takeoffs and taxis must have been hell

and it is still faster than h.p.12, Po-2 and Po-2M…

Unsurprisingly the only prototype crashed on landing due to the fact the pilot couldn’t see and with how narrow the landing gear is.

Did a yolk come out when the plane crashed? (it is full white too)

Reading a but more on it the crash was actually on its first ever flight.

And I mean who can blame the guy, it looks like to see ahead of you when landed you had to stand up almost full to see over the nose.

Which whilst landing would be impossible to do.

There is literally zero visibility for the pilot unless you tried leaning over the side which if I had to guess is probably how the crash happened.

Full German WW1 potential is crazy. So many planes.

Also wikipedia has this nice photo:

Fokker Eindecker IV. They tested a plane with 3 mgs. Could be nice premium while production IV as tech tree or just put one IV with 3 mgs in tt.

well it is WW1, of course they tested the limits.
people barely knew the concepts behind a plane.

More planes that WW1 Germany use were that of Hansa und Brandenburgische Flugzeugwerke. Factory that built planes for Germany and Austria-Hungary.

Additionally I think some more variants of Zeppelin-Staaken bomber could be added any reasons against it?

W floatplanes.

Since the beginning, I always wished for WW1 aircraft in the game. Expanding backwards to rank 0 seems like the right idea.

Quadruplane! Naglo D.II. While probably never carried guns it was designed to have them. One such example ingame is Sea Meteor.

Love the proposed tree!

This photo however isn’t the T.28, its the fairly similar looking Austro-Hungarian prototype Lohner 10.20. Lots of very wacky things that you can find from this time!

Good catch. They look somewhat simillar from the side. Tall profile.

Another Variant of AEG G.IV armed with possibly 2 2 cm Becker cannons called AEH G.IVk.

The aircraft has been already proposed on the forum.
