4.0 - Introduction
===============================================================================

I'll admit it. Red Baron II is not the best game ever created but it certainly
deserves more credit than it has. It's obviously not the worst game but it
falls under a mediocre category and it deserves something. I find Red Baron II
sort of confusing in a way and I hope to clear a few things up plus give
various techniques and strategies.

And with no further ado, here is the guide.

===============================================================================
5.0 - Plane List
===============================================================================
Most of the info is taken from the game itself although I'll add a few little
blurbs giving strategies for the plane. You can find the list of planes/objects
in game anyway. And also, you can't drive bombers.

------------------------
5.1 - German Planes

--

Name: Albatros C.III
Type: Bomber
Specification: Sturdy and reliable, the Albatros C.III was an excellent
reconnaissance and artillery cooperation aircraft. It could carry a small bomb
load and is armed with a fixed synchronized Spandau forward and a flexible
Parbellum machine gun in the rear.
Strategy against: Try to shoot it from behind and below. That's it's blind
spot and you can get a few good shots before the bomber shifts.
Strategy with: (You can't drive this plane)

--

Name: Albatros D.II
Type: Scout
Specification: For it's time, the Albatros D.II was not only fast and durable,
but exceptionally well-armed with a pair of Spandau machine guns. It was used
bu almost every Jagdstaffeln between September 1916 through early 1917.
Strategy against: The Albatros D.II wasn't as fast as some of the other planes
so you can easily take advantage of that. It can't dive very good either.
Strategy with: Try not to make vertical dives or else your wings may tear off.
Use the agility of this plane to your advantage and turn a lot.

--

Name: Albatros D.III
Type: Scout
Specification: Fast and amazingly maneuverable, the Albatros D.III became the
standard German fighter from early 1917 until early 1918. Though durable, it
could not dive steeply as the bottom wing would tear off.
Strategy against: Like it's predessecor, it couldn't dive too well.
Strategy with: Don't dive steeply to avoid structural failure. The Albatros
D.III is even more agile than the D.II so perform evasive manuevers to confuse
your enemy.

--

Name: Albatros D.Va
Type: Scout
Specification: The Albatros D.Va replaced the D.III as the standard German
fighter from the fall of 1917 until the advent of the Fokker D.VII in the
summer of 1918. Unfortunately, the D.V was heavier than the D.III and was not
near as maneuverable. It soldiered on because the Germans had nothing else to
supplant it.
Strategy against: The D.Va is terribly slow so chase them if they try to
escape.
Strategy with: Try to dive a bit more. The Albatros D.Va is more well built
than the D.III and dives won't hurt your plane as much. Since the D.Va is
quite slow, you're probably going to need to.

--

Name: Aviatik C.I
Type: Bomber
Specification: This single-engined two seater biplane had the observer in the
front cockpit which restricted the arc of fire of the defensive machine gun.
Slow and clumsy, the Aviatik was easy prey by 1916.
Strategy against: Try to attack it from the bottom or head on. There is no gun
in the front and the C.I is helpless. There is a big dead zone for the C.I that
you can take advantage of.
Strategy with: (you can't drive this plane)

--

Name: Fokker D.VII
Type: Scout
Specification: Easy to fly, the Fokker D.VII was probably the best overall
fighter of the Great War. The BMW engine equipped versions could fly higher
than any allied fighter. The D.VII balanced speed, maneuverability, and
vertical performance in one excellent package.
Strategy against: Always try to get on it's tail. The D.VII is maneuverable,
fast, but it's blind if you get it in it's tail.
Strategy with: Try to use evasive maneuvers and use the speed of the plane.
Dive a lot as well to confuse opponents.

--

Name: Fokker Dr.I
Type: Scout
Specification: The Fokker Dr.I triplane was the most agile fighter of the war.
Though it could outmaneuver any Allied aircraft, it could not outrun or
outdive any of it's major opponents. These two weaknesses caused the Dr.I to
fall out of favor, and the type disappeared from the front by mid-1918.
Strategy against: Use your planes diving abilities to catch up to the Dr.I.
However, don't try to follow it's twisting path as that will only waste you
time and probably get you killed.
Strategy with: Turn a lot and try evasive maneuvers frequently.

--

Name: Fokker E.III
Type: Scout
Specification: The Fokker E-type monoplanes were the first aircraft to mount a
sychronized machine gun to fire forward over the cowl. Though slow and
unwieldy, the E.III was a dangerous opponent in it's heyday, mainly because of
it's gun system.
Strategy against: Try to follow it's every move. The E.III doesn't have very
good maneuverability so you can easily follow it and hopefully get a good shot.
Strategy with: Dive frequently. Don't climb to much.

--

Name: Gotha G.IV
Type: Bomber
Specification: The Gotha G.IV bomber was designed to bomb England from bases
along the Belgium coast. Well-armed, it could protect itself from the best
