I had a question out of curiosity.
I recently, shot down an aircraft that the tac view labelled "DIII (160)".
Having never seen the "160" before, I wondered if this was the indication of the regular DIII or a DIII OAW as opposed to the DIII Early. Anyway, I entered the claim as a DIII OAW since it seemed sandwiched between the Early and no notation DIII. The claim was rejected.
While I know there are all sorts of reasons that a claim might be rejected, I wondered if I hadn't claimed the wrong type of DIII.
So, to the questions:
1. Does the claim screen nomenclature match that of the tac view?
2. If not, then what does a DIII (160) translate to? For that matter how about the OAW version?
3. Will a claim be rejected for a minor claim error like this? That seems a bit hair splitting.
4. In light of whatever the first three answers are and especially for those who play "full real" without a tac view, what are the main visual identifiers of each type?
The intel view in April 1917 shows DIIs IIIs, and III Earlys being present, so there is definitely the opportunity to misidentify your adversary.
Thanks for the discussion!

The current "Easy" is the old "Normal" in regards to debriefing info.
SO the Easy setting is the old realistic setting? Maybe that's why I see alot more claims rejected than previously..infact I never had a claim rejected in previous pre 2.08 versions unless I picked a flight member not actually flying by mistake.

Duke why do you not have the Skins at full real?
If it's due to Aces not actually dying I don't really think that effects the game and makes it easier..plus for me losing the skins is o big a price to pay..I'd rather see historical looking planes than worry about Aces. I see the planes alot more than I do an Ace that may have already been shot down. It was more OCD'ness on my part thinking if I can't see them (in detail) then just the squadron paint job (from there being no HA's) is good enough from the cockpit view. But now that the weather is getting nicer (spring time in game) I am seeing a little better so may go back to "Stock HA's" all around. Hopefully this is not the start of a "slow slide" back to cinematic WOFF! This has been tough - WOFF sure is pretty!

Poor OBD! This is not to chap anyone here, and I have complained loudly in the past, but it seems they can't just make everyone happy with the Claim System.
Having been through many years of it and in several forms it seems to me they have enough options that all should be satisfied. This is not to say the claim logic on "Normal" couldn't use a tweak but with it, "Easier" (which I have started to now use), and "Easiest" there should certainly be something useable for everyone at this point.
EDIT: Oh...and thanks for the kick in the arse Wodin. HA's are back in play. Love alternate ideas and opinions as I reevaluate constantly.
