You've got it Louvert; I enjoy the early years for exactly the same reason. I would enjoy starting as a Jasta pilot, but I can't handle an EIII to save my life. I'm planning on starting a two seater game soon though...

I've been flying mostly during the earlier years with Esc Laf, and I personally can't understand how EIIIs could have survived very long. Sure, I've been jumped when I get a bad case of target fixation... Normally though, any EIIIs I see in the air are Earth bound quickly. For you guys out there that enjoy the bebe, targeting isn't all that hard - just use the "cap" on the engine cowl and the cross of the wires as aiming points. Ideally you want to close to less than 50' giver or take, and fire at just below the wires. If you are into long range shooting, which is much harder with the tracer mod, firing at a point just above the "cap" usually lands solid at around 250' if I remember correctly...

As I'm finding difficult to adjust from my WW2 flight sim tactics, this advice is priceless - thanks guys, and keep up the good work!

Greetings every one! I just wandered across this game last week, and a coworker and I already have our copies - Good stuff! As for the movie... From what i read during its production, it seemed the Germans were also preoccupied with the reception of a movie glorifying one of their war heroes. So it seemed to me that they dressed it up to better suit audiances that, in many cases, don't know the differences between WW1 and WW2 Germany. All that aside, I was just happy watching a movie about dogfights... I'll take whatever i can get these days.
