Great Britain WW1 Air Tree Expansion

[joshje100]

*Added

Billy Bishop's Nieuport 17 *1

Sopwith Salamander

Sopwith Dragonfly-Snipe *2

*1 Added Billy Bishop’s Nieuport 17 over his S.E.5 as there is already an S.E.5 premium, that being from Edward “Mick” Mannock and also since Bishop earned his Victoria Cross for his actions whilst flying the Nieuport 17.

*2 Decided on adding the Dragonfly-Snipe over the Dragon as the Dragonfly-Snipe prototype with the Dragonfly I engine flew before the end of the war whilst the Dragon with the IA engine flew later in 1919.

german one go through yet ?

[joshje100]

Not yet.

[joshje100]

A bunch of suggestions are being passed now so it looks like the backlog will finally be cleared. Hopefully it’s not too long before my USA, French, Russian, Italian, and German WW1 Air TT Expansion suggestions are approved.

[O_Warrior0]

Make a WW1 TT for each nation then for sure this can get implented some day.

[joshje100]

Well, here’s the German suggestion

Germany WW1 Air Tree Expansion

[image] World War One is a considered to be a major turning point in the way wars are fought, it pioneered the use of new technologies and tactics that still influence conflicts in the current day. The War to End All Wars ravaged mainland Europe, parts of Africa, and the Middle East through the years of 1914 to 1918. It saw the introduction of many new technologies such as machine guns, chemical warfare, tanks, and the topic of this suggestion - combat aircraft. At the start of the war aircraf…

I love this idea, +1 for the Sopwith Camel & Zeppelins

[SoulBuffalo7]

The Prototype Vickers Vampire! flew in 1917

~ 4 built.

[Black_Red_Baron]

Also some of the Port Victoria PV planes too. Could be premiums.
P.V.9 as an example:

Already got the DH.2

@joshje100

The Airco DH.2 was a development of the DH.1, it was developed as a single seat fighter and entered service in July of 1915. It would be powered by a single Gnome Monosoupape 9-cylinder rotary engine generating 100hp which gave it a top speed of 150kph. It was fitted with a single 7.7mm Lewis Gun and Le Prieur rockets for use in destorying observation ballons. You can read a bit more about it in this suggestion - Airco - Airco DH.2: The plane to end the Fokker Scourge

[joshje100]

The P.V.8 if ever added would be the plane with the weakest engine in the game producing just 35hp but still managing to get it to a top speed of 152kph.

But it is very lightweight and small even for WW1. Designed to takeoff from Royal Navy ships to shootdown Zeppelins but never seeing actual service.

thx missed it

Spoiler

[Black_Red_Baron]

More possible planes:
Vickers E.F.B.7 armed with 37 mm cannon,

Breadmore W.B.V armed with different 37 mm, Le-Puteaux cannon.

While never reaching operational status and being unreliable some aircrafts did carry “special” 1.59-inch breech-loading Vickers Q.F. gun, Mk II.

I am in favor of WW1-interwar vehicles.

I do have issues with current tech tree. The replacing reserve tier or ranks 0-0.7 would not be ideal in this case.
But I think tech tree issues are a separate thing, so your mini tree “rank 0” looks good at a first glance.

[joshje100]

Added.

[disco_mart]

Would also flesh out the Hungarian tree within Italy (Austro-Hungarian obvs.)

[Black_Red_Baron]

I am in process of making TT of A-H + what Swiss had :). I would not make it part of Italy though since they were enemies during the war.

World War 1 vehicles are a must
