Up to the lines and back with a 5 a/c flight. No contact.

Looks good Banjoman.
Can you try a different font? For some reason I have to strain to read it. Yes, I have my glasses on.

Fullofit, that's not a problem. I'll see if I can find a font that is good for all of our old eyes.

Fullofit, is this easier for you to see. Remember to click on the image and you'll see it at it's full size.

Hey Banjoman,
This is great! Now I can see it just fine even without blowing it up to full size.
Thanks

That's great, I think I'll leave it like this for a while and see if people like it. I can always change it if people what it to look different.

p.s. Banjoman the score card looks great by the way

Think there is a bullet in every part of that Aviatik!
Was it one huge eruption of groundfire, or did they strike a few different times?

we got to low and I beleave its friendly fire trying also to shoot down the N10

As they say these days, “Use a picture. It’s worth a thousand words.” and that's just what I'm going to do.



My wingman and I working together as a team brought down two Aviatiks at the same time.

A nasty little fight with the Huns today. I was flying as wing-man when my flight leader Bocare attacked a 2 a/c enemy flight. He led us right up their tail pipe. I thought this is no good then his plane started to smoke and I last saw him going down near our lines. I renewed the attack ending up damaging a 2 seat type and taking 24 bullet holes in my kite . Running out of ammo I returned to the Field.

Carrick58, since we're allies let me share some tactics that Arthur uses and seem to work quite well. It appears that since the observer sits in front of the pilot he is restricted in firing dead astern. Since that's the case, Arthur has had great success in approaching from below and behind and attacking from either that position or directly behind. You do need to be careful though, if you slide too much out of that small window then you open yourself up for retaliation. One other thing, when breaking off you must be very careful how you disengage because the observer can fire to either side. From one ally to another, I hope these pointers help in your quest to rid your beloved country of the hated Hun.

Thanks for the tips, Banjoman

Dolf Reinhardt has been busy down in Alsace running recon sorties. On one such mission they were tasked with spotting enemy troop movements. Dolf found the enemy troops on the move deep in the hills and let Ernst Fromm, his gunner, get in some target practice.

MudWasp, do you get credit for ground kills when you attack those trucks? That's one thing I've never done in WOFF.

He didn't take any out. I think taking one out would count.
