I only flew the dr1 and never got up high enough but I'm going to guess that something horrible happens if you try to do that.  :devil  I had a blast though.

Always good fun in the WWI arena. It would be awesome to get at least 30 pilots in there.

I remember when it first opened and there were 50+,  there were conga lines everywhere.    :banana:  :airplane:

That was until all the boring folk realised that they couldn't take any bases and that it was more difficult to keep their aircraft out of the ground.

Likewise Ordy...will almost always go in if there is someone there...usually have to be 6 or 7 though.  Getting pretty rusty waiting to see folks there and go in.  I'll drag Mano with me...if he isn't napping.  FLS, nice shots, long time since DOA.

Nice to see you're still here.  We need base capture in WW1, there's nothing to argue about.  :D

How is the targeting on these planes, I hope it's better than Rise of Flight? I love that Sim but trying to shoot someone down is like firing with blanks LOL. I had no idea there was a WW1 scenario here. I can't wait to try it. :)

The ballistics are accurate as far as I know. Anything other than hitting the pilot still takes a lot of shots. The WW1 arena is currently 4 aircraft and is dogfighting only but we hope to see it grow.

I think you could probably shoot down several planes in one hop.  I had my gear shot off and my entire tail shot off once and not just the control surfaces, the whole tail.  :uhoh  You just have to be able to focus on the plane longer than a snapshot. I'm not expert though I only flew in there the one time for a couple of hops.

The WW1 aircraft have very high turn rates and very tight turns so it's a close fast fight in relatively slow airplanes. You can put a lot of holes in them without hitting anything important.
