Downed 2 Hun 2-seaters to bring total to 24.
End of Verdun campaign
If you land and 'jump' from your aircraft, it will count as losing the aeroplane. Sometimes I would 'esc' while still on the 'runway' and it would count as losing the aeroplane. Once I noticed that, I tried my best to park near my tent (the empty one).
There are times when you'll down an aeroplane and it will hit the deck but not be destroyed and you won't get credit. Same, sometimes, if you down it into the river. After landing, hit the time advance for a while to see if you get credit for anything that might still be coming down or on the deck.
The campaign needs more ground fire. There are times I was flying over Hun territory and taking no ground fire, even while taking out balloons. Balloons do NOT count as kills, but instead count as ground targets and they go up with very few hits. They could be made a bit more durable and can use some AA around them.
Home aerodrome could use some AA as well since on the last mission, I used all my ammo on the 2-seaters (extremely durable and didn't notice I'd hit the pilot early), landed back at my aerodrome and Hun fighters were buzzing the place while everyone sat around lounging.
The Nieuport allows the use of a throttle, unlike the real Gnome rotary, so I set the '0' to 100% and the '9' to 0% to simulate the 'blip button' (either on or off).
