Just a remark about the knights of the sky...

Manfred von Richtoffen, was known for straffing grounded ennemies...
René Fonck would fly around the melee to pick an easy prey and shoot it down (he was a marksman).
Some others aces would flee when seeing unfavourable odds... I do not remember which one said something like: the war will go on tomorrow but my life could have ended today.

So, do not fall under the WWI propaganda: although some pilots were heroes, and even had some chivalry moves, this was not the rule.
When dreaming at the sky "knights", the people would forget about their familly members dying in the muddy trenches...

Youplay is however a game, where this chivalry can take place, because it's just being nice to your gaming partner. And may be, he will like this behaviour and challenge you for other games...



i think i addressed this point in another thread...that the so called Knights of the Sky were hardly so chivalric as Hollywood fiction would have us believe...

war is a dirty business and it is usually the side that is dirtiest that will win in the end of it...

the whole idea of honour when it comes to war is ludicrous...there is nothing honourable in killing...it is really the ultimate expression of Man's bestiality...no matter the cause the result is always the same...people die...the glorification of war and killing is in my opinion a form of pornography usually produced by those who never had to experience either
