Sorry if this has been asked before, i didn't see the post. So I've been back flying since UE was released and I've noticed that I seem to be flying Entente (British squadrons) almost exclusively, apart from the occasional quick combat I've not given ol Jerry a good go yet. I guess I've been reluctant to give up my Pup or Fee smile

So i was wondering, who do you prefer to fly for? Also Whats your favorite aircraft on both sides to fly?

Which do you preferEntente or Central powers aircraft
single choice

Voted. I've always been a Sopwith Pup guy but I've learned to enjoy the Strutter too. Never thought I'd be a two seater guy! The Brisfit is great fun against the Alb DIIIs and earlier. I must say though that I've been flying an Albatross DI campaign and I just love the rumble of her engines. I can see why Olham enjoy them so much.

Yeah I was giving the biff a fly around the past few days, what an utter joy to fly, was surprised to see how well a 2 seater could dogfight, tonnes of fun!!

I agree about the alby, thats why i was saying i fly them a little in QC, I love the sound of that engine and enjoy tearing about in free flight! smile

My favs have always been the N17 and SE5 series since way back in the Red Baron days... Mannock and I probably would have gotten along famously...probably would have ended up the same way as well, based on my tendency to crawl into the back seat of the recce craft I am shooting at!

It is so strange that I never did fly Entente in RB3d, FE, WoW, and OFF3, only did try some strange looking planes like the DH2. Only in Woff it is 99% Entente.
Another point is that mostly I do fly 2seaters.

50% Albatros types (more challenging if you ask me, specially May 1917 onwards), 20% Pup, Tripes, Se5s, maybe a Nieuport two,..very enjoyable and easier less frustrating,(but less robust and prone to break midair!)..10% Dr.1 (love it), then DVII to feel I am the master of the war. I´d say if you master those Albatros tanks you are proficient to fly everything else (except those evil saddistic Eindekkers,...).

Love the Pup, Tripe, Camel and DH2. Have flown most but these are my go to machines. The reason I like Entente is the colorful Hun machines are just fun to chase!

Unfortunately, my option isn't listed... I fly both on a roughly equal basis. I usually have only one pilot career going at any one time. I like to put my mind in an Entente or Central mode and stay with it until 'DiD'... What side I choose depends on my mood when I create a new career.

The only time I use Quick Combat is to test some aspect of the game or my system, try out a plane that I haven't flown much or to demonstrate the sim to someone who has never seen it.

I fly mostly for Germany, but every now and then I like to amuse myself also with Entente careers. smile

Favourite planes? Fokker D.VII and DFW C.V for Germany, Nieuport 17 and maybe Breguet 14 for Entente.

Se5 and N17 mainly for the Allies. Little Sopwith Camel, N28, and Brisfit. Always have an Fee career ready to go but never get around to it.

For the Germans the Alb DIII but getting much more Dr.1 time in with UE.

If pressed probably 60/40 numbers wise for the Allies in stick time. Wish there was more time in the day!

I fly both equally since I have only two pilot campaigns right now in the Centenary DID, one German and one British.

Probably about 80/20 Entente for me. For Germany almost always the Pfalz DIII. For Entente some Pups and Tripes, but primarily all the Nieuports, including the N28 for USAS. And pretty much equally French and British. My favorite is the N17bis, only available in a couple of units, but I finally get two mg's for some equalizing firepower. Problem with the Nieuports is that if you keep advancing and stay alive you end up with SPADs. Then it's time for me to virtually transfer myself to training new pilots and start a new career. So in opposite of the SPADs visibility, or lack of, I always have a DH2 pilot going. Since Real is Real but not really real and I'm not freezing my wazoo off, the DH2 is so fun since I can actually see, plus I like the the look of my fellow flight members tooling alongside in our funky looking stingbags, (not of the Fairey Swordfish variety).

The Camel is still my all-time favorite followed closely by the Dr.1. I like my scouts turny.

However, like JJJ65, I'm a recce/bomber jockey at heart and will fly any two-seater that can carry a camera and a load of explosives.

I fly a career for one country, then die. Then I go to the next country..... There are just more Entente.
