Just got 4.9 update for DF elite on android displaying new planes but locked and captioned "Available Soon".

Time to move on to Elite.

I wish the "Locked" banner was not right over the plane! I'd like to drool over them a bit.

The stats are interesting. Up to 5 bars on turning and speed but only 2 for guns/ammo. I wonder how how future planes will be rated. So many questions! Jets? Bombers? Flying fortresses?


If WW1 and WW2 planes are kept separate there may be a while when there is only one plane available for each side. Original Df was the same way, it was the Sopwith Camel vs. the Fokker Dr1 then more were gradually added. It was odd because those were two of the best planes in the war but for a long time they were the noob planes.... until Zup corrected it with some updates.

The Fokker D8 will be coming back too! Great plane! So great it threw the balance of air superiority so heavily toward the German side that many players refused to play allied.... The great Fokker scourge of dogfight! When the D8 was introduced to the game it was the only plane with 5 bars available in all performance categories until Zup changed the Sopwith Camel to the same. That helped but the monowing design was still an advantage because it had less surface area to target. It made an even greater challenge for noobs in low tier planes.

This will be interesting.

Only for elite ? Well I think these planes got to be in dogfight as well ! Adding new planes to DF is much appreciated !

One of the 2 new german planes were in df1. The fokker d8, but everyone complained about how hard it was to hit and the punch it packed when facing it so zup was forced to replace it w what u see now as the top german plane currently

Outnumbered but Not Outgunned

During the Battle of Britain in July 1940, the RAF had a total of 527 Hurricanes and 321 Spitfires to face the Luftwaffe’s 2,700 planes. Ultimately, the British forces were successful in destroying 1,887 aircraft to British losses of 1,547 planes over the three-month period. Their success marked a turning point for Britain and the war, halting the Nazis’ advancement in Europe.

Takes a Liken’

While slower and less agile than the Spitfire, one of the Hurricane’s saving graces was that it was known to hold up better against enemy fire. In the Battle of Britain, they helped provide cover for the Spitfires, taking the brunt of the damage as the Spitfires moved in for the kill.





It was constructed of steel tubing covered with wood and cloth, making it so bullets and rockets would often pass through causing little damage. The author Roald Dahl (Charlie and the chocolate factory) wrote about his WW2 RAF service flying one of these in his second autobiography "Going Solo".

Well done ZUP for including the American Wildcat, any chance of soviet planes, yak 3 maybe.?

From the article:
....
By the beginning of the Battle of Britain, the standard Messerschmitt 109 was the E or “Emil” version. During World War II the public in Britain were led to believe that the Messerschmitt 109 was inferior to the Spitfire, or even the Hurricane. In fact the “Emil” was one of the greatest combat aircraft ever to have flown and was undoubtedly superior in most respects to the Hurricane and on a par with the earlier variants of the Spitfire, and actually surpassed them in some respects. ...

...
In total over 30,000 Bf 109's were manufactured making them the most numerous fighter aircraft to have ever been built. The 109 was also responsible for shooting down more enemy aircraft than any other aircraft in history. ..
