I love the E III ( and all the a/c we've got with full engine management) one of the joys of DBW 1916 is listening to the engine and then adjusting the settings to make the old girl fly as best as possible....
I fly the E III as the original boom'n'zoomer.....first stalk your target at maximum distance....approach on their blind side......rise slowly (very slowly) 500m + above them....shallow dive ( too steep and the wings will come off and engine will over rev and seize up)...... aim for the pilot ( I've found that the Farman and the Be2c will take an awful lot of hits before burning and you've just got the one m/g !)
Generally, you've got one chance to strike as I've found the Farman & Be2c will outrun the E III comfortably
when the Fokker Eindecker flew, there were still
pilots shooting at each other with shot-guns and hand-pistols... some even threw bricks at each other!
I am not joking, its true. We still need a mod for that... Brick throwing pilots! AAAAHAHAHA!
+1 Max.....surely some kind soul will mod a hunting rifle/pistol/brick......similar to the first person shooters that the young people play on their X-box's
Cheers
