Yet more proof that the Points System doesn't work.
If all three planes are each chasing a separate target balloon, the Much Faster SPAD will get there first, so will get shots in before the others.
The Faster Hanriot will get there next, so will fire after the SPAD but before the Albatros, but once in range it's superior manoeuvrability should give it more consecutive shots than either of the others.
The poor old Albatros will get there last, so will begin firing last, and will not get as many consecutive shots in as the Hanriot will.
