Okay, last night I fired up the original Red Baron (VGA, 320 X 240, 256 colours) - I felt like having some good ol' beer and pretzels fun.

I started off flying RFC in 1915 flying the Morane Bullet. WHEN do you get replacement aircraft in this game? I advanced all the way to late 1916 STILL flying the Morane Bullet. In my last mission, I was up against Halberstadt D. II's and of course they killed me. My flight leader, in the meantime, was flying a Nieuport 17 (fat lot of good it did him, he got killed in the initial seconds of the fight)!!!! Why was I stuck with this early war dreg when all the other RFC squadrons were being equipped with DH.2's, Pups, Spads and Nieuports?!?!

Successful missions lead one to get better aircraft.



Alternatively, you could try wreaking your aircraft, but that's dangerous.

That may explain it - most of my missions were decidedly unsuccessful.

However I did wreck a bunch of planes in low altitude dogfights - it's hard to judge how hi one is (Morane Bullet has no altimeter and the ground is practically featureless).

It's just a bummer I'm stuck with a fighter that was outclassed by the Fokker E. III in late '16!!!! It's almost as if the RFC is trying to kill me.

They were!



The allied strategy of that day was to fling bodies at the enemy........
