What was the result of the WW1 poll we took a few months ago? Positive? Negative?

Your probably right!   Its a shame too... There is something extremely admirable about the WWI pilots...
For me, even more than the later generations... I think its due to the primitive nature of the technology at
that time... Every sortie was a huge ?..... The diff between life and death, was skill, daring, and a bit of luck..
I guess, that there was a certain level of 'purity' to it all...

I mean really.... If ya like to furball, WWI would be the place for it...

AH.... But the good news is.........

Modern aircraft will never be here.  Or at least, in real terms......  Development of modern aircraft modeling would be too long, expensive and wouldn't see the appropriate ROI for the resources spent. 

So if anything, regardless of voting, we'd be getting Fokker's & Hannover's before Warthog's and Raptor's.

   No one wants to find out how long it takes a Biplane to fly a sector and drop a 10lb bomb out of the cockpit.  :uhoh

How about no ordnance at all and leave it an aerial combat arena.

Check out this Hand Built Albotross DIII on display, with engine run.  Watch till it starts.  200hp engine was gobbs of power in its day.
