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?

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.

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.

I would like to sugges the AEG (Allgemeine Elektricitäts-Gesellschaft) G.IVk (Gotha) (Kanone)
This version was only produced 5 times at the end of the war as a dedicated armored and cannon gorund attacker and armed bomber, however came too late and as likely didnt saw service.
In game it would be certainly a 1.0 Plane, with relatively usable armarment and fit next to the Po-2 in the current gameplay. It would show the very early (WW1) development of German Aircraft and Bombers.
However f…

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

As The Great War consumed Europe one powerful nation sat on the side lines waiting to join and in April 1917 the United States of America would enter the War to End All War as part of the Triple Entente.
World War One is considered by many to be the first “modern war”. Ravaging mainland Europe, parts of Africa and South East Asia the War to End All War brought about new age of warfare and along with it new technologies in which to wage it. One of the most impactful new technologies wa…
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.
