Padawan speaks


I s'pose my plea for speed would sound more urgent if I developed my scenario at a pace faster than a speeding snail.

Don't tell me Fairline - it's in your tank tome.

Maybe the Russians can use it in El Aurens to capture Mosul from the Northeast.

You can't want me to draw that thing Boco

and my tank geek books only cover ww2, I'm afraid.

Patience, young padawan!

Boco, the Albatros is already on my list of planes for Curt and I'll add the Fokker. Always a pleasure doing stuff for you two.

[curtsibling]

You are most gracious!

[fairline]

OK, the first of Curt and Boco's German WW1 requests: Fokker EIII Eindekker, an Albatros DIII or DV and von Richtofen's Albatros. Strictly speaking, the blue on the Albatros should be purple, but there just aren't enough purple shades in the civ2 pallette

[fairline]

..and some Albatross alternative paint jobs:

[curtsibling]

Incomparable work, fairline!

Perfect Albatros and Eindeckers!
These will be of huge help in my units for Kaiser!

A DSO and Bar is on it’s way to you, the top ace of unit creation!

[Dr. Nick]

I thought Richtoffen's Fokker was a triplane.

[fairline]

He flew a Fokker Dr1 Triplane and an Albatros DIII. Most of his kills were in the Albatros.

[curtsibling]

The Baron began his career as a co-pilot.
He initially flew the Albatros DII, Then the DIII, and finally Fokker Dr1, in which he ended his awesome legend.

Although his kill-score is surpassed by later pilots in later wars,
Richthofen’s gallantry and chivalry are well-documented and his knightly kind are long gone from the face of the cold, robotic warfare of today.

A pity.

[Palaiologos]

The baron begun his military career as a cavalry officer.

Gallantry is indeed missing from modern warfare. The German invasion of Greece is considered by scholars to be the last gentleman's war.

A pity indeed.

[Boco]

Fairline, I've run out of superlatives. Thanx! May your reign be long and prolific!

It's not essential, but could you modify the Eindekker to have Turkish markings? I believe they look like this.


The Albatross is perfect with German crosses.

From The Unofficial Turkish Air Force Site,

Ottoman Army and Navy 1916-1918:

• The most frequently used Ottoman marking of WWI is the Black square with a White outline. This was easily applied on German machines, needing only the overpainting of German Iron Cross. These markings also followed standard the German practice of being applied on the fuselage in addition to other positions. The Ottoman Army applied serial numbers in the top right hand corner of the White outline of the fuselage marking in Latin script . Naval serial numbers were applied on the fuselage side in Black Arabic numerals.
  
• Ottoman markings were sometimes applied without the White border. This has most often been noted on captured machines. Some German supplied machines that may not have had a White outline on the lower wing surface Iron Cross were similarly marked.

[fairline]

How's this?

[Palaiologos]

I seriously doubt the Turks had more than 15 planes in WWI(if they had an airforce at all).

Even so they were sure to be badly trained in them.

If I recall correctly, most planes had a German crew...
