I always fly Mods on (AI Mods + my own Albatros ones)...
Great achievement Fifi! thumbsup
Albert Ball was my first ace kill ever.
I got him twice in Jasta 11 and 12 Campaigns (PWCG).
Both times I was flying Albatros D.III and he was flying his favourite Nieuport.
I've also got MvR when he was an aspiring Jasta 2 pilot with 8 air victories.
My most remembered (epic!) fight with an ace, was the one with a Camel ace once (Roderick Dallas?)...
The fight was a tide as we both scored hits on each other but no one could determine victory.
I tried to flee to my side of the line, damaged and he kept chasing me.
Being faster than my (undermodelled) Albatros D.Va he was able to catch me.
When he was closing at firing range, I turned to face him, we crossed swords and back to the chase again.
We did that numerous times before he "realized" he was running low on fuel (leaking)
and being over enemy territory he finally released me.

Anyway I got Billy Bishop again in another Campaign with Jasta 27 this time.
It's now July 1917 and he was flying a SE5.











From my experience, aces are not difficult to get, but you have to be decisive in the early stages of the fight.
Give them time and space and you're dead or crippled with their first chance of a snapshot.

I ducked to the right and passed under the wing and Bishop's plane...
I was afraid that the plane would stall to the right due to wing loss and couldn't avoid collision but,
he kept flying straight for a couple of seconds.
As I see the pics now I should have better dived to the left.
It was very close anyway...

Oh, now I got it, you meant ducked for real! duh
Yes, I probably did that as well... winkngrin

I got Oswald Boelcke in a Beta Career, my first ace victory. I'm flying with Esqadrill No.103 in November 1916, with a 2 gun Nieuport II, and was leading a defensive patrol. We took of, and I saw a lone Albatros D.II circling nearby, at altitude. We climbed to meet him, and he dived on us. (this is with the AI mod) We got into turning fight, and in a couple of passes, I killed his engine. He starts gliding away towards his lines, but we are a good ways back. I get behind him, and let off a burst, but then stop. As he is gliding down, I pull up along side and drew my revolver, but something mad me stop, and I decided to escort him down. He landed safely in a field, and I went and landed along side. It was brilliant, had encountered an ace, and brought him down alive.

Oh, carrick... pilot
Great story norm! thumbsup

In the latest versions of Pat Wilson's RoF Campaign, lot more aces have been enabled...

Jasta 6 was flying a balloon protection mission.



A flight of Spad 7s attacked us...
(Actually Nieuport 27s of No 1 Sqn RFC but, Spad 7 180 is acting as place holder,
also not British skins are assigned but this gonna be corrected in the next update)

I got two Spads-Nieuports.
The first one was flown by the ace Tom Falcon Hazel.
