How can ww1 aircraft be implemented into air discussion

That would be a slow boring game for sure ,as much’s I like WW1 planes.
1BR is bad enough as it is.

firstly WT does not do eras ,as us WW2 fans are told and it seems to be true so you will find yourself in your SE5 fighting a peashooter or whatever and that will pour water on the vibe pretty quick
WW1 also had four years of development and the uptier will make a meal of that 1914 plane vs 1918 ? No thanks.

secondly most console players cant even fly ,we dont have the physics so rely on boom and zoom or luck.Maybe some have full flight controls then OK.

WW1 planes and airships etc could be good but what you are expecting is not what Gaijin will deliver just like WW2 is not what it should be.

You are all fantasying over a game that is not this one as any real WW2 enthusiast will tell you.

one sopwith pup pilot racked up 46 kills during the war it was the dawn of dogfighting a area which should be in game it makes no sense we skipped the great age of dog fighting

i could pretty easily kill any reserve or even later aircraft in a awww1 prop yeah there slow buut only about 100mph compared to standard reserve aircraft and the guns arent horrible as they would be 7.62s vickers machine guns which arent horrible as still due damage to wooden planes and console players arent a excuse to not add it we could just give them shrunken maps which we do for all brs shrunken or scalled up

for example they arent super slow as top speed of your average reserve is 200mph and sopwith pup a ww1 fight did like 110 130 mph not a major difference but to make up for that they are amazing turnfighters

ww1 fokker dr1 could out dogfight the he51 as it would use its crazy turn rate and good energy retention

Also, between WW1 and current reserve planes (most from thd very early 30s) there are plenty of planes that bridge the gap, WW1 planes would nevr have to face current reserve tier, vecause of the many in between options. For almost all factions

If they ever added WWI stuff to the game I feel like we’d get air BRs pushed up another 2-3 BRs or Gaijin would add all the WWI stuff in possibly a side tree that would only face other WWI stuff

Adding WW1 aircraft might finally get Gaijin to properly decompress the BRs

It sounds like War Thunder hell .I can’t imagine plodding along in this game at 100mph
and with the ghastly uptier .No thanks.Then we have team kills…no.

How would Japan,China,Sweden or Israel get involved? You had coalitions that the game does not do.
