@@MegaEierfeile I looked it up and it’s called: The Great War 1914 - 1918. If you type it in you should hopefully get it, also the thumbnail of it has two planes and men in trenches with a shade of red on it. I hope it helps you find it.
When i was little, my dad built me and my brother a replica of this plane out of balsa wood and Styrofoam. It had functioning control surfaces, two little wooden machine guns, and a spinning prop. It was about half the size of the real thing so we could fit inside the cockpit. What's cooler is that the wings and tail were covered with actual canvas. Unfortunately it was so cool that me and my brother played with it non stop to the point where it broke 💔 but it managed to last almost a decade against toddlers and grade students which says a lot about its design!
Wolfpack quickly has become my most watched person on this platform, love the videos man and I look forward to a new upload every time! That and you play games like these sims that I just cant manage to learn but its satisfying to watch someone who can
Reminds me of Flying Corps Gold back in the early 90's. I'll never forget finding Albert ball patrolling with a wingman only and being the cause of his (at the time) unexplained demise.
It's been out in Rise of Flight for years. Doesn't get used much in multiplayer from what I've seen. It's just Fokker D.VIIFs vs Sopwith Camels pretty much constantly
@@Wolfpack345 yeah ok. I knew of the VII and love it for its kind of dopey flat nose, makes it a lot harsher and brutal looking and as a capable aircraft it’s looks suit it’s flying characteristics.
Great vids. Give us whatever you got. It's super that quality of the vids are improved; even though I enjoy those blurry ones too, these are much better.
Flying razor blade. Got that name due to how small it was from head on and by coming out of the sun, by the time you knew you was being fired at it was too late.
Blimey Wolfpack 🐺 I don't know what you had for breakfast, but that was some great shooting, I counted at least 3 pilot kill's 😯👍 hope you do more of these missions, always liked these old kites 😉
I really like the way you use external cam footage, it really adds to the experience. Also, can you fight against Flying Circus planes using WW2 aircraft? I would love to see slow motion footage of those biplane damage models getting shredded by 8 x M2 .50s, or a 37mm cannon shell - maybe even the quad 30mm Mk-108s on the Me-262!
for some reason 90% background music i've been hearing with military stuff has been by the old USMC band- the first song was their recording of Kaiser Friedrich
One of my favorites of the war! Now if only I had a game with my Junker D.1 I’d be happy, then again they arrived so late it wouldn’t be historically accurate :/
I remember the expansion disc for Red Baron has this along with the Nieuport. I was never able to play with them unfortunately because the update wasn't compatible with joysticks. I tried it after all these years with DosBox and the problem persists, even with my new flightstick!
Along with you I never really touched this thing in RoF. Just never liked the lateness of its introduction. Now... gimme a halberstadt D.II and we'll have something to really go on about.
I'd love to see the P36 in a career, Gramps was a mechanic on them in the war. Another good Plane for a career/campaign series would be a FU Corsair. But anything you pick is OK by me. Thanks...
I only watch the videos for the obligatory "Hello everybody, Wolfpack here". You can set your watch by it. 😉 (Though I do particularly love your MP Tank Crew vids).
If you ever go to The Somme or Ypres, the ground is still like that, albeit with trees grown over the top in some places. About half a mile from where I live is a massive crater in the middle of some woodland where a V2 struck. It's really quite large and obvious. These craters don't just disappear in time.
@@mediocrefunkybeat Yeah, I have seen craters also here in Finland, but nothing as crazy as what was seen in this video. But then again, I wouldn't have obviously seen anything fresh.
As I recall reading the Camel had asymetrical turning speed due to the effect of rotary engine torque, meaning it could turn way faster right than left. Does this game model that?
I really hope the devs can incorporate all the beautiful planes from rise of flight. The cool factor of flying the early birds is through the roof for me.
can i ask what your controller setup is? I have an extreme 3d pro and have tried to play IL-2 before but go frustrated. I remember RoF from back in the day. Loved that game!
The D8 is an interesting bird, but I don't think it will be very popular in multiplayer. It cannot out-turn, out-climb, or out-run the Camel, its main opponent. While it handles well at high speeds, its engine is prone to over-revving and it loses energy faster than the Camel too. I found that as a Camel pilot, all I have to do is pull a hard right turn to get out of the D8's gun-sight, then transition to a climbing right turn and the D8 will be utterly unable to get guns on target. The wing is very tough, but unlike in RoF it can be shot off if you put most of your ammunition into it. Still, pilot or engine hits do the job faster. The D8 was supposed to be very good in the vertical plane, but I found its rudder authority to be insufficient for the task. More experience with the plane will help, but I suspect most German aces will prefer to stick with the Dr1 or D7, at least until the monstrous Seimens-Shuckert comes out. The Nieuport 28 is another plane that isn't quite living up to the hype. Based on what I've seen, I can see why the American Expeditionary Force was so excited to trade their N28's in for SPAD XIII's as soon as they could. It has good power and speed (for a rotary), but that's the catch. Good handling for a rotary isn't the same as handling good overall. The SPAD climbs faster, turns faster, dives faster... in fact the SPAD meets or exceeds the N28's performance in every category except one: toughness. The Nieuport 28 can take a lot more damage before breaking up than the SPAD, SE5a, or Camel. It lacks maneuverability, but if you fly as a team and cover your buddies then is can be a very good plane. The trick is you need teammates who know how to cover each other, since there is no other reliable way to get a bad guy off your six. There is some argument about the flight model and whether the plane is performing as well as it should, but as it currently stands in-game most pilots are staying with old faithful SPAD/Camel/SE5a unless we're doing an organized N28 flight. Overall, they are both interesting planes but certainly aren't shaking up the game balance.
Yeah, I don't expect any aircraft we get with FC 2 to necessarily shake up balance or anything. The D8 was fun to fly around because I never really messed with it in ROF. The N.28 is pretty much exactly what I expected. Rather similar to how it was in ROF. The only thing that subverted my expectations is just how durable it is. So far both aircraft we have gotten with FC2 have held up rather well and various rods don't snap after taking one hit. If this trend continues I can see myself only flying FC2 aircraft. Especially in multiplayer. Today I hopped on Flugpark for the first time in a while and decided to take out the SPAD 13. I literally took one hit and the rudder rods were broken. I would rather fly the N28, A flying brick, than take a SPAD or SE5 where my cables snap once they are touched.
This makes me want to see another WW1 series :)
There’s one on Amazon prime you can watch.
Goes though all four years of the war in four episode, really good to watch trust me.
@@bluestorm3628 Intriguing, but whats the title? I couldn´t quite find anything that matches your description....
I do want to do another one. I was flying this with PWCG and it was very fun haha

