00:00Hey everybody it's Rick Rawlings we're back for another edition of Let's Play
00:11Wings Over Flanders Fields last hurrah edition check out we got the Lewis gun in
00:16the reloading a configuration here so this whole drum which in the later
00:22models holds 97 rounds in two stacks I think it's 97 you just have to hit the
00:30magazine release let whoops I disappeared but you pull that drum off and
00:33then put another one on the top and put it back into battery and then you're good
00:38to go you'd have to charge it if it was empty but other than that that's how you
00:42access that let's get off to the campaign
00:46we are 63 missions in going for mission 64
00:58waiting to see if those last uh I think we gotta wait see if the last claims we
01:03got last mission were made so I'm gonna advance a little bit of time we'll see
01:07how that goes and then piggyback up for the mission okay so it looks like both
01:13those victories have been confirmed let's take a quick look
01:17let's see
01:24so that puts us at 50
01:28confirmed victories nice all right I'm gonna get the mission up and running and
01:34bring it back okay we're having a rail yard attack here let's take a look and see
01:41we're going to up at these Junction which I feel like we've been to before let's
01:47get our circle up waypoint a little more in line with where we're going and I
01:54don't feel like I know you're gonna tell me should be circling higher but if we're
01:59doing a rail yard attack I'm not crossing the front at eleven thousand feet let's go
02:06get our waypoint one like that and I feel like uh if we did like seven thousand feet that would be fine
02:19now let's take a look at our load out here whoops taking our load touching the rudder pedals apparently
02:26switches that off let's um do some bombs we'll do some bombs see if we can do some damage there get
02:35everybody down to a more reasonable this is your range over here we're not
02:41flying anywhere near that but you do want some for fighting all right I think that's
02:46pretty good let's uh let's go to the field
02:50all right here we are on the field we've got a gaggle of sc5a's lined up and ready to go
02:56medium cloud level point to think we're racing we're racing there buddy
03:15that's what I thought
03:18all right
03:19make sure
03:26get up and running head off to the patrol area and hope to see you there
03:39well we're out over the lines heading for uh
03:43and the side of the lines and our chosen altitude has taken us pretty much a cloud level so I've been
03:47kind of ducking in and out of the clouds always in between sets of clouds which hopefully makes it
03:53harder for us to be seen by enemy flights that are sort of off angle and looking through the clouds
04:00at us hopefully that will be helpful take a look at the map here we're heading
04:06over it's gonna be pretty much south of
04:13whoa that was close
04:15archie is archie is found us
04:17and I know you're gonna say if I was up at higher altitude I wouldn't have to worry about
04:22it so much and you're right
04:24all right we're gonna do some shucking and jiving here
04:29one thing that I don't think I've ever talked about in this game before
04:34that really deserves to be mentioned is that they do a very good job with the waypoints
04:39so if you've ever tried to rendezvous with somebody in like a flight AI flight in the ILT series
04:50it's it's very very difficult you have to be like spot on that waypoint at least the missions I've
04:56played I have very limited luck with it unless I let the AI lead the flight
05:01takes us right to the waypoint here it's much more forgiving I don't know how they do it but it's done
05:06really nicely where you can just sort of ignore your waypoints and the enemy planes seem to figure
05:13out how to fight people or if you get close to your your flight you're escorting they seem to join up
05:20with you pretty well so it's very nicely done I don't know if that's a combat flight simulator 3 feature
05:26or something they added but it does make it much less of a headache to just kind of fly the mission
05:32like you would fly a mission in real life which is follow the waypoints if they make sense but
05:38when things start happening you might need to deviate a little bit I think
05:46that might be the junction right there it's via there should be a balloon
05:49which you can see I think that's it we'll push in a little bit and then come around hopefully from the back side
06:03I think that's it I think that's it I think that's it I'm going to select my bombs
