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.

i believe its a sopwith camel

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.
-
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.
-
Want to see a real AEG GI.V?

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.

That better be a perked plane! :D

Spad XIII''s gotta be the uber ride

Spad XIII''s gotta be the uber ride
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.
-
I'd be in the Fokker E.III :aok
-
too many fokkers for my liking.
-
More of an Albatros man myself :uhoh
-
Pwn you all with Half circles of death. The original ACM
-
Perk the F1!!!! :devil
-
I don't think we'd need all those (but it would be nice eventually).
Here's the one's I'd like to see:
Friedrichshafen GIII
Neuport 17
Spad S.VII (I thought there was an S.VIII)
Bristol F.20
Sopwith Camel
Fokker DR.I
R.A.F. S.E.5a
Fokker D.VII
1 bomber, 7 fighters, more than enough for a good time.
-
Early ones...Sopwith pup and Sopwith triplane.
(I've seen a Sopwith triplane flying once).
Then the Avro whatever the number was (LAnoe Hawker's ride)
Did any of you fly the old Sierra's Red Baron?
-
No Albatross?
For single seat fighters my initial list would be:
Sopwith F1
Sopwith Triplane
SE5a
Spad XIII
Spad VII
Nieuport 17
Fokker D.VII
Fokker Dr.I
Albatross D.III
Did any of you fly the old Sierra's Red Baron?
Yup, and I even tried it online with an ancient modem, but wasn't impressed with the online play.
-
I love pushers...

It looks like Rhinebeck is about to go "bye bye".

I went to Rhinebeck about every other year when I was growing up in the late 70's early 80's.
Truly a one of a kind place, it would be a shame if it were to close.
Here's the one I'd really like to see if they did a WWI plane set.

I've always liked the Dolphin after seeing it at Rhinebeck.
In 1999 I was there and actually bought a rib from the upper wing, and it hangs in my office today.

I think I read somewhere that it was thought by both sides that the Fokker D-VII was the best of WW1, not the fastest but I don't think speed in WW1 was all that important, it was all about the turning!

Someone at the time said about the D.VII (if I'm quoting accurately) that it "turned mediocre pilots into good pilots, and good pilots into aces".
But its still not a sexy as an Albatros D.III or D.V :)

Actually, the DVII was a great fighter because it didn't lose so much performance above 12k ft, compared to e.g. the F1.
-
The D VII AFAIK was the ultimate fighter of WWI. A runner up would be the Sopwith Snipe.
Actually beginning with a model of the VII.....
Anyway, it had a good allround performance, either very good or best in every category. And it could also hang on the prop rather than spinning out. Good enough to be banned in the treaty of Versailles.
So, Anthony Fokker moved to Holland ...