@@Wolfpack345 That would be, shall we say, wunderbar!
"Thanks to its unique shape"
*shows a plane with a face*
Thomas was super late for his deliveries after being shot up by the mean German plane named Wulf.
Haha.

Damn! have to admit I ducked for the near miss at 10:50. Great Vid Wolfpack. Can't wait for Flying Circus 2 career mode!
Bruh i pressed the link, watched and ducked also😂😂
Your marksmanship has improved!! Excellent video!! Nice to see WW1 dogfighting again besides reruns.
Reminds me of Flying Corps Gold back in the early 90's. I'll never forget finding Albert ball patrolling with a wingman only and being the cause of his (at the time) unexplained demise.
Damn that's a game from the Past, liked playing it then to past the hrs.
I’m surprised, I don’t think I have ever seen or heard of this Fokker variant in Rise of Flight or Flying Circus
As far as I know it was never super popular. I think a lot of that has to do with it's late introduction date.
It's been out in Rise of Flight for years. Doesn't get used much in multiplayer from what I've seen. It's just Fokker D.VIIFs vs Sopwith Camels pretty much constantly
@@Wolfpack345 yeah ok. I knew of the VII and love it for its kind of dopey flat nose, makes it a lot harsher and brutal looking and as a capable aircraft it’s looks suit it’s flying characteristics.
Always fun to watch you do Flying Circus, Wolf! Well done!
What a terrific video! I’ve always loved the monoplanes of WW1, especially the Fokker E.V/D.VIII.
Great vids. Give us whatever you got. It's super that quality of the vids are improved; even though I enjoy those blurry ones too, these are much better.
Great flying! All i can do with this bird so far, is over rev the engine lol.
Yeah, you have to be real careful with the rotary engines. The blip switch should help.
God i love ww1 aircraft. Would love to see you do another campaign
Lol, that frontshot made the plane look like thomas the engine in a way😆
But they look like a hell of a lot fun to fly. 😎👍
They are!
“Thomas had never seen such head on bs before”
I would love some "what if" 1919 campaign for this plane.

Huzzah!
Glad to see more Flying! Excellent flying at that!
Great stuff. This video reminded me of how much I missed hearing you say "blip switch." :D
Haha :D
Great video as usual Wolfpack345!
Thanks Shamrock!
The Fokker D.VIII is a great looking little plane. You certainly did well on that flight.
Thank you. I really enjoyed the video. Really glad you dabbled in WW1 again.
Lovely plane, would like to see more!
Glad you liked it!

