Hiya Guys
The things i love about the WW1 combats are low and slow dogfights, not the speed pass where 1 or 2 shells takes a wing off, one where you must get in behind close and follow a plane for 10 - 20, maybe 30 seconds before you can kill it, i pretty much fly a Camel exclusively and think i can hold my own in it with most planes, however i have a hell of a time trying to beat a seasoned pilot in a DR1, i have no problem with that in a turn fight, my problem is that i cannot extend and get out of the fight, the DR1 can follow, i dont think it should be able to keep up, especially in a dive, thier upper wing had a tendancy to fail and they were quite a bit slower than any other plane, they could from what i understand turn very well without tipping the wings on thier side due to the large rudder, but i also believe if the plane was tipped on its side in a circle turn it had a tendacy to auger,
we do need more numbers in the WW1 arenas, but thats up to the pilots, just log in, stay for awhile and hope more show up,
i think because of the lower numbers the 3 country thing is a waist of time, should just be 2 sides
WW1 , low and slow doghfight are the best for actual flying and turning, i hope they make some adjustments to the Dr1 and also add more planes,
however with only a few of us logging in im not sure they will invest the time...
so come on in and joint the fun, dont worry about stats and getting killed alot, thats what it takes to get better at it
this is just in my humble opinion and in no way are they ment to be used as facts in an argument
Have Fun Simmers, i would love to see 20 aside, only we can make that happen
