After the last update and some purchased weapons mods, Ive discovered im really enjoying the Nieuport 17 alot more now. I use to hate this plane but The extra top mounted guns make a difference for me. I was never that good with this plane before, but now, its like a whole new plane for me know. Im doing a heck of a lot better now in a close up dogfights.

Plus the rockets just look awesome even though I havent hit anything with them yet.
I may just leave my beloved Se5 behind.

I am quite enjoying the 20MM on the Alby. D.II.

Yes! I'm playing as a gunner much more often.

The rockets are the single most fun addition to RoF since the original DVD version!
I actually downed a plane (human controlled) with them yesterday
I tried MANY times and missed, but on this particular opportunity I dipped below a bomber as he started to turn, then turned into him--put the nose up, and fired away
Very fun!

I'm flying the n11 and n17 now, and I rarely flew them all the way back since their release.

Maybe, but wait until you shoot down a few 2-seaters from beneath, using the foster mount Lewis..

Yes, weapon mod changed my habits

From now on:

Flying Breguet, i always take the upwing Lewis addition
Flying DH4, i always take the 2 frontal Vickers + gunner 2 Lewis
Flying Camel, i always take the wing cutout
Flying DFW, i always take the gunner double parabelum
Flying Spad VII, i always take the upwing Lewis

That's about it for my current rides.
Sometimes the N17 upwing single Lewis, but not always cause of perf losse. As well as Dolphin upward 2 Lewis.

Some weapons are really a handicap...and rockets + additional gun is usually a big perf hit

So am I the only one here who was excited about the single lewis gun for the F.2b? Looks like a fantasy game when I read the above posts.

All of the weapon mods were researched thoroughly mate.. we haven't got anything that didn't exist.
How you choose to use them, (after all, the user has payed for these).. is up to the individual.
Some people will use them just for fun, some will use them in their historical context, everybody wins!

I'm also now flying planes that I really never flew much before at all. The Dolphin, N11 & 17, I no longer have that dreaded fear of attacking bombers any more if I have an upper wing gun and fly like Albert Ball did. Tons of fun. And after all, isn't that why we play these games? To have fun?

Weapons mods? What weapons mods? Where do I find them?
