      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 :)

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

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.

A few of my picks for new WWI planes are as follows.

1. Albatros DIII  German
2. Spad XIII      French
3. Arico D.H 2    British
4. Fokker E.III   German

I'd only add the 1916-16 a/c if we ever get a rolling planeset. Would be a totally useless against the later rides- too slow, too unmaneuverable, and too fragile.

And I just want the D.Va so we can skin this one. :)

While I really do want to see the earlier stuff like the Airco and the Nieuport, heck, all the way back to the Eindecker... I have to agree with Wmaker's idea.  Flesh out the late war, then bring in the earlier stuff.  Albatros D.Va, Spad XIII, since we've got the D VII, maybe the Sopwith Snipe for parity?

Not sure what my fourth would be.

Yep of all the WWI planes the Albatros D Va was the best looking bird of the war. I would love to see it in the game along with the Fokker D VIII. I think only about 400 VIIIs got built before the end of the war.

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:

Post by: JHerne on March 15, 2010, 12:07:41 AM
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.

Post by: warphoenix on March 15, 2010, 12:49:40 PM
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

aw man I forgot the last on I was gonna post!
