking all around me, I found a blood-freezing vision:

a silvery Nieuport 17 came curving in behind me for the kill!

I could see the blue-white-red roundels - a Tommy pilot!

I was sure I was lost - he couldn't have missed me!

In the next second his craft was torn apart by a direct Flak hit, and it slammed into the ground near our tents.

 

Life and death - only some yards apart from each other - gee, what a debut!

I wonder how big or small my chances are after that...

A very lucky escape by the sounds of it Olham!.... watch your Six  lol

 

I would try that out, but I'm afraid to run into another Englishman, while I look back... :grin:
