Flying WW1 almost exclusively these days, Camel. The astute Dr1 pilot would recognise my regular 'first sortie of the day' which is to up against a well flown high Dr1, dodge and weave repeatedly as he pecks from above; end up on the deck with damage and facing a now extremely confident opponent still with an alt advantage. Eventually dragging him to a low alt flat turn fight, I stupidly circle around trying to follow his rapidly departing tail, now hearing hits I finally decide to try something else which temporarily puts my Camel square in his sights (too slow now and shot full of holes).
Having got the initial humiliation out of the way (that didn't hurt too much) I can then proceed with some abandon to roll the dice and let them fall where they may. As for some personal signature, I'm told I can be easily picked out of a milling crowd by the constant repetitive use of the blip switch. Desperate not to tear the wings off, I guess I'm always cutting power to keep it short of Vne.
And cussing. If I had vox, you'd hear alot of cussing.
