The British are using their new and untried Sopwith Cuckoos against a lone German battlecruiser, bent on attacking Channel shipping.
With only 4 players (out of a planned 12), 1 Cuckoo, an Se.5a match up against 2 Fokker D.VIIs.
First attack: and Goring is already smoking, as the cuckoo takes the oblique approach.
The Cuckoo takes a wide swing around the island, trying to outrun Stark.
Fish in the water, while the D.VIIs close in. Looks like a long shot.
And the torp runs out of steam short of the target.
Second attempt: the Brits switched out pilots. This one's wondering where the escort is!
A closer drop, as the Se.5a runs interference.
And a hard turn away to make the escape
And Goring takes a parting shot, as the torp slams in for a direct hit!
And the Cuckoo leaves smoking.
Third attempt: looks like the Cuckoo waited too long to drop.
Indeed, the torp hit before arming, and the Cuckoo got a petrol tank hit for his trouble.
The fourth attempt was called for time. So 1 good hit out of 4 tries.
