Twin Vickers Sopwith Triplane

Recommended Posts

I removed the single stock Vickers and added two new "Weapon_Stations" to the data.ini. In the Triplanes's "Loadout" there is now the default "Dual Vickers" displayed.

 

Only a handfull were made and because of the extra weight they were less manuverable and slower than the regular Tripes. They were mainly used by Naval 1 in mid Summer of 1918 for low level intercepts and ground attack. Especially when the weather was poor and enemy aircraft would fly low and slow.

 

 

I just made a new skin for the Triplane (a very hard model to paint) and I will be redoing all of my old ones. I created a new nation called "Royal Naval Air Service". And I also created new decals to go along with it. Roundels without the white border will appear from the beginning of the war till mid summer 1917. The white border then appears in July1917 till the end of the war. But on April 1,1918 the nation name "Royal Naval Air Service" (RNAS) will change to " Royal Air Force" (RAF). It's very cool. I dont know why I havnt done this sooner. Keep in mind you will have to rename the aircraft or skins yourself for which ever you would like to be an RNAS aircraft. In my Triplanes Data.ini I changed the "NationName=RAF" to "NationName=RNAS/RAF (I named it this way because all RNAS Squadrons became RAF squadrons in April1918.) You'll see soon. I'll be doing the Pups too.

I'm very sorry, quack, but i don't see the point here. This very same Triplane version has been available in Peter01 FMs for ages, and the RNAS is available as country in Capitaine Vengeur's Medals Pack (I know it, since I'm flying a RNAS campaign in Armchair Aces).
