Me too.  I'd still be a regular if people would fly/fight higher than 500 ft. agl.

That's like saying "I would fly WWII if they didn't keep fighting at 10 or 15K".  WWI evolves downward same as WWII it just doesn't start as high.

The ground is a powerful tool in WW1.  I use it regularly to crash my opponent into.  Takes some doing but it can be very rewarding.

Yup. If anything it helps HTC with advertising. Only 4 planes, yes, but that's 4 WWI planes another game doesn't have, eh?

I logged on to the WW1 arena tonight and what did I find?  Four Bish Dr1s fighting some lone nit flying in a ...you guessed it, Dr1.  

  So I up a D7 and try to figure out if I want to even bother with it.  I make a diving pass on the first Dr1 after he cleaned up my fellow nit (for probably the umpteenth time) and he easily reversed on me to make a 180 degree instantaneous change of direction and is now a handy dandy 200 yards back plugging away.  Now two more Dr1s that were above the fray are diving at me just trailing the first and they are all bangin away.   Of course all this was happening right off the field I lifted from so I just landed it and logged off.  Might try again tomorrow.  Might not.

For me the problem has always been the Dr1.  I dislike fighting them and I dislike flying in them.  Since I cant beat them and I dont want to join them Im left with only the occasional fights where people leave the Dr1 hangered.  These are the best times in WW1,  no Dr1s.

Dr.1s can be fought and defeated just as easily as the rest, it just takes a different approach. Sure if you are outnumbered you are in trouble, but that goes for any type. I don't fear the Dr.1 in 1v1, but of course there are pilots that are very good in it, that will win the majority of fights. Just as I've encountered expert F1 pilots, that I rarely beat.
Actually my most feared encounter is a F2B with a pilot that knows how to use it. In that case it holds pretty much all the cards on the D7. Even without using the rear gunner.
