I get a kick out of folks talking about the Red Baron and the triplane he's kown for. In actuality he scored most of his kills before aquireing the DR1. The DR1 was actually built because sopwith had a triplane on the front lines that was doing well. There were not that many sopwith triplanes built but the few that made it to the lines were doing the job. The fokker DR1 was a poorly built machine. Fokker did not believe in engineering calculations. The DR1 was almost as dangerous for the germans as they were for the brits. They had a terrible problem with the top wing leaving the aircraft.
A game like AHII might never be "finished". With all the whining that goes on within this forum about squeakers, tool shedders, etc. I suspect that a WWI game would not have squeaker or tool shedders. It would have a more pure ACM environment though.
I think the top speed there is literally hopelessly far below the 190's stall speed...
Nah, a D.VII could do about 120mph. Now a DR1 triplane, that is hopeless. I think it tops out at about 75mph.
HMMMMM how long would it take for you till kill an entire town with a few .30 cal bi-planes...
I doubt this would have a "WIN T3H W0R!!!" involved. It'd be straight up ACM.
Winning the war with feats of arms kinda goes against the whole WWI theme.
I'd like to get a new terrain with the WWI arena as well. New Terrain, new Arena, and new planes.
Maybe try to balance everything out somewhat as far aswhat is available from that era.. Put a progressive perk cost on all the jets except entry level rides that wouldn't fair much better than piston rides..
