Red Baron: Can someone explain this?

French pilots were much better for sure but I doubt that was the reason behind it.

>>2491313
>Was that because there were defined sectors even for planes and Manfred was operating in a British one,

Certainly this one. You think they just wandered wherever they felt like?

>>2491313
>Was that because there were defined sectors even for planes and Manfred was operating in a British one

This obviously. Please stop baiting /int/ tier responses

>>2491366
That doesnt remove the /int/ tier implications (aka that if Manfred hadnt had the luck to be assigned to a sector manned with incompetent Brits, he'd have soon been BTFO and would never have acquired such fame)

>>2491320
No they weren't.

>>2491381
You're literally moving into racial pseudo science here. Stop.

Also, stop disrespecting pilots who fought bravely and died a hundred years ago, you pathetic little shit. I'd like to see you fight in ww1 you pasty ass shit.

>>2491313
pilots didnt free roam you mongolid, they operated in specific operational sectors.

>why did the luftwaffe have aces with hundreds of kills, is it because they were better ;)

>>2491388
>implying pilots werent pansies who became pilot to escape the brutality of trench warfare

Typically the Entente weren't not all together for every battle. Manfred was just simply tasked during more British - German battles then French - German

Notice how the French weren't really involved here

You realise Pilots were far more likely to be killed and had a lifespan average measured in hours?

didnt frontline troops get rotated in and out fairly quickly

>>2491411
Nope

>>2491411
Brits at least had a system of rotation that meant relatively little time was spent in the very frontline trenches, they were rotated back through reserves and also R&R

British pilots were very bad
Thats why the top British Empire ace was Canadian and not British

>>2493348
Canadians are just snow brits.

>>2491313
The French were to fearful to send out scouting aircraft so all his victims were british

>>2493370
Then how comes the top allied ace of WW1 was French?
The French had more aircraft in the sky and conduced more aerial operations than Brits, but Manfred being a clever guy, he tried his best to only ever face Brits in order to lower his chances of being shot down

>>2491313
Well, the French had more tanks than Germany (or anyone in Europe) in WWII, and look what happened.

>>2493386
Did Fonk meet Richtofen?
Thats probably why

>>2493426
Or maybe it's the contrary
Maybe Richtofen was able to get so many victories because he only fought Brits

>muh k/d
