J5_Baeumer 727 Posted October 13, 2019 (edited) May Flowers Please join in congratulating J5_Loppnow as he scores his 310th ground target in one virtual life to earn the highest award possible for a Central two-seater pilot in World War 1, Order of the Knights Cross, House of Hohenzollern, granting the recipient honorary status. It was awarded but 16 times in World War 1, ten of which were to NCO flyers. In other news, the following updates from over the front were read in Kaiser Commendations and Englander Despatches: US 93_Larner extends his score against live Central pilots on the Flugpark behind friendly lines to 95. Orden Pour le Merité awarded - none. The FC Flugpark parser can be visited at http://stats.jasta5.org:8000/en/ . See your own pilots earned awards by finding and clicking on your pilot name in either the pilot ranking tab or your squad tab and then the "awards" tab. The list below will be updated to include new pilots meeting the 20 victories requirement, involving live pilots*, provided proper supporting documentation/evidence is submitted. Other awards may be earned and displayed in the Flugpark for scoring victories in combination of Person vs. Person (PvP) and Artificial Intelligence (AI). Thank you to US93_Larner and other community members for their help tracking pilots.

J99_Sizzlorr 168 Posted October 13, 2019 Don't know what to say... Parser must be lying. Never the less i'll take it and wear it with honor. I always wanted that medal. A big thank you J5 for the decoration, recognition and the providing of that full real environment. Long may that list get! 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

US93_Larner 1322 Posted October 20, 2019 (edited) And well-deserved it is, too. 18 Victories on Camels and 15 on Fokker Triplanes. Here's to the Rotary Devil of FC. Edited October 20, 2019 by US103_Larner 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Although my monthly stats are polluted with lots of ditches and bailouts even to leave the server if I recall correctly. We knew (at least me) just recently about the parser. Let's see next month if I can get it cleaner. But the chute comes in handy with the Dr1, because we tend to fly it on our side of the mud, since it can't run from anything. Yet yesterday I fled through the clouds from enemy territory from three angry Dolphins, one SE5a and one Camel if I’m not mistaken! Hope they add chutes for the French and US Air Service as well (know little about it). Larner was almost there, killing it. The 103 is taking the Spad to a whole new level. I feel his pain. With the map terrain the way it is, I try hard to ditch on water whenever possible. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You can explode Camels and at least some other Entente crates in mid-air. I flew right through an exploding Camel yesterday, it was something ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
US93_Larner 1322 Posted October 21, 2019 Guessing engine being oiled or fuel leak has something to do with it...only plane I remember blowing up like that on landing was RoF’s N11 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
J2_Jakob 112 Posted October 21, 2019 That music... 🤗 I've observed a number of exploding Dolphins and Camels mid-air too... Dolphin likes to go on fire/explode when the fuel is already leaking. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The lone wolf thing (I think) makes me steer away from that sort of event, so I wasn't into it when it came out. Although is it not so bad to get a medal 😎 But I do like to go for a streak once in a while (got used to it at the end of 2015). I saw you the other day going vertical with the SE5a and it was impressive (took my prey when I was almost snapping it up! 😂😂😂). Way to go! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
