Agree with the lack of ammo, but after a few runs I became very economical, and tried to avoid shooting tanks unless absolutely necessary. ut malleus omnia similis clavum The following user(s) said Thank You: Viper10{WP}

Fly in the DH2 or the Eindecker to see what it's like to fly in the noob planes, and also see if its the plane or the pilot that is getting your kills. ut malleus omnia similis clavum

D93 Big Gunzzz Offline Banned Posts: 1088 Thank you received: 2164	I actually look foward to Rookie Day. It's only one day out of the month and adds an extra challenge to the game. It would be nice if more players participated in it. I find myself being the only one in a game flying my noob plane all too often. . The following user(s) said Thank You: {GI} EAGLE, airwolff

That happens to me as well Gunzzz. What I have found that after a few passes and being slaughtered by the higher ranked folks they leave you alone as you don't pose as big a threat as the other players. Its after that I can finally rack up some points and have some fun.

Help spread the word. It seems if folks know, they participate. That is unless they are strictly kdr counters in which case that is what seems to matter above all else. :unsure:

Im always in on rookie day!

Dunc7 Offline Platinum Member Posts: 718 Thank you received: 2040	What I do is to start with my worst plane and work my way up through them all. I remember those early days of frustration and delight with each one. And it's such a joy to get back to my favorite, the Siemens!

It's that time of the month again. Fly the DH2 or Eindecker for fun, for a challenge or just for the neck of it.

I'll be heading out in about an hour , my last change to play before I head off the the horrid cold of a Minnesota winter (think warm thoughts, think warm thoughts, this poor Australian isn't used to subzero)
