Germany WW1 Air Tree Expansion

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.

Spoiler

Siemens-Schuckert made a lot of aircraft, so if we need more variety in the german tree it could help.

I won’t lose faith, they’ll eventually decide new planes are needed and we will be here.

US suggestion finally got approved

It’s mostly engine and short wings similar idea to some planes we have.

That would be great after all these jets

some Hansa-Brandenburg planes that could be added:

Now that you mention it I see it now too, hahaha. W.29 and W.33 really do be like that. Stylish

more pipes more speed


Then again aerospace tech mainly German would influence hot rod development (water ethanol injection being the big one) Getting as much o2 in that engine is a must even in WW1

On another note both aforementioned designs look very interwar do not they?
Also had no idea about that fact you said. thanks for info.

It looks a bit more solidly built but its still WW1.

True, the way floats connect seem WW1 to me but otherwise the wings look quite stronger. German diamond shaped naval camo would be gorgeous too, albeit probably locked as a premium.

This may look like a convential WW1 fighter.

It is Linke-Hofmann R.II powered by 4 engines driving single propeller with an upper wingspan of around 42 meters. 2 were built but not flown by the end of WW1.
