How the fuck is it possible when the French had many more men in the sky than Britain over the Western Front? Was that because there were defined sectors even for planes and Manfred was operating in a British one, or is it simply because British pilots were of such lesser quality that they were easier to down than French ones?
French pilots were much better for sure but I doubt that was the reason behind it.

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

This obviously. Please stop baiting /int/ tier responses
Ethan Rodriguez
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)
Eli Watson
No they weren't.
Christian Gonzalez
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.
Julian Stewart
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 ;)

>implying pilots werent pansies who became pilot to escape the brutality of trench warfare
Angel Torres
Typically the Entente weren't not all together for every battle. Manfred was just simply tasked during more British - German battles then French - German
didnt frontline troops get rotated in and out fairly quickly
Christian Rodriguez
Nope
Brayden Jenkins
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
Easton Jackson
British pilots were very bad Thats why the top British Empire ace was Canadian and not British
Ayden Anderson
Canadians are just snow brits.
Isaiah Davis
The French were to fearful to send out scouting aircraft so all his victims were british
Thomas Powell
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
Nicholas Young
Well, the French had more tanks than Germany (or anyone in Europe) in WWII, and look what happened.
Easton Taylor
Did Fonk meet Richtofen? Thats probably why
Luke Baker
Or maybe it's the contrary Maybe Richtofen was able to get so many victories because he only fought Brits
