Thanks guys! I am glad that you are enjoying them. I will PM you OvS!

Pups over the target with a head to head engagement. I followed one down low but lost him right before the kill. Soon enough more Pups descended to my altitude and the battle was back on again.

Later, on the way back after the main battle I spotted a lone pup racing for home, almost to his side of the lines. Alas for him, it was not to be.

I spotted tiny specs of white far below us and decide to lead the flight down to investigate. At first I could only find one but once I got down to altitude, I found the rest quite quickly. What followed was an epic battle for survival against some well trained French pilots, WOFF UE is incredible! Thanks Devs and Modders!



First time I have ever encountered twin gun Sopwith Triplanes in the campaign. The extra gun weight really did seem to impact their performance.




Spas 7s in the area where we were assigned to patrol for balloon cover. Did my best to energy fight them which is a tricky business.

On the balloon defence fight, I even ducked when that albatros almost collided with you !

I engage a low flying flight of DH5s(?) and my wingmen follow me down....except they don't engage! Evidently they had way too much confidence in me that I could fight off 5 or 6 of them alone. Eventually they figure it out but not before things are incredibly dire for me.



and from an earlier mission where Camel pilots ripped me up pretty good and kept coming after me. Scary crap!

Hell yeah, that scared the crap out of me. I've had several near misses but that one was way too close even for my comfort!

Finally assigned the new machines. Fokker DR1s. The first flight out we ran across a trio of Spads and managed some victories, but we quickly found the limitations of these new crates. They can neither dive with a Spad nor keep up with its speed unless it has been damaged. We will have our work cut out for us now.



Nevermind. The very next mission they pulled the DR1s away and gave me back my old DV Uprated. Really?!? lol

Towards the end I was racing to get to a wingman being chased by a Spad. I was closing ground quickly, but not quick enough. The Alb pulled up and the Spad flew right into him, sending both crates earthward in balls of fire
.


A great scrap with Brisfits! One near miss collision was so close I thought for sure he was going to plow right into my tail on his was down.

Finally back in the DR1 again. I am getting used to her, but she's certainly a different beast than the Alb DVa.

Really great to see you flying and posting videos again, Hellshade! I do enjoy viewing them. I also greatly admire your flying and shooting skills. The only skill I seem to have mastered is my skill at smashing into the ground!

Thanks guys. I just try not to die. lol

So we are flying along in a shiny new DR1s and the flight suddenly starts acting funny. I look around and eventually I see it, a lone Allied craft diving in at us while his wing man flies off back towards his own lines. "What a fool", I thought. This will be an easy kill. Not so! This DH4 pilot was incredible in how he handled his kite, especially against DR1s. He threw his crate all over the sky and gave me hell trying to get a bead on him.

The final report showed that none of us actually shot him down. Evidently when he swooped down low to throw off his antagonists, his damaged craft did not respond as well as it should have and it looked like he skipped off the ground. The bounce was too much and turned him into a rolling ball of fire across the landscape. Even for this, I cannot fault him, for in my pursuit of him I miscalculated how much stress my DR1s wings could handle in a dive and I did a fair amount of damage to my own crate. Whoever he was, we all drank a toast to his skill and bravery once we returned back to base.

We tangled with a flight of DH5s in a bright, clear sky. Though it was squadron vs squadron, there was a point where I was left alone in the middle of a hornets nest, DH5s in every direction and all focused on me. Must be a little of what Werner Voss felt like on that fateful day. I did manage to draw smoke from my first target on the very first head on pass of the engagement!

For Just a Moment, I Felt Like Werner Voss

OvS has been hard at work at a new project and he has been kind enough to share an advanced copy of it with me. It seems he has red-done or created from scratch a huge inventory of high resolution OAW DIII and Early DIII skins! They look just fantastic. I will be showcasing a few but hopefully they will be able to be released to the public sometime soon! In any case, I noticed that I couldn't fly the DIII for crap before, but with the new skins I have been turned into a killing machine!! (Okay, before was the DIII and this is the OAW DIII, but whatever. I still credit OvS for inspiring me to fly better with his incredible high resolution paint jobs.) Truly he is an artist. Thanks for all that you do for the community James!

An example of a high resolution Ace skin. Beautiful work, OvS!



And another OAW Ace skin

Hi Gents!

Here's a few from the last few weeks. My RFC 19 pilot was lucky to get his SPAD back home after an airfield attack mission deep behind enemy lines. To add insult to injury, we were attacked by an angry flight of Albatros fighters as we were trying to escape. Still, any landing you walk away from and all that...

And a few others from the unfriendly skies. Hope you enjoy!