Grats on Ace in a flight. Watched and 👍 Liked
Me: “Sees face on plane”
Me: This is my new favorite plane
The French air service was very impressed with this plane. Morane and Dewoitine built similar fighters after the war.
for some reason 90% background music i've been hearing with military stuff has been by the old USMC band- the first song was their recording of Kaiser Friedrich
One of my favorites of the war! Now if only I had a game with my Junker D.1 I’d be happy, then again they arrived so late it wouldn’t be historically accurate :/
They did see service with the Freikorps in the east until 1919, so that could be an option.
I haven't come around trying out the Fokker VIII myself yet, but seeing this, I thought I might start up IL2 to give it a go :)
It is quite a fun little plane!
I'd love to see these made again!
I love the immediacy of Great War aircraft duels compared to the other games Wolfpack plays. I would love to see more WW1 content!
YAS
always wanted some flying circus
I remember the expansion disc for Red Baron has this along with the Nieuport. I was never able to play with them unfortunately because the update wasn't compatible with joysticks. I tried it after all these years with DosBox and the problem persists, even with my new flightstick!
You should do one on the Sopwith Snipe, also released near the end of the war (to the RAF)!
So they've added a new plane to counter your habit of ripping the wings off then? 😃
Beautiful plane.., the Germans knew how to look cool...
Can't wait for more.
That was beautiful wolf!!
Thanks!
What was the advantages to disadvantages of the solo wing to the double and triple wing. Cheers
The other thing that limited this was a shortage of castor oil, used for rotary engines. The Germans used an iferior Ersatz oil.
Love the WWI games. Please do more.
Yes! Some WWI action again. I'd happily watch anything in Rise or Circus.
I really like old planes like this.
Looks good . thank you for sharing
I love these WWI planes. They are quite different than their WW2 counterparts
looking good man thanks love them ww1 planes thanks again :)
I don't know if you have access to it, but I would love to see you flying the Vought F4U Corsair. Always loved that plane.
Gotta love that early German cammo and paint jobs
Next up will be Pfalz XII...that should be an interesting one for the huns...very excited for Triplane / SPAD VII too
I flew multiplayer last night and my rudder rods were snapped 3 times in a row almost immediately. My excitement has gone down again...lol
Love form Philippines 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
Thanks for watching!
@@Wolfpack345 yes I love your content
looking forward to more !
Both this plane and the Junkers D.I were truly the shape of things to come. Maybe they will add the D.I as well some time.
This A/C always reminds me of the movie Blue Max
I hope you start with the IL2. Seems it'll be a great aircraft to watch
I would like to see more of this, or the Dolphin.
5:05 bro’s fuselage just got flung away from the main crash site 😭
Does anyone know what the red and white thing on the left wing is? Is it just decoration?
In real life it designates flight leads.
Perfect shooting, almost Arianne Scharfi-level. More of this, please.
Thanks!
You know, you're half decent at this. I'm actually curious to see more of the D.VIII
Would love to see a custom livery "Blue Max" maybe? And New series would be awesome. 🙂
Along with you I never really touched this thing in RoF. Just never liked the lateness of its introduction. Now... gimme a halberstadt D.II and we'll have something to really go on about.
I myself am looking forward to the E. III and the D.H 2 lol
@@Wolfpack345 D.H 2 in VR will be a breathtaking experience, I suspect.

Fokker D VIII, the Me 262 (or maybe Me 162 because of the design problems 🤔) from world war I
FWIW: I never even _knew_ of the _Fokker D-8_ until not too many years ago.

Yes.

Id be very interested in a ww1 series
More please :D
Another great one Wplf, how do you keep up with all your videos.
Enjoyed that.
Cold you do a B26. Or a FW200
is Vol 2 just not on steam? I’m so confused i see release updates all the time but nothing new is ever added after the 30g updates
nice video red baron;)
Are you planning a FC PWCG campaign at some point?
At some point yes
That plane has some quirks that make him a little fokker to get a grip on don't it?
Could this be the next series wolfpack?
It’s a promo for IL-2 Flying Circus II so probably not till that is actually released.
How long of a series could it be, given it's late introduction?
@@Nightcrawlerfive long enough to hit a tree!
Maybe I will to a FC career with PWCG. I do miss the WW1 aircraft.
@@Wolfpack345 its my favorite period. Those men were brave souls.
Wolfpack do a ROF career with the DVIII please
would love to see some WW1 bomber action !
Oh please, could you play Rise of Flight? Some campain? Maybe the one where you play as the overweight german cheese dealer? :D
can i ask what your controller setup is?
I have an extreme 3d pro and have tried to play IL-2 before but go frustrated. I remember RoF from back in the day. Loved that game!
Have you tried the Spad 13? Its stats make it look like an early power fighter.
Is the FC vol 2 map, released ?
Would you say that this plane is more maneuverable than fokker dr1 triplane?
Will you do another Rise of flight series
