Jaws2002, please don't cast aspersions. If I'd had a pistol, I'd have used it - I've been known to shoot at low-flying H.P. O-400s from the ground, with my Colt. And have them crash afterwards (admittedly this was after we'd exchanged bullets, I'd set one of the O-400s engines alight, and he'd forced me to dead-stick back on the airfield. And come to think of it, the flak may have dented it a bit too. But I definitely fired in its general direction. And it definitely crashed... )

I think the consensus on the multiplayer servers is that the Colt is most useful for shooting your own gunner. There is nothing more annoying than to have some idiot join you as gunner, and then start shooting at the wings or something. Rather than just giving them the boot, a full clip emptied into them is far more effective in getting the message across, and much more satisfying too...

A shameless promotion of F4 BMS + ITO

Ok, after a few days with ROF i am totally in love. It takes me straight back to the old Amiga times and the game Wings

But i have no clue about these old planes so i would like some tips on which of the planes are the best in combat?

Would like to know which plane from each side so to speak because i have no clue which ones that should be a must have


Thanks to you all for your great help so far.

I was in the same position of not knowing too much about WW1 aircraft. I found this useful page on the ROF site:

http://riseofflight.com/forum/viewto...p?f=49&t=26651

Gives a very brief intro to everything that's available. (focus is on their usefulness for multiplayer, but a useful intro all the same)

Gratuitous RoF screenshot:


You have to love RoF sunrises. And you have to love the Eindekker. Simplicity itself. One aeroplane. One pilot. One gun. No fuss.

No throttle. No rate of climb to speak of. Not much in the way of structural integrity: but the shape of things to come - and the best all-round view of any fighter of WWI. Or WWII for that matter...

Agree. Clod had better sun set but they ruined it all up in the last patch.
