it's actually the same size than all planes but with one wing... so suck it up! That's the way the plane was designed and why it was a pain in the butt to hit. The same than the fokker e.iii (which btw, it's smaller than the d8).

Yes it's hard to hit, I've been flying allied on purpose just so I can target that plane.

I figure if I can aim and hit that plane on a regular basis than I will be much more deadly in a regular game.

Go dead center and keep it dead centered on the plane and start at the bottom and go slightly up and down. It takes a lot of of practice but if you can concentrate hard enough you can hit it nicely. It makes regular planes a lot easier.

Anyhow embrace this as a training exercise. It's great.

The shako is usually adorned, but not usually with what appears to be a horsehair wig such as found in the English court system.

Hey gunz,

Not sure what you mean here. Don't you have the option to exit from a hangar rather than just go straight into a game? If I want to switch sides from the advantaged side to the disadvantaged side I'll exit the game, select the same server and see if the hangar is the one I'm looking for. If it isn't I can just hit [X] in the lower left and go back to the server selection screen. Then re-enter the server and see if I get the right hangar. Repeat as necessary.

But I think you're right, there are going to be some d-bags who will always fly only German.

Last night I spawned into a game where it was only myself and one other on the allied side, against a swarm of small planes that were cutting us up. As my frustration began to swell inside and turn to anger, I mumbled something like "f***ing D8 piece of s***!".
On the next run down I made two kills and got close enough to see the actual planes before they hit the ground and disappeared - they were Fokker e-iii's, same size they've always been. The two MORAF's in D8's were actually easier to hit than the e-III, not harder.
The embarrassment of being knocked on my ass by a couple of Air Commodores in e-iii's outweighed my frustration and I realized the introduction of the D8 is not the big turning point in the game it's being made out to be - things are the same as they've always been with a small German plane that is hard to hit. So now there are two available, nothing more.

Agreed Reckless! The next "issue" will be when we have two bombs available. Then it will be "double droppers"! It's all a matter of perspective. ;-)

The Pork Council of North America reminds you to cook your pork products to an internal temperature of 160°f - it's a matter of food safety - but a hint of pink is "A-okay" ;)

Nobody, even noobs, is having the least amount of trouble hitting me when I'm flying that plane. And usually well before I can even see them. So stop complaining.
