Thread: Maneuver card correct?

    Default Maneuver card correct?

    Hi everyone,

    just got a Fokker D.VII Airplane Pack and while looking through the L Maneuver Deck, I discovered this card here:

    Is this correct? No Stall? Seems to be a very powerful maneuver. I assume, without the straight arrow in the right lower corner, this maneuver can't be used before and after an Immelmann Turn, but very good nonetheless.

    It's a stall... it's just not a Steep maneuver. It's one of the reasons the D.VII is sick-nasty. I believe it's designed to represent the D.VII's ability to "hang" on its prop without losing altitude.

    That, and the nasty little sharp stall-turn/skid-thing the D.VII has, that is...

    Yes, it is correct; it allows a "short steep right" "non-steep stall" "short steep left" 3-card trick that will have your enemy on your six fly right past you!

    It also allows your DVII to hang behind a slower (two-seater) target and hit it repeatedly from the rear.
    I once gunned down one of Hedeby's beloved Bristol Fighters in just this fashion.

    You're right, steep maneuver is what I meant.
