I think that this might be just me since no one else has mentioned it, but after the 2.05 up date the Fokker E III has disappeared from the list in the claims form. I was flying a Pup for RNAS3 in February 1917 and managed to bag an E III, but when I went to the claim form, no E III? all of the others were there including the Fokker E V. Any ideas? Thanks.

Maybe we see if others see the same, but best to just claim single seater type if not available then describe the type in the claim form.

Sailor, you probably already know this but just in case you don't did you know that the claims form has a scroll bar for selecting craft and is it possible the EIII was at the bottom of the list window and you missed it?

A Fokker EIII flying against the British in Febuary 1917?
Who's the lucky Jasta pulling that duty?

Hi All, Did you ever notice how when your car is acting funny and you take it to the shop and then it runs fine and then you get it home and same problem comes up. Well that is sort of how this problem is. I don't get all that many opportunities to use the claim form, but after I posted the above the next time I went into the claims form, this time of an OB, the Fokker E III and E IV were both there. So I thought that I was having a senior moment. Then today about 30 minutes ago I got an Alb DII and went into the form to claim it and all the Fokkers except the E III and E IV were listed. I checked very carefully. So by now it is March 1917 so I don't expect to see many E IIIs, but I still was puzzled as to how they appear then disappear from the claims list? Not really a problem just curious.

You raise an interesting question. I don't know how the aircraft in the claims form are generated, but since the program knows what squadrons are going to be in the air over the whole front, it seems possible to use that data for generating claims form aircraft choices. Only the Dev's would know how this is done for sure.

Best Regards

If this is in Quick Combat then you may be flying aircraft outside of the date of your pilot. Anyway as I said you can still to choose the generic ones for single seater or 2 seater and enter the name in the claim text.


Robert: no it's not how it works.

I wonder if it's some residual weirdness from an earlier patch. All Fokkers have been eliminated from the OoB, per Idfliegs order of 6 December 1916
