Can I use different maneuvre decks?

[Barkmann]

Hey guys,

I asked Mike (OldGuy59) if he could do some cards for Sopwith 1 1/2 Strutter. Well, based in some researchs, i saw that the maneuvre for it was the K deck. Now the card that Mike did has V deck. Can I use the K deck? I have the same question about the Sopwith Triplane. He has some good cards, but they use U deck. As I have the Famous Aces set, i wonder if i can use the D deck for the Tripe, as displayed in the card.
Thanks

G'day Nicolas!

Mate I use the K deck for my Strutter.

Originally the Sopwith Triplane was allocated the D deck by the Committee but when Ares released the Tripe they gave it a new, slightly faster deck so in a pinch you could still use the D deck if you have no U deck available.

Thanks Barry! This helps me, as for WWI i only have A,B,C,D, and S decks. I think that there's no problem in using the D deck, so i will use it.
Thanks

so what is the actually deck we should be using for say OTT campaigns?

Not quite, Nexus allocated it a D deck on the official card. Ares corrected that when the models came out.

Which ever you feel like using. As long as you are happy with it what does it matter.

U if you have one or D if you dont for the Tripe
K or V for the Strutter. I used the K for my Early doors AAR.

I used a card I found on the forum to do the cards for Nicolas. I thought I checked the Unofficial Stats before posting the new cards. I just (re)checked them, and I should have used the K deck.

Nicolas, I'll update the cards to the K. Unfortunately, it doesn't help you with the decks you own. The Wings of War "Recon Patrol" booster pack has both D and K maneuver decks, and "Surprise" I have three packs (Booster Packs for Sale). You may be able to get them cheaper elsewhere, but if not, PM me.

Thanks guys!
And Mike, you dont need to make another card. Actually I have the K deck from Crossfire booster pack. But i'll look into your offers.
Thanks again

Whatever the committee says it is if an 'unofficial' kite !
So it's now V (or J*) for Strutters where it was once K - However, the only difference between the K & V deck is the Immelmann card, if you can live without it use a K deck

I know Zoe did some deck comparisons would it be prudent to put these up again, ie same length maneuver just minus certain cards to make a K into an V deck etc.

I think there`s still a spreadsheet in the files section but I dont think the newer `V` and `U` decks are covered.

[Lt. S.Kafloc]

This covers V and U decks too.

Strutters fixed with K decks.
