JimAttrill 24 Posted December 28, 2009 There is also a SPAD 2-seater. Billy Mitchell flew one because I have seen a photo. Don't know how much it was used though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Creaghorn 10 Posted December 28, 2009 No problem Duce, it's always good to listen to the needs of the players. :) You could break the need list down to a few per nationality based on imiportance to the game as well as value to the campaign. Huns: Rumpler C.I (C.Ia and C.II) - this plane type was introduced in 1915 and with a few engine swaps, lasted the entire war, much like the DFW. Halberstad CL.II - a leathal answer to the Brisfit. Used extensively in an attack/bomber role. Often used as escort to other 2-seaters Albatros C.III - Early to Mid war. Excellent bomber/recon crate. Aviatik C.I - Early war only - phased out by Albatros C.II and C.III Pfalz D.XII - late war compliment to the Fokker D.VII series used mostly by Bavarian units in the southern sectors. AEG type bombers - Night operations Gotha - used only in Koghol/Boghol 3 and for bombing LHR. Other than that, non-factor in game. SSW D.III/D.IV - Would be fun to have in the game, saw limited action and had the same mystery behind it as the Fokker E.V. Many mechanical issues with it's engines. Fokker E.I/E.II and E.IV - Early war expansion. Fokker D.II/D.III - not as favorable as the Halberstad D.II but saw action Albatros D.I - Early war and the start of the Albatros 'revolution' Roland D.II and older variants. Brits: Snipe - Late war did not see much action as the war was over before it could really make a deep impact. Much like the Pfalz D.XII and Fokker D.VIII. Airco DH4 - would help with Yanks as well. Great 2-seater. Big Ack - same as above. Another British workhorse. Vickers Gunbus - excellent for early war. Many German victories were listed as 'Vickers Type', covering the Entente's early reliance on pusher type planes based on this planes design/profile. Martinsyde G.100 - first used as a fighter, then better suited for a bomber BE2a - earlier BE2c variant with pilot/observer reversed. French: Voisin III - Early war Cauldron G.IV - heavily used early war aircraft. Classic look of an old WWI plane. Dorand AR-1 - good mid-war 2 seater for the French, rather than relying on the Sopwith Strutter as an all purpose plane. Breguet B-14 - perfect for the French to finish the war with and also adding to the USAS as they used it as well. Belgian... oooo! Would be nice! Hanriot HD-1 Feel free to add more to the list. It would be nice to have a running one we could use to draw from. OvS maybe farmans for early war. maybe also barrage balloons. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ConradB 0 Posted December 28, 2009 There is also a SPAD 2-seater. Billy Mitchell flew one because I have seen a photo. Don't know how much it was used though. Are you referring to the SPAD A2 and A4? Which had a "pulpit observer nacelle in front of the plane. It was powered by a LeRhone 80h.p. rotory for the A2, and the 110h.p. LeRhone for the A4. France used 42 of the A2, and 57 were sent to Russia. As for the A4, France purchased 1, and 10 went to Russia where they are said to have been used on operations there. http://www.pilotfriend.com/photo_albums/timeline/SPAD%20A2.htm There is also the Bleriot SPAD XVIII 2 seater from 1917, but I'm not finding a decent pic to link to. It was a standard tractor biplane configuration with the observer behind the pilot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

+Polovski 441 Posted December 29, 2009 OK so that list takes up up to 2015 what then? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JFM 18 Posted December 29, 2009 OK so that list takes up up to 2015 what then? How 'bout historically accurate airfields? Can that be done? Regarding two-seaters, +1 for them. I'll throw in the SPAD XI and the AGO C.I for consideration, although perhaps not for the first round of releases. Also, IMO it'd be nice to have AI-only two-seaters. BTW, my comp should be back next week and I can finally buy HITR. Looking forward to it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just finished my research with google earth and aerodromes v.Richthofen visits. Great look and feeling, cause some are with streetview, so you can look directly as you stand in it. Example Roucourt. It would be very nice to see the churchtower and the town in the back and the famous wood on the left. vschoell Edited December 30, 2009 by vschoell Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
carrick58 23 Posted December 30, 2009 Just my 2 cents, I would vote for Two seaters on both sides of the fence. They were after all the most used. Hopefully, some would be flying alone so our kill scores could be increased. Nice Tender early Two seaters mmmmmmmmmmmmm. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
