I tried out the XE deck I created for the Sikorsky S.XVI.

I took the Sikorsky and used the solo app for its opponent - an Albatros DVa. I know those aircraft probably never met, but I don't really have anything that might have flown on the eastern front on the Central Powers side. Also, I was using the A-firing Sikorsky S.XVI, which probably never existed, so historical accuracy was thrown to the wind!

I also tried a new thing - making an animated GIF of the game. I couldn't get the gif to upload to the forum, so you'll have to follow the link to watch it.

As you can see (hopefully), with the XE deck it is predictably difficult to catch up with your opponent, but the use of the immelmann means the Sikorsky can get in the tail of an enemy that has just attacked. It was the fire that brought the Albatros down in the end, but the contest was quite one sided in terms of damage cards taken.
