I had some fun running the various incorrect aspects of the German side of the game by the Germans in my life, and expanded on it accordingly on the page.
-->WER IST ABWESENDIST ES '''SIE'''?[[note]]Probably intended as something akin to "WHO IS MISSING? COULD IT BE '''YOU'''?", as if the Kaiser is shaming you for not enlisting. Actually says "WHO IS ABSENTIS IT '''SHE'''?", as if the Kaiser is shaming ''women'' for not enlisting, and also forgot where the space bar was on his typewriter.[[/note]]

* StandardHollywoodStrafingProcedure: Strafing is road-aligned, has muzzle-flashes and MG noises, can have a pattern of bullets approaching the target, only direct hits cause damage, and some missions require strafing infantry. Infantry may take cover or dodge, while vehicles make no reaction (other than AA-guns counter-firing). There's also only one pass of the plane.

Breather level is YMMV, and the non-YMMV version doesn't seem to fit yet.

* BreatherLevel: The difficulty level of missions varies, with an easy one thrown in from time to time (e.g. 10 August 1916 is a patrol with 2 wingmen, against one enemy). While there may be a few in a row and may feel erratic, it's still expected as warfare has easy and hard portions at times.

* AntiAir: Also known as Archie. The shells cause the plane to spin out of control, as opposed to just causing some damage.
* CollisionDamage: There's a chance to survive a mid-air collision, where you at least have some control over the plane. Otherwise, your pilot is killed while you watch your plane fly crash into the ground.
* ConvenientMisfire: There's a chance for the guns to jam for a few minutes, during combat. They're unjammed more quickly for pilots with a mechanical aptitude.
