I believe we need to following:
Albatros D.III
SPAD S.XIII
Nieuport 17
Nieuport 28


but I would much rather see HTC work on WWII  :bolt:

Fokker D.VIII/E.V - non-perk for the E.V, but the wing comes off, perk the D.VIII with the more reliable wing!  :lol
Spad XIII
Nieuport 28
Sopwith Pup
Sieman Schuckert D.III/IV

If they open the arena to anything other than DA-style play, Halberstadt CL.II, Caproni, Gotha, etc...

Close, but if I had to pick the most significant mid-late war fighters, I'd say:

Albatros DIII & DV
SE5A
Spad VII & XIII
Nieuport 17&28

Perkies would have to go to these:

Sopwith Dolphin and Snipe
Fokker DVIII
Siemens-Schuckert D IV
Junkers CL1


It'd be good to also see:

Nieuport 11 and 28
Sopwith Pup, 1 1/2 Strutter, Triplane
Hanriot H.D.1
Pfalz DIII
R.E. 8
Hanover CLIII
Halberstadt CL Series
Rumpler C Series
Siemens-Schuckert D. III

Bombers:
Gotha G. 5
Handley-Page 0/400

That's get us a good late-war set, with more added later for early war (though, arguably, the Nieuport Bebe is a little out of place here).


Oh, screw it. They should just add 'em all - and ALL the WWII birds, too - every single flocking one of 'em.

Some say revenge is a dish best served cold. I say it's usually best served hot, chunky, and foaming. Eventually, you will all die in my vengeance vomit firestorm.

you could've picked a better bomber but here are some of my ideas:

Albatros D.III or D.V or both

SE5a(THE early RAF dogfighter)

Spad VII or XIII or both
