Hey guys,

Taking advantage of the sale here and wanted the full American fighter experience. But I couldn't seem to make a career choice with any of the American squadrons despite being able to filter by them.

Have the Yanks not been added to the Career mode?

Also, having the Pup, the Camel, and the SE-5, I had thought to play the war from end to end as a Brit. I know that there must be a gap on the lower end, but will I be able to play the full war otherwise with what I have currently?

Thanks!

Deacon

For the western front map you get to fly with the 103rd, 93rd, 94th, 95th, 96th Aero sqns flying Nieuport 28's or Spad 13's.
And on the channel map you fly with the 103rd in Spad 7's or 17sqn with Camels.... I think thats the only choices, and all in 1918 of course from about March onwards smile

I'm not really up on the Allied side of ROF but, for the British, adding the D.h.2 and Nieuport 17 would give you the best chance full career (I think).

My books are packed away but a quick look on the net

McCudden flew fe-2,dh-2,Sopwith Pup and S.E.5

Mannock Nieuport 17 and S.E.5a

Bell B.E.2c, Nieuport 16 (not ingame), Nieuport 17 and the S.E.5a

* little distracted, playing as an Observer in a DFW and am current watching "Otto" attempt to land a bit shot up after running into 4 N17. (got one for sure)...whew landed.

Thanks guys!

Strange, but I can't seem to select any "Aero" squadrons on the map in Career Mode....must be doing something wrong.

Ugh, nevermind! I had selected the timeframe with the slider, but hadn't clicked on a day. Once I did, it worked fine.

What threw me was that there were squadrons displayed on the map....of what criteria I don't know. But they weren't American.

Good to know about the Brit planes though.

There's also the 27th Aero on the Western Front map.
