• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

On mission 16 in my BE2c over the "no mans land" I ran into a flight of six Fok E 111, no sweat my wing men were up to the task. So in we went and low and behold up pops Muller, Richthofen, Boelcko, and Imelmann. It was a fair day in August 1916 and away we went. Muller and Richthofen made turns toward me and had to correct to prevent a collision and ended up 200 m infront of my sights. If you ever fly the BE2c you know that the sights are not quite "on" and involve some Kentucky windage for aiming.
A few short burst ( using the 3 burst as learned in special forces) and using a narrow pattern I was on them like a chicken on a june bug. Both went down. Oswald Boelcko was very unhappy but made a slight error so I put my last few rounds in him and headed WEST. I made it to the first airfield with "Oswald" only 500m behind me. No credit given though. Bummer!!!
