SPAD XIII Head On E25 IL-2 Sturmovik Flying Circus PWCG

[@joeaustin4472]

Yet another utterly fantastic episode Darth Vegan, that kill you claimed was utterly spectacular.. truly among one of the best you have ever claimed. That flying was incredibly professional and true aerial Spartan style of the first world war. Having gotten into the game Rise of Flight these past 2 days this was a real nice treat on a Saturday. That enemy pilot that you tangled with was one skilled opponent, might have been an ace, or someone specially tasked to try and hunt you down, but the great warrior which is Dennis Valentine emerges triumphant, and returns home safely. I would be prepared for tangling with more skilled fliers in the future, you never know what the enemy has up their sleeve. Regardless welcome home safely, another highly successful case and you get a well earned drink in the mess. I think your wing mates need some discipline if they were lax in supporting you, unless they were too busy in going after their own targets. Make sure you get a good drink on me tonight, because that was sweet flying. Looking forward to the next episode, keep them coming and well done mate 👏👍

The Green Baron flies on!

@darthvegan Absolutely.. and he continues to spread fear and terror into the German forces.

That guy gave you fits. Gave me fits too, watching!

[@darthvegan]

I know! He was a real champ

[@baydenhenry1522]

That had to be a ace and he’s definitely going to want to meet Dan at the end of the war

[@darthvegan]

Hopefully they can have a pint together someday

[@baydenhenry1522]

@ Indeed, a interesting thing about Aces is they always the remember the pilot who was even in skill and made them flee, even if that pilot didn’t get the final shot. I personally find that cool.

Bro you say darthvegan so quick its not even a word lol.oh and btw like with many other aircraft simulator streams its very hard to pick out the enemy on the screen,and ive a 4k screen,but never have i seen the dots of enemies that streamers point out.

[@darthvegan]

Yeah, that's one of the reasons I can't play multiplayer very well...they always see me before I can see them LOL. and I know it's far worse on KZbin/Twitch because of the video compression.

Nice, very quick kill on that Albatros, I must say. Your second opponent, the Pfalz DIIIa, was a little more wily, eh?! The DIIIa was very similar to the Albatros DVa but is was able to soak up far more punishment at a little loss of agility. However, your Spad XIII is very definitely no turn fighter. It was a boom & zoom fighter, totally. Your only real option was to extend out in a shallow dive and grab a little height as you turned to re-engage. The real beauty of the Spad XIII was it gave its pilots the choice of when to disengage at their whim leaving all other fighters of the time in their dust...used in this manner, the Americans gained many wins over their superior-equipped German opponents. I, personally, hate flying the Spad (both versions)...give me a Camel any day of the week. In truth, it's the terrible cockpit view that really makes the Spad a 'no-no' for me. As it goes, I must say you fly the aircraft very well and you have had some much deserved victories with it so, as they say, keep doing what you're doing though perhaps bare in mind the aircrafts performance envelope. Right, onto the next one in my catch-up...one left, I believe. Cheers.

For sure, once I went vertical I was able to start getting more hits on the lad.
