Bunny, Claims approval is a dicey thing at best. Sometimes you get a run of approvals and sometimes the opposite. Call it fog of war, stolen kills by a flight mate or ground gunnery, or lack of confirmation. You can play with the settings in work shop to improve your chances. I have found that as your pilot gains kills, his skills and reputation improve and therefore the brass seem to be more lenient. It also helps, if like Billy Bishop, you have friends in high places

Bunny, glad you're enjoying this glorious sim that is WOFF, you're hooked now! As for the inner workings of the claims process in the sim, perhaps this will offer some understanding: . See!?! There is science in there!

So do you actually write up in the report the altitude and landmarks ? I think I did choose the witness who actually was killed so that makes sense. The only reason I choose him is because he was my wingman but when the combat started I have no idea which friendly was around me because it was such chaos lol. How do I even know what friendly pilot is who in the sky? It didn’t show name in TAC right? What happens if you say no witness will that be auto deny ? No witnesses are NOT an auto deny. Nor is shooting one down at low level, 15 miles into enemy territory, again with no witnesses. Bagged MvR like that careers ago. And received credit. As to which friendly pilot, unless you are close enough to see his distinctive paint job or flight letter/number, you’ll have to throw on labels to be exact. Or you can do what I usually do when I’m doubt - name the Flight Leader as your witness. This has its “gamey” advantages.

You can name anybody in your flight, or in flight A (assuming flight A was flying at the time).

Bunny, Glad you are having such a grand time. Obviously you have been severely bitten by the WOFF bug. You have been given good advice on claims and as has been stated, maybe, maybe not! Here is an example of a claim I made,
Witness: who ever is around, wingman if you don’t know.
Engaged 4 EA southwest of Lens at 10,000’. Shot down one, tan with black “H” on side of fuselage, at low altitude and observed it crash 2 miles east of Lens.
Just an example Bud, keep those victories coming. When you feel comfortable, have a look at the DID Campaign and join in.
Never approach a bull from the front, a horse from the rear or a fool from either end. BOC Member since....I can't remember!

My pleasure the next rounds on me cheers! First flight went smoothly. The SE is truly a smooth machine. My first flight involved a patrol within friendly lines to Ablainseville and went off without a hitch. No contact with the enemy and all returned safely. I am having breakfast now and about to go warm the engine for day 2. This rookie has one quick question. What’s the best mapping for zoom in and out? The way I have currently is a button mapped to zoom in and one to zoom out but it is cumbersome and not smooth. The vids I have seen online seem a lot more smooth back and forth. Also Is there a reset to zoom out button because it is very cumbersome to keep tapping zoom out to get back to normal ?
Thanks as always in advance !
Bunny Welcome to the forum and the game Bunny,you certainly seem to have been bitten by the WOFF bug. I may have some advice here to help you get a smoother zoom (if you haven,t figured it out already) Firstly go into workshop and click on the key map page. then click on your zoom in and/or zoom out buttton you can see mine are button 5 and 6 When its highlighted click on advanced and i believe default is 0..change to 2 then click ok then save and when you fly and zoom using your buttons it should be smoother HTH ..enjoy Pal
