Since there isn't a detailed listing of the squadron upgrade paths (maybe eventually? --hint, hint), I was wondering if anybody knows of a British squadron that has a DH2 to Pup to SE5/SE5a upgrade linage (the DH5 & Tripe can be in there too, doesn't matter)?

I know the anomaly is the SE5 since the Camel was by far the most common upgrade in that linage - but does a squad exist that goes to the Se5 instead of the Camel?

thanks if anyone knows.

Edit - and no, I can't really do the Nieuports or Spads at all really due to more limited cockpit views with no Track-IR (motion sickness), so I am really hoping for an allied squad that covers the allied planes that I want and am able to fly.

Redwolf2,

I have found 24 squadron, which has a DH2/DH5/SE5a lineage. I would suggest you PM Olham, as I seem to remember he produced a list of the squadrons and the aircraft they flew for OFF.

Thank you Rugbyfan!

...just found that myself through wiki-pedia...also RAF 32 is suppose to be a DH2-DH5-Se5a sequence as well...wish I could find one that has a Pup in there as well (really like the Pup)...don't think it happened, though.

Guys, you can always "enlist manually" from the bottom-right corner at pilot-enlistment.

You can select everything there: squadron, exact day etc.
You will also see the list of planes this squadron used during the war ("Aircraft deployed").
By clicking through time monthly, you can see when they change from one plane to the other.

And, if no squadron ever used all the aircraft you want to fly, you can request "transfer".

I am an idiot and totally missed this...so sorry.
Thanks for the tip.

Olham's correct. you'd have to transfer because, so far as I know, the Pup squadrons moved on to Camels... as you'd expect.

A nice roleplay move might be to spend time with No. 24 until they transition to the DH5 in early June '17 then transfer to No. 66 Squadron about the same time for the Pup, then switch back to No. 24 when they get the SE. Especially if you've wangled a few promotions in the process.

Nice part about it is that if you go to No. 66 you'll be 'following' Major J. O. Andrews, an ace formally with No. 24 and a contemporary of Lanoe Hawker, who became C.O. of No. 66. You could imagine he took you with him.

Don't say that, Redwolf2 - I often overlook things which later seemed obvious,
and I don't want to be an idiot...

As Olham and Dez have noted, Noops to SEa yes. Pups to SEs no
The King expects that every man will do his duty
Cheers

Seems many people miss that manual deployment words bottom right, we won't be adding fischer price green buttons just yet

"shredword" is good! Mmuahahahahaaa!!!

Give us time, Pol - we are still learning to handle WOFF.
Give us patience, Lord - for the same reason.

I agree with Olham on this one. Sometime the obvious is not always the obvious to others.

The manual enlistment option is so nicely conceled, that it took me a few days to realize it existed even though I regularly used in in OFF.


Since there may be total newbiees playing WOFF who have not palyed OFF before, Some of the screens can seem a bit confusing/daunting. So, maybe it's possible to do a snapshot of each page in WOFF added with little text to describe each function. Or a step-by-step process on how to enlist a pilot.

Sure but I disagree on that page it clearly says Manual deployment just click stuff and see I say

It is not hidden physically - only veiled by my mental incapabilities;
blurred by my desires; overlooked by my greed to get on...
Yes, I'm a poor little devil...
Mmuahahahahahaaa!!!

He He He...I just saw that! Very cute!!

To be perfectly honest i have to agree with Pol and also Hellshade on a previous topic.I know Woff,s a great sim and many just want to jump in feet first,but the first thing i do after EVERY new patch is read the release notes,go into Workshop and stay there for a minute double check any new features,go to my key bindings change anything i need to and put my joystick and throttle to its Axis whilst there (it takes seconds).And Every screen i go to i check over thoroughly before i finally fly.If i get stuck on anything i refer to the FAQ before posting...i have moderate OCD in real life so maybe i go a bit over the top with my routine...BUT i believe that doing things the way i do saves me time in the long run...and reading patch notes,FAQ,s etc you find things which you would,nt think of looking for,just my 2 pence worth guys.I also love reading the pilots in my squadrons files..(Status,place of birth,Missions flown,kills etc),ive flown with Pilots from my Home county whilst looking at this...Brilliant work OBD

Yes...well...not when you are flying your Alb!!...or at least that's how it was in OFF. From what I have read lately...you seem to be having some problems with the new beastie in WOFF!!! MmUahahahahahaaa! Maybe us Camels jockeys still have a chance!!
