      Trying to figure out why we'd need the Sikorsky, 4 engined bomber with no ordnance or targets.
I think the last thing I'd want is yet another landgrab arena. :neener:

Perk the Ansaldo A.1  :rock


Looks like a good list. I am loving the WW1 arena, its been a blast and I can see myself flying in it even when the novelty wears off.

Halberstadt C series (maybe C.V?)- German 2-seater to go with the Brisfit.

Nieuport 17- French light and nimble dogfighter

SPAD VII or XIII- French speed-demon

Albatros D.III- Because its the Albatros D.III :)

Treize (pronounced 'trays')- because 'Treisprezece' is too long and even harder to pronounce.

IMO, considering that these planes take time and rescourses to make there's not much sense in deviating into other theatres or time frames of the war. It makes much more sense, for now, to concentrate the efforts to the latter half of the war in the western front. That way the planeset gets fleshed out faster for special events and makes the default WWI arenas more uniform. So in that light my choises would be:

Albatros D.Va

Halberstadt CL.II or CL.IV (There are many other German two-seaters to pick from, too)

SE5a

SPAD XIII

Oh come on, you just KNOW you want the SPAD XII with the 37mm Hotchkiss gun.

Remember the thread long time ago for hot air baloon duels?  Sounds like this arena would make a good home for them.

With blunderbusses, as in 'Those Magnificent Men in their Flying Machines' - great idea!

My choice of types for three of the next four WW1 aircraft: SE5a, RE8 and FE2b for the RFC/RAF. And let the Huns have the Albatros D.III or D.V so I can laugh when an Albatros lower wing fails in torsion at high speed, just as in real life.
