No one has posted screenshots since August of last year.

This used to be a very popular thread.

Here is something that might be of interest.

I ran into some Fokker DVI from Jasta 75, way down south in Alsace.

I've flown them but have never taking the opportunity to fight one.

The AI fly them much like a DR1 and in a mixed formation of the two types against Kest 4 I couldn't really tell the difference. They're a deadly little plane in good hands.

You will encounter them from 15 July to 15 August 1918 if you fly French down in that area. Both Jasta 75 and Kest 4 fly some. No aces, just the squadron default wingmen.

I had the pleasure of shooting down one of these, it was quite a scrap.

















Anybody out there interested in sharing some of their adventures.

Here's a few from some of my recent flights.

and a few more. Flies beautiful with the new rig.

Great shots Hs!

I particularly like the 2nd group with all the aspects of the Dreidecker taking down the RE.

Thank you. I'm pumped for more news about the next two WOFF expansions. Belgians and who knows...but I'm hoping maybe the Italians.

I'm cool either way.

Lots of skins to play with, especially if we get Italians and maybe some Austrians

Never saw this before.

Didn't know these guys moved.

*lol* I'm thinking they probably moved because that one guy didn't care for the machine gun being pointed that close to his doo-dads

Wonderful screenshots guys. Keep them coming.

BOOM!


Good name, we should all call ourselves that.

It sure happens enough.

MY LATEST BOOM.

Been far too long since I uploaded some photos. They won't be as action packed as Jerbear's, but they are pretty.

Lovely...looks like a peaceful mission.

A little Jasta 30 action.

The aircraft belong to (top to bottom) Oblt Hans Bethge, Ltn Rudolf Freiherr von der Horst zu Hollwinkel, Ltn Kurt Katzenstein and Ltn Paul Erbguth.

I think those pics would look much better if you could lighten them up a bit.
They are pretty dark on my end.

Best Regards

Bad weather.

Sometimes I think in WOFF we fly in weather that would make the guys back then just stay on the ground or turn back if they ran into it unless they were specifically ordered to get their butts int the air.

That's a decision you can make if you're leading the flight but the AI don't seem to mind it.

You can see em a little better here. These are all, by the way, from the jerbear User skins Mod.

Just a few shots of a little dust up between 56 Squadron and FAA 293b.

The DFW's are based on the information below. They were originally in one of the jerbear Mods but have been incorporated into the WOFF Skin Pack.


Reinhard Kastner wrote an article on the markings of FAA 293b for Propellerblatt issue Nr 40 in 2018. In that article are 16 photos of various aircraft from this unit, including the DFW and Hannover.

According to Mr. Kastner, British G number XG13, a DFW, belonged to this Abteilung. In December 1916, this unit, which was, up until then designated as FA 7b, was reclassified as FAA 293b.He says that the odd looking 7 on the aircraft was used as a unit marking from December 1916 up until around March 1918.

The fliers were superstitious about this change and the loss of their luck number 7. To avert the bad luck they believe this would cause painted this 7 on all aircraft. Mr Kastner provides 9 photos of aircraft from this unit bearing the odd 7 marking on a white background.

Also, according to Jack Herris, a sample of fabric from XG13 is kept in the Imperial War Museum. This sample is a dark bluish green. This DFW is believed to be C.V C.4686/17 which puts it in a DFW built C.V batch that ran from C.4578 to C.4727/17. These C.Vs were streaked dark bottle green and bluish green applied heavily with a light yellow primer on the underside.

Around March 1918 the “7” unit marking was abandoned. Perhaps all the old pilots to whom it mattered were gone by this time or the Kammandeur was a hard ass, who knows. In any case, at that time only tactical numbers on a white background were used.

Another little 56 Squadron adventure. An airfield attack on Jasta 30 at Phalempin in the snow.
