You're gonna have to fly better than that, if you wanna smoke a Camel. Nice report!

Cheers Parzival, I am sooo ashamed!

Great AAR Herk! I too am a Pfalz fan. Tough flying it and the Albatrii against very maneuverable allied aircraft.

Cheers Thomas! It was the speed of the Allied aircraft that made life difficult, and the maneuverability of the Triplane which really made life hard. At least our planes were pretty!!!!

"It was the speed of the allied aircraft that made life difficult" That seems a little odd, because the Camel's top speed is 182 Km per hour. An Albatross's top speed is 186 Km per hour. Maybe Wings of War have their stats off? Canvas Eagles Camel maneuver chart. PDF link Albatross DVa. PDF link Pfalz DIII. PDF link Sopwith Triplane. PDF link

Yeees, I appreciate that WofG isn't noted for its strict accuracy, it does give a difference between largely similar aircraft to give them different strengths and weaknesses! Its a fun game!
