in that picture, one of the planes has been drawn back to front, at the peak of the turn the plane should be facing away from you, with the tail showing. Labeled stage 3..

Thats interesting.  I didn't know that.

I'd call that a Chandelle.  (spelling?)

It's a wingover. Chandelle is a climbing, reversing turn.
Ron White says you can't fix stupid. I beg to differ. Stupid will usually sort itself out, it's just a matter of making sure you're not close enough to become collateral damage.

Chandelle is a climbing 180 that ends at stall speed.

IIRC the original Immelmann is sort of an inclined hammerhead.

Ineresting in that almost half my kills were of Dr1's last night but 2/3 of my deaths were to DVII's.
I edit a lot of my posts.  Get used to it.

All planes 25% fuel, max speed in level flight, on deck:

Dr.I - 115mph
Camel - 115 mph
D.VII - 118 mph
F.2B - 123 mph

Dr.I matches the data I've seen. D.VII matches the data for Mercedes D.II engine and Camel matches the data for Clerget 9B 130hp engine which was the most common powerplant for it.

Good job Pyro! :)

DVII does seem to be the crowd favorite, and the DR1 isn't too far behind.


New planes, new damage model, some new animations, but the same old players.  :rolleyes:
I think there all really nice to fly
Man all those icons look goofy, looks like a bunch of seagulls at the dump. kills the eye candy that those WWI ac deliver.

In my opinion there really isn't anything to 'score', only the stats should be recorded without the rank.

Considering it turns into a mass of planes shooting at everything, I found the Dr1 to be the most survivable in the furballs.
