A few WWI planes
« on: January 26, 2009, 01:55:48 PM »
If they DO make a WWI addon, heres a few planes I'd like to see added, in the order of their implimentation.

Bombers go from 1915-1918, fighters got from 1914-1918.

In First Eagles, one of the pilot pictures you can select for yourself in the Campaign mode is Snoopy. :)

Missing the Sopwith Snipe from that list.

Ron White says you can't fix stupid. I beg to differ. Stupid will usually sort itself out, it's just a matter of making sure you're not close enough to become collateral damage.

Ialso don't see the sopwith Dolphin or Morane monoplane fighters.

Stupid intrawebs, I got that from http://www.theaerodrome.com/aircraft/ and pasted the two timelines into one image.

I think they missed a few bombers too.

The Red Baron's most famous plane was the Fokker Dr. I.

Also, the list is missing the Nieuport 24 and 28.

Nieuport 24 was just an upgraded 17, so they probably didn't think it deserved its own entry. And the N.28 is the fighter everyone tries to forget- the USAC only had it because the French rejected it for service, and the Americans stopped using them as soon as they could find enough SPADs to replace them in the line squadrons. It's the Buffalo of WWI (at least the US version of the Buffalo).

AFAIK, Douglas Campbell was the only one you could really call an "N.28 Ace", many others got their starts on it but scored the bulk of their kills with SPAD XIIIs.

In DoA the Spad XIII was rarely used because the lack of dispersion made it near impossible to extend from an F1, and 50% of the planes in the arena were F1s.  The Fokker DVII had similar problems because the torque effects of the F1 were so minimal it could easily hang with the DVII in the vertical.

The F1 was the Spixteen of DoA.