06:20they didn't really do dive bombing as we would think of it in world war one it's mostly just kind of level bombing
06:38old dive bombing and using your plane to aim your bombs it kind of came later
06:43I did actually have I think if you watch some of my earlier careers I actually had a
06:57bomb site in the game that was done by one of the players actually
07:05you there was the former guy's name I think who actually made the bombsite model and then they
07:14added it into the game pretty close in the recon wars expansion
07:21where we are right there
07:26quick
07:35we got stuff coming in I'm going to turn to the rail yard celery
07:56okay these guys are like they might be making
08:07making their turns for us
08:11let's see if we can do a good pass drop our bombs and fight
08:18oh yeah look at that rail line just leads us right in
08:35I don't have time to really set up these guys are going to have to figure it out
08:44I'm not going to oh yeah look they're already splitting off getting jumped
08:50they're splitting off because we're getting jumped or maybe they're doing setting up their own attack
09:03oh yeah but we're right over the
09:07can't remember if they all release at once or if I have to drop them individually
09:14go right over here
09:16hammer away drop everything
09:27accelerate
09:28if I hit anything with that
09:33I think I might have hit something
09:36I guess those guys are dropping their bombs now
09:41oh yeah look at that maybe we could do a better job than I did that's for sure
09:46alright now let's go see what
09:48these guys are
09:51those are ours
09:53where's the
10:05good idea not to hang out at balloon altitude for any length of time
10:19wherever that other flight went to if that was in fact you can see what's going on at balloon altitude for any length of time
10:24so
10:26so
10:27so
10:28so
10:29so
10:30so
10:31so
10:32so
10:33so
10:34so
10:35so
10:36so
10:37so
10:38so
10:39so
10:40so
10:41so
10:42so
10:43wherever that other flight went to if that was in fact enemies I don't know how to see them so I'm going to do an attack run here
10:52so
10:53so
10:54so
10:55so
10:56so
10:57so
10:58so
10:59so
11:00so
11:01so
11:02so
11:03so
11:04so
11:05so
11:06so
11:07so
11:08so
11:09so
11:10so
11:12so
11:26it's
11:27so
11:37so
12:08Come around again.
12:21Aim for the same rail cars.
12:36Lewis is out.
12:46I'm going to try to get my little altitude for safety and then change my Lewis gun.
13:14I'll try this again.
13:24Alright, stick between my knees.
13:34Bend down.
13:36We'll drum out.
13:38We'll drum out.
13:40We'll drum in.
13:42Back up.
13:44Cover.
13:46And we're back.
13:48We're back.
13:58Oh.
14:00We're back.
14:02We're back.
14:06We're back.
14:08We're back.
14:10We're back.
14:12We're back.
14:16We're back.
14:18We're back.
14:20We're back.
14:28We're back.
14:30We're back.
14:32We're back.
14:42We're back.
14:44We're back.
14:45We're back.
14:46We're back.
14:48We're back.
14:50We're back.
14:51We're back.
14:54We're back.
14:55We're wrong.
14:56We're back.
14:57So, the B7s have those thick straight wings.
15:14Wait, how's this guy getting right on like he also crooked unless there's two of them?
15:25I don't think there's multiple, my NG cooling system is getting straight.
15:43Alright, let me get out of here.
15:53I can do another pass on the rail yard.
16:00Let me head out of here.
16:08Somebody's crashing.
16:13I think that was one of them.
16:15Let's go past.
16:22Past Major Brick Rollins.
16:30Let's go past Major Brick Rollins.
16:37Temperature is like a top higher than...
16:44It's off the red line.
16:51You don't like that when it's off the red line.
16:59Yeah, so it looks like they started off fighting out here.
17:06There's probably more enemies there.
17:14Guys.
17:15Specifically following me, I think that's an Albatross.
17:21Albatross.
17:23Because they've got those little wingtip hooks at the top wing there.
17:38That's a big fight going on.
17:39I love the fights here.
17:41I've got the D7 right there.
17:44I've got a small tail and straight wings.
18:00Straight thick wings.
18:03I think that's an Albatross.
18:10The Albatross is off the chart.
18:12We're going to lose power here pretty quick.
18:14To probably shut down.
18:20I don't want this engine on fire.
18:22We're over the lines.
18:38I think we're pretty good in terms of...
18:42This guy doesn't shoot me before I land.
18:45It's rough terrain here.
18:50Fences.
18:53Why are there fences right on the front?
18:55Barbed wire, I guess.
18:57Let's try and turn.
19:00Let's see if we can put a nice buff right here.
