Welcome aboard Pwner44, always great to see a new pilot in camp. For the Brits the Sopwith Pup is a lovely plane; for the Central Powers the Albs are quite nice; and for the French I'd say the Nieuport 17. There are others of course, but these are all fairly forgiving and good to get a feel for things.
Enjoy the virtual WOFF skies, and watch your six!
Cheers!
Lou

The SE5a, it will give you a feeling of confidence and you can really thrash it around the sky without worrying about losing wings.

Having only been flying WOFF for a couple of weeks, I agree the Alb's are good to fly. But I think my favorite, especially as you can start at the end of May 1916 in it, meaning you're up against Eindeckers for the first few months and have the battle of the Somme to fly in, is the Sopwith Strutter. Add to all that the fact you can mix up your missions with some bombing runs as well. It's a winner for me
So, we take off in ten minutes, we're in the air for twenty minutes, which means we should be dead by twenty five to ten.
