Here's a fun little flight. We are patrolling friendly lines east of Niewpoort when Flt. Cmdr. Mack signaled enemies above us. A flight of Albatros scouts swooped down as we turned to attack. It took me a moment to gather my bearings as we all broke up suddenly. As no one seemed initially interested in me, I got on the tail of one diving after Mack, who was diving after another Albatros. We formed a sort of conga line down to the deck on the German side of the lines... I was surprised to learn the identity of my foe later...
On the way back:
Confirmation came pretty swiftly:
*edit: forgot to mention, the mouse cord got caught in the rudder pedals, that's why the pointer keeps popping up and also why I have such a hard time getting my nose on him at the end!

Nice video and good flying, not sure that in reality it would be so easy to land on a railroad track... These Rolands are tough opponents.

Ha, Rick, that was comfort for a sore Albatros-flyer's soul:
- I see you also have "OverG" in the Pup - I see that even the nimble Pup can get chased around by two-seaters - I see you also got forced to land due to a pierced tank
Thank you for that, Rick - what will you have to drink?

Thanks, guys! corsaire, the Roland is probably my most feared foe, the gunner is crazy accurate and the thing seems to be able to turn like a scout! I was also imagining that I was landing on the shoulder, not the track itself, safer than facing any potential fences, at any rate...
Olham, I'll have a stein of whatever's going, thank you kindly!
*edit: foe, not for!

Yeah, Rolands and, on the other Side, A1 Strutters are Planes, that one should avoid - regardless of what Plane you fly. Problem is, the Game seems to know that, and so they are often attacking @Hellshade: Great Management-Skills on the Tripe-Vid two Pages before. Handling 4 Planes simultaneously gets pretty hectic, normally. You, on the other Hand, make it look like a relaxed Test-Ride :-)
Rick , I finished bottle of Sam Adams "Cold Snap" thinking of you and celebrating a forecast of my local daily high temps above freezing. Hope you found a good spot for that uniform.

??? ..... Is that a joke or are you serious Pol. I must be missing something.
No when I clicked the link when it first went up it showed only our OBD intro movie, now it seems to have a video on it.
You've got me, I sure can't figure that out.

Thanks, man! Truth be told, I would gladly trade spots with you for a while. We are already in the upper 70's. Too soon, too soon!
@ Everyone
Also, I was rushing out the door earlier but wanted to point out that I know we have had discussions about the AI unfairly targeting the player in the past. I think you can see that in the first video, no one will even give me the time of day, let alone willingly attack me, whereas in the second one, every one and their observer turned out for the annual "Everyone Shoot Rother Nought" day.I think it has something to do with proximity and perceived threat...

Yeah very odd
I suspect it's due to some WOFF gremlins!!