19:07Slide.
19:08Slide.
19:09Slide.
19:10And...
19:11Uh-oh.
19:12Uh-oh.
19:13There we go.
19:15Alright.
19:17I think...
19:18Probably...
19:19Well...
19:20I'm on fire.
19:21Let's find out what happened there.
19:24Oh!
19:25It was brutal!
19:26Stupid fence.
19:27Thought I was gonna make it too.
19:28Alright.
19:29Let's go see what the final tally was here.
19:34Crash behind the lines.
19:35What?
19:36I think I was within our lines.
19:37Let's find out the details.
19:38Did get some targets.
19:39That's good.
19:40Ah.
19:41Yeah.
19:42I think that was...
19:43That looked like a survivable crash.
19:44That looked like a survivable crash.
19:45to me.
19:46But what are you gonna do?
19:47Alright.
19:48Let's uh...
19:49Take a look at the final tally.
19:50Alright.
19:51Alright.
19:52Let's go see what the final tally was here.
19:53Hmm.
19:54Crash behind the lines.
19:55What?
19:56I think I was within our lines.
19:57Let's find out the details.
19:58Did get some targets.
19:59That's good.
20:00Ah.
20:01Yeah.
20:02I think that was...
20:03That looked like a survivable crash to me.
20:04But what are you gonna do?
20:05Alright.
20:06Let's uh...
20:07Take a look at the final tally here.
20:14So 64...
20:15Now we would have done a lot more actual flights but they would have been ones where nothing
20:36happened or we had more engine failure or all kinds of things um you know went wrong we didn't
20:44see anybody we saw people but nothing happened from it like we kind of tried to attack them and
20:49they tried to attack us and people thought better of it so all of those missions happened in the
20:54background we just focused on the ones where things could potentially happen because in a
20:58you know when you buy a video game you want to have action you don't want to most people don't
21:02want to be flying for hundreds of hours and see nothing and have nothing happen so games are
21:07usually geared towards being more intense than they really would be i mean you think about the
21:13number of people that get shot down every flight if that had happened everybody'd be dead and the
21:18war would be over so these games are all geared towards providing more potential for combat than
21:25probably would have happened or more actual combat than would have happened in in real life so we
21:30made it made a good run all the way into 1918 so close so annoying um 50 confirmed kills let's take
21:37a quick look at the run here let's see so a lot in the did a bunch of runs in the parasol oh yeah we
21:47might have done some bombing those then we got the the uh n series the bullet and then we got our
21:55newport 16 which i'm a big fan of flew a newport 12 mission for some reason i don't even remember
22:02that one artillery spotting interesting then we got the newport 17 which is one of my favorite planes
22:09newport 23 good series all good series then we made it into the sc5s and that is where we're going
22:16to end our career let's see uh
22:21so we've got 50 total confirmed now i'm doing this the slightly easier kill claiming um so if you're
22:34doing the hardest one you're going to have probably more claims that don't get confirmed
22:38but i'll say we we had a pretty good run there we have any i think we hit some aces max ritter von
22:46molzer shot down there kurt wolf shot down once almond rotor we shot down franco we shot down kurt
22:55wolf again oh he did shoot down the red baron look at that get the red baron there once one of his
23:02times he went down nothing too serious i guess a lot of aces as you get into 1918 are going to be dead
23:14there's richtofa oh lothar we got his brother shot down lothar
23:24there we go and then let's take a look at our medals so we were awarded the military cross
23:44distinguished service order victoria cross a couple of times a couple of times so i know that's a that's
23:51a complaint that you get multiple copies of medals i think that's something that they've
23:55struggled with is sort of hard-coded in the game from going back to the combat flight simulator three
24:02era um i love these these new backgrounds are really kind of nice here
24:09all right well that's going to wrap up this career rick rawlings ignominiously killed by barbed wire
24:17so we will be back with a new career at some point here hopefully you enjoyed this trip
24:23hopefully you were as crushed as i was at our untimely well maybe it's beyond timely considering
24:29how long we've lasted but sort of ironically unexciting downfall there but we will be back
24:36again i'll be back again hopefully you've enjoyed this thanks for stopping by this is rick
24:41rawlings take care out there i'll see you around
