RB CHALLENGE

Hallo there Aces!
For those of You who're in possess of a copy of the original Red Baron (the 16 color version), I challenge You to beat my record:

317 kills in 71 missions,
17.414 total points,
512 single mission score.

This's my best career - it's not impossible to beat it!

Last note: I would like to thanks VICTOR VON DOOM, my flying instructor of Red Baron 2 Multiplayer; JOKER for having been the 2nd pilot of my club (Fugazi86's Flying Circus, the last-born and less-know of WON), and STALLING STAN for having been the 3rd. I'd also would regard XXEUNI, my favourite German adversary. Remember: we fight for beer, girls and punk rock (not in this order).

CYA!

Hi Fugazi
Sure we fought for beer, at least i did...i should still have some barrels in the abandoned EAC Headquarter.
For what concerns the girls, this is my plane :





It's good to see that you're around here Fugazi, i remember very well our air duels, for me an easy kill to add to my roster!

Great pic. Looks very much like a dream I had...

well... I think my record for victories was 357 in 80 missions (80 missions appears to be the standard length for a career).

um, I think the highest score was 700 points (or so) on a balloon busting mission where I flamed Fonck, Nungesser, 3 ballons AND hunted all over the front-lines in search of locomotives (if you blow up a locomotive you add 100 points to your score).

there was one time where I fought a one-vs-one duel with Werner Voss and blew up two German trains and managed to score 500 points or so for it... so remember that if you're interested in padding your score.

one of my personal favorites was a fellow called Alexander Shokov, who NEVER lost a weekend. he started at the beginning of the war, and ended up dying in a collision with a German Fokker D.VII trying to rescue a wingman.

one really keen thing about the original Red Baron is that you could replay missions on the mission recorder and learn from your mistakes. I remember practicing one-vs-four engagements all the time. and at the height of my obscene Red Baron playing ability... I flamed a flight of 4 Spad XIIIs in one head-on pass.

one really cool trick is to put Allied aces in the Bristol Fighter F2b and make single missions... it gives you a much better idea of what it would be like to fight those things... I was really disappointed that Red Baron II/3d didn't have something at least THAT difficult for two-seaters.

CIAO VICTOOOOOORRRR!!!
dovrei aver comprato RB3d su ebay, casomai se il tipo me lo manda ce se rivede su qualcosa di simile a Won che immagino sia presente...
Ps: sono stato a torino a vedere iggy pop - ma lui non l'ho visto stavo sdraiato sull'erba a bere :P
ciau!

That's disgusting.

How do I get a plane like that?

[fsbof]

The hell with the plane ... where can I get that ground crew?

[Lufbery]

How can anyone even play the original Red Baron anymore? It became unplayable when I upgraded to a Pentium computer some years ago. The processor was just too fast.

I used to plan my missions so that I was entering the target grid coordinate from the behind instead of in front. That helped me get the drop on the bad guys fairly frequently.

Regards,

dear loufbery,
You can slow Your pc using Mo'slo, or similar programs, wich you can download from (mostly) any abandonware site... like home of the underdogs or lost treasure.fr....
