The Snipe, death by vickers
With out a doubt the Sopwith Snipe is the fastest allied fighter in Red Baron 2! The Snipe has a very good climb rate (when at 80-75 mph) and dives like a devil. Many of the pilots of Red Baron 2 fly this neat fighter, most without using her to her full ability.

The best plan of attack when flying the Snipe, as with all aircraft, is to get well above the Enemy and directly on top of him. rolling on to your back ( reducing throttle) and then pulling back on the joystick intil your sights are on your enemy, when you have had your shoot push open the power and return to the sky above.
