Idk if u have the $$$ for those currently, but the fokker should be bought before the nuiport. Make sure to upgrade it first too! Costs anout 8 grand for a fokker upgrade, idk for the nuiport. The spad is fine till u get the nuiport, just has 75 less bullets. See you in the skies!

I feel like I'm cheating, hahahah. Plus I really use speed/acrobatics when in combat -- the Fokker is made more for head on fighting. -Slenderman

Manfred Offline Platinum Member Just Manfred Posts: 2845 Thank you received: 3866	I alternate (or waffle) between the albatross d3 and the fokker e3. On the allied side, I like the se5a now that I upgraded it, otherwise the nieuport. For pure dogfighting, I like thw fokker. For games, the albatross. Manfred

With a higher speed value, it might be unfair, but its pretty good. According to mbizzi, it shoots faster than other planes, but idk. Good # of bullets and manuverable. See you in the skies!

I think it's fun to pick a plane and then get that mission or try to make the best of it when u pick the e3 and end up in a furball!

O good a fellow pilot that likes to escort the guys with a bomb. That's my favorat thing I mean it's hard to get in a bomb when your in the offensive so all the guys in others team don't have bombs and are just dropping your guys you got to have a person dedicated to bring them down and distract them to get them bombs throue makes me mad when people get mad at you for not carying a bomb and kill there guys to get the guys with bombs throue makes me want to yell at them when they don't have bomb lol.

Seattle2 Offline Premium Member Posts: 138 Thank you received: 62	I was psyched last night to upgrade my planes but didn't do so well, I guess that you have to get used to the feel. I also noticed that when I tried to fly out of a carrier in a d.V with my bomb on, I plummeted right into the water. Fail! I was feeling so skilled too since I usually crash inside. Any tricks to getting out? And why are so many top aces flying the monoplane Fokker?

Slenderman Topic Author Offline Moderator The [e]nigma Corps Posts: 2798 Thank you received: 849	Because the Fokker is extremely hard to hit by most players -- head on. I just started flying it and I love it for Dogfighting. But not for anything else. -Slenderman

Low speed plus bomb kills your climb rate your turn rate making you extremely easy to kill. Up side is that it's a hard to hit plane till it try's to pull up dive or go into a hard turn exposing the brodeness of its underside and top side. Bad climb rate speed rate makes aiming at long distances easy agents them for people that know how to hit a plane. This air craft with no bomb is like fighting anyothere plane but just hard to hit wich give it good advantage when it loses the bomb.
