Sunday Flying Circus Furball

I had an absolute blast today. 87 players, 126 planes shot down, 87 ground targets destroyed, 103 flight hours logged. Here are a few screenshots to show some of the action. Things ranged from massive, intense dogfights swirling in a tiny piece of sky to small duels, climbing and diving to gain advantage between the clouds. Entente managed to push through the southern recon, but it cracked up on landing (apparently the wings just completely fell to pieces on touchdown). Although the flight out was relatively calm, the return flight was marked by multiple large flights of Fokkers climbing up to intercept and a fighting retreat. After that, the northern recon was successfully completed, with fewer interceptors rising up to the challenge. I searched for a German recon and found him completely by accident in the middle of a cloud. We then finished up with a pair of HP's attacking the factory, shipyard, army camp, and observation post, with machine-gun clearing provided by a DH-4. Very successful due to most players logging off, making it easy to fly uncontested to the targets. Sad to see everyone go: I was hoping to get a good dogfight with the HPs, but I made due with an AI Albatros near the observation post and a player Dr1 that followed me from the nearby dogfight zone.

The Army Camp Center is destroyed. Cuban got one of the machine guns, Kotori got the other in the bomb layer/front gunner seat.

Who says a bomber can't dogfight? Kotori and Hill take aim at an AI Albatros after I bullseyed the Observation Post with my last bomb.

Hill fires at a Dr1 that chased us back from the observation post.

Another dogfight down south while interdicting the way home for the recon.

Another dogfight down south, after the recon dragged a couple Jastas worth of Fokkers to come play.

My Bristol got engaged after I took out the northern balloon on the way home from the recon. I put up a good fight with Talbot in the gun seat, but they cut my rudder cables early on and severely limited my maneuverability.

NOTE:  This weeks event will feature a new Vintage Mission designed and scripted by IRFC_Echo that was play tested Friday successfully that centers around 1917 Vimy Ridge.  The mission will run 4 hours long.  Stats will be reported on a different parser separate from the Flugpark parser for this week only. Afterwards the regular Flugpark mission will run. We look forward to the prospect of hosting more missions from Echo who is reviving the Vintage Missions with blessings from Syn_Vander.   Echo has shared plans for other mini missions that may appear weekdays on the Flugpark, which continues to support and host community mission builders with a platform to put their work forward to benefit the community.

Note:  rumors continue along the front as large flights of planes are reportedly redeploying from Arras sector toward the Verdun sector.  If the rumors are true, a huge action is expected Sunday at 1900 hours GMT!

Nice to be over 100 PvP once again! 

Thanks to all the community data wonks and gatherers, whiners (who had a role to play and played it), testers, and the new leadership at 1C for listening and caring enough to save this WWI sim and community!

Had a bit of time off last Sunday, so I got to get back in with some awesome action on Flugpark! I had the pleasure of winging with Jasta 5, doing everything from fighter intercepts, to balloon busting, to recons. Thanks for letting me tag along, guys! It was a true pleasure. ?

Last Sunday, I got the opportunity to fly with the fine gentlemen from Jasta 5 on Flugpark. The action was everywhere and we had some great fights defending our targets!

Last Sunday, I had the time free to fly on Flugpark during the Sunday furball. The servers are consistently full and there is action no matter where you look! Had an awesome time flying with my JG1 squadmates, J5, J2 (not on comms), and J30. We ran recons, intercepted recons, and got involved in plenty of huge scraps.

 

In case you thought FC was dead/dying... think again. It's just kicking off! ? https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1729307904

Last Sunday's action on Flugpark was loads of fun, as always! Early on, we took a large formation over enemy lines, getting into some pretty wild scraps. Afterwards, near the end, we intercepted a Handley Page coming home from a level bombing mission. Right as the mission ended, I got engaged with @=IRFC=bbob in an Se5a. What followed was a white-knuckled fight, during which he put on a clinic for how to use the tilted Lewis gun in a close quarters fight. Salute and well done! Until next time! ?
