Josef Priller was an active fighter pilot for the whole war period starting from September 1939 to the January 1945. Since 1940 he was assigned to the Western front. His specialty was a Spitfire. He knocked down the most planes of those type among all Luftwaffe pilots.
He used to fly on Bf109E (Yellow 1 in 6/JG52), Bf109F (white 1 in 1/JG26) , Fw190A (well known Black 13 Jutta from III/JG26) and Fw190D during Operation Bodenplatte (Black 14 JG26). Most of the aircrafts flown by Priller are available in the Warlordgames offer as well as in the third party portfolio.
For all those who would like to collect Josef Priller's aircrafts I can recommend the decal set designed by Arek Stamm available at his marketplace on the Facebook.
In Blood Red Skies Pips Priller is one of my favourite named aces due to the combination of his ace skills. Tactical Wizard gives opportunity to overtake initiative at the start of the game, while I know your type blocking effect of the enemy Trait cards. As a named ace Priller has an additionally bonus +1 to the Firepower and cost 130pts.
Priller is deadly option in the late war heavy armed fighter (as Fw190A or D) especially against the aircrafts with defensive traits as Robust or Deep Pockets (which could be blocked by I know your type ace skill). Therefore his main prey in the Blood Red Skies would be Hurricane, Beaufighter, Mustang, Wellington or B17.
In the Bf109E or F he can exploit his other skill that gives him opportunity to take over initiative at the start and execute Hit and run tactic (for example using Sustained Dive doctrine).
