Well I'm starting to get back into Rise of Flight again, and I've learned a couple of new things. 1. The SPAD VII is a great boom-and-zoom fighter, but it is horrible in a turn fight and will do the "SPAD Spin" ie a flat spin that you can't recover from. 2. The Airco D.H.2 is a very worthy foe for the Albtross D.II.
The SPAD VII wins the day again. Down in flames goes the Boche! The remains of a DFW. Jailbird wins again. Hauptmann Nikolas Koch of Jasta 11, formally of Jasta 2 encounters his second Airco D.H.2 of the day and the results of the fight are clear to see. The next day while on patrol near Arras and flames a D.H.2 which was attacking a comrade. I would imagine the last thing the people expected to see was a burning hulk of aeroplane landing in their courtyard.

20th July 1940
Heavy raids against coastal airfields and Dover docks. Tangmere, Manston and Hawkinge all hit hard. 21st July 1940 More raids against coastal airfields, and one deep raid against Kenley airfield. Convoy 'RABBIT' heading out from the Thames targeted. Scrambled against a raid heading over Hawkinge, spotted a group of contacts at altitude passing over us, Red leader declined to intercept, however given the altitude difference that was hardly surprising. Expected Red leader to turn and climb, but instead we continued to France.... Spotted more bandits over their airfield in France, the squadron split to engage and then I was hit by flak and forced to bale. Captured by Wehrmacht forces on the ground, and interred in a POW camp until liberated in 1944 by US forces breaking out from Normandy. Bombers (possibly) at altitude Bollocks... Author note: I do really rather hate it when the squadron takes a jaunt to France, such things were strictly forbidden in the real Battle, and I swear I turned off the RAF modifier which makes them follow raids back to the French coast...however in this case the waypoint of the mission itself was somewhere near Wissant. |

Well, they actually had some use as night fighters and attack aircraft.

Good lad, keep it nice and shiny...so when the Team Fusion patch comes along I can see the sunlight glinting off it a mile away and bounce it.
