...in german territory...alone...in..March 1917...is this working as intended, a poor guy flying alone in enemy territory with a paper craft Roland Garros was flying in 1915? He was an ace, no a poor guy lost while training at home after all...

Today with my 4 wingmen in our Airco DH2s we shot down a poor german ace in a Fokker EIII (Max Ritter von Mulzen) who was on a lone wolf patrol over the front.

The Morane L was gone by that time, but it's successor, the Type P, was still in service, despite being obsolescent by mid 1916. WOFF uses the L, which we have, for the P, which we don't. The P were still in service in the fall of 1917. However, I've looked through the datafiles, and can't find it. Do you know what unit you saw it with ?

As soon as I have claim confirmed I will post a pic...

I shot down a N-17 Ace,but flack got in the last hit ? anyway I parked by crash. Although I hit the e/a numerous time at 200 100 m ( U could see the dust and frabic coming off. No Victory no claim promt nothing so guess the flack people got credit.

Historically, there were a lot of special missions involving the landing or the boarding of agents in enemy occupied territory...so, bug or not,you could imagine having downed one of them ;-) !

Since I'm using your wonderful clouds mod, may I ask if you wouldn't be the same Aris who made us these great graphic mods and vehicles for Combat Mission ?

He is the One.

Then hats off and thank you Aris for these mods, think I have all of them in CMBN and CMFI. Fantastic job on these vehicles !

That's one of the hardest things for any sim to handle- the hundreds of variations in aircraft that would be at the front at any given time. One could spend years developing just the variations of aircraft to make a fairly complete simulation, and work on nothing else. Nobody could sustain that in making a game. Other sections of it would be obsolete by the standards of technology by the time the work on the hundreds of variety of aircraft would be done.

I think the very best that can be done is to, as WOFF has done, use "stand in" aircraft to handle variant types the situation. Granted, you can develop more aircraft and fill in as time goes, but since the very first days of historical flight sims, nailing down the wide variety of aircraft and variant aircraft has been a battle.

Thanks Aris,
I checked my WOFF datafiles, and 3 RFC is flying the Parasol until it is replaced with Camels in October '17. Checked that against the historical record, and the Parasol is what they were flying (but the P, rather than the L). Poor buggers.
Cheers,

BTW, my pilot was dead after a glorious, 21h record. In fact just after this mission, It'HARD to be an Albatros Pilot in WOFF.

Apparently not as hard as it is to be flying for the RFC 3rd squadron in the middle of 1917

What caused the month-long gaps between october-december and january-march? Did you set up "leave" manually during that time, or were they long-term injuries?

At that time , I modified the realism settings so I couldn`t die in campaign.
