Add two new aircraft to the WW1arena

[pops04]

I would like to have these two aircraft added to the WW1 roster.
1: Spad.
2: Pfalz.
Both of these aircraft saw use throughout the WW1 war though granted by the middle of the war they were trying to phase out these warbirds. They were never truly phased out of the WW1 arsenal. I am asking for these aircraft because we are seeing more people in the WW1 arena and some are asking “are these the only planes we have?”  I regrettably have to tell them that’s it. No other aircraft.

If any aircraft get added (doubtful) they should be in the WW2 planeset IMO as it gets used the most.

WW1 is fun an all dont get me wrong, but I'd much rather have fiat g55 or J2M over a WW1 aircraft

I don't limit myself. I doubt anything else will ever be added again. I'll take what comes.

Ah, so if hitech just added something like the G3M, you'd eat a hat?

(note: hats CAN be made of bacon, so...)

How does being happy if anything gets added equate to eating my hat?

Bacon hat; and because it's made of bacon?  Besides, I got a laugh outta this.  No rhyme or reason, just funny.   Ye be cool beans.


But sadly, I've derailed the hell outta this one.  So let me put it back on topic:


Honestly it wouldn't be a bad thing if more WWI aircraft are added, but I don't see it going very far for the time invested.  If there was more depth to the arena, maybe.  To my understanding the modeling behind those aircraft is much higher than those used in the WW2 side, so the time invested into a new WWI aircraft will likely not be worth it sadly.   Would be neat still.

This one shouldn't be all that hard:

I guess it would depend on where they end up.  Around a field would be pointless since the AA is death and you'd likely see someone gripe about them being in the way.  Dotted around the map, maybe, but how many would be around?

I'd have to say a dirigible or two of some kind would probably be a better add in that case.  Far enough from each other as to not engage one another, but close enough with a flight path that meant you'd either have to take time to fly around them or shoot them down.

If that aircraft is a bomber, I'd be all over that in a heartbeat.

Albatros D.Va

Albatros D.Va

This!

[Arlo]

Per the OP's original request:

SPAD (no specific model: VII, XII, XIII)


SPAD XIII - late war fighter

PFalz D.III


PFalz D.III - late war fighter (considered inferior to the Albatross)

Per Perdue:

Albatross D.Va


Albatross D.Va - late war fighter

Per me:

Royal Aircraft S.E.5


S.E.5 - late war fighter

If all 4 models were modeled that would double the current inventory.



But even one of these models may be quite a bit of work. ShruG

I was just thinking what the counter to the Albatross would be, and I couldn't help but think the SE5.

Alto:
    I was initially looking at the Spad XIII and instead of the Pfalz the D5a. It gives some of the guys in the arena a little more variety of aircraft. After all the aircraft in the Main Arena I figure at least 6 in the WW1 arena isn’t much to ask. Plus M/A has GV’s and boats. And this is a flight sim. Not just WW2.
