You had better look out. While flying RFC24 in Oct. 1916, airfield attack, I spotted this new secret German aircraft at Entrees-en-Chaussee airfielf. I was just getting used to the Halbs and Albs when I spot this thing!

The devs are aware of that and I hope they can eliminate that to happen.
I saw Sopwith Triplanes in July 1916 twice, when there should have been only 1 prototype.
But the Fokker Dr.I in 1916 is even more obviously wrong.

Not griping at all Olham. Too great a sim gripe about triffles. It was just a surprise to come in on a straffing run and fly over an albatross, EIII, then WHAT! I was sure someone had posted something about it.

Not a big problem, as long as they remain on the ground -
to fight them would be a different matter...

Is the WOFF enlistment date for flying a Tripe correct?

No idea, you'd have to check - the craft was first introduced in November 1916.

That sounds about right, I had a pilot advance into one. He was wiped out after a power outage forced me to reinstall WOFF.

Looks like 1916 is a good year for triplanes! biggrin
