Don't use Steam for ROF it's a pain in my opinion.

I use these guides for plane buying.

Short of it is you can get through entire war for $14 dollars with the British (Pup -> Triplane -> Camel). For Germans you can go through most of the war with DIII -> DVa -> DVII , adding in the E1 and DII if you want some early war loving.

As far as money sinks go, it's still far better and cheaper than say FSX, iRacing or even Battle of Stalingrad at the moment!

That's what I loved about Red Baron 3D - getting a high enough rank to smoosh together different combinations of other people's planes to get a hideous looking custom aircraft.

I can take off in the D.H.2 reasonably easily, but not with a strong crosswind. Anyway, that last mission was great!

It was like having sex for the first time, I was too busy taking it all in to actually hit anything with my pea shooter.


That's how sex works, right?

Don't worry, we didn't end up recording anything for the LP anyway.

Oh thank god for that.

I lectured the other two about the finer points of criminal law, took off then promptly declared "welp, see ya later" and afk'd.

Top quality stuff.

I wonder when Weed Lord III will go up in smoke, so to speak. Died as he lived and all that.

The other problem is when you add planes to a flight PWCG doesn't flag them as COOP playable, and in two seater squadrons it tends to only create flights of two or so.


Which just means 2 pilots 2 gunners. :getin:

Unofficial rule is if there is only one plane left it's a race to see who can jump in the gunner seat and shoot the remaining guy down. Headshots are quickest, but shooting off both wings is the funnest.


edit: I have the Camel down sort of. I can shoot people down and get out of spins easily.

It's just not getting in them that's the problem.

After dicking around for an eternity, a brave flight of aviators took off to engage a balloon.

After coming across two flights of albatrosses, Goonflight lost one man to mid air collision instantly, one spun to the ground and crashed, one pilot got killed with a bullet through the head and spun to the ground, one went into a spin all his wings before he could recover and one blew up his engine and landed safely.

All in the space of about five minutes.

That is a much better name from my point of view than Cadman Argentein and Cadman Page. Both of whom died in their first mission because goons are horrific bastards and we were flying Camels. To be fair we got jumped by two squads of Albatrosses, but it really was over before it began.

We killed the hell out of a bunch of Halberstadts and DFWs though. Some people actually survived those missions. I think in the patrol against the DFWs we ran into two squadrons (18 planes) and left with 8 kills and no one dead.

I'm now an ace, buddy, and don't you forget it! And here you are saying that it was the end of our best pilot in our squadron. :colbert:

I'll say it again, it takes some skill to hold a camel steady, shooting a nearly defenseless target without spinning to your death.

That was fun we should do it again :)

edit: does the camel throttle not drop below half?

While amusing and cartoonish at first I think they are actually relatively correct; I remember reading about how some pilots actually did throw bricks at each other really early on.

Yes that's why I posted it! Plus I just adore the animation style of that time.
