Thanks add the Fee while I am in vacation ?

I've flown about half a dozen quick missions against Fe2b's. Most of them are going down with pilot kills, so it seems the engine isn't protecting the pilot from gunfire. In RoF it was fairly hard to get a pilot kill against an Fe.

Mind FC wounds are also a lot more severe than RoF wounds. A single stray bullet can outright kill a pilot in FC, whereas in RoF you'd always need four hits to get the job done.

That might be right as any aircrew are so much easier to kill now, maybe at bit too easy.

after my vacation fly the Fe2b the first time

On the left side of the cockpit is a noticeable handle: advance / retard, is it useable?

After my first bomber sortie with that plane on the Flugpark server its under category "fighter" in the statistics, is it right?

By the way, the abilitys of the gunner is a shame. Even equipped with the double machine gun he is not able to hit from the closest distance!!

This plane was also used as a fighter plane, in that role you can only drop it in a garbage can in this simulation. Only with handle the plane and the gunner same time I have chance to hit, what a joke!!!

And I am pretty sure it depends not only on this plane, so far I experienced all WW1 gunners are blind like a mole.

I think this was reportet often enough in other places.... Its time for the devs put some effort in this topic!!!

The FE2b gunners ability to hit is much improved!!!! Use this bird in QMB is very dangerous now for the AI opponent ?

Before hit nothing, now it’s a killer!!

Will play it in career soon ?
