A mate of mine has a girlfriend and her brother was at pub and met a bloke who had a friend who said the next plane in Rise of Flight was definately the de Havilland DH-9

Ya can't get more conclusive proof than that.





So why do I want the DH-9? Because it can carry 4 112lb bombs or 2 230lb bombs to the target and then dogfight with the D.VII's on the way home.

Wing Commander R. W. Jackson wrote,
"I found that after shedding the bomb load, the 9, with a good gunner, was capable of quite a lot of fighting. It was possible to tight-turn a Fokker D.VII into a full power stall, also the 9 could be looped quite well - and tightly."

Surely it will be a Gotha or some other evil Hun multi! I dont have RoF yet, don't have a pc capable of running it, am trying to hang on until olegs BOB is released before committing to a build, but if RoF releases a Biff then it will tip me over the edge!!! Biff to me will stand for Buy it f#@ken fast !!!

Cool! I'll buy it.

Didn't get the Handley, but this I'd get. Tide me over until I get a Brisfit

LOL i can't wait to see how this thread turns out

You didn't???

The heck with usefulness, going out on bombing raids alone in the QMB is huge fun!

Solving bomb solutions on the fly, wrestling the brute around, playing with the turrets...it goes on...but blowing stuff up with a string of bombs is a kick.

Not to mention you can take your non-HP-owning friends up.

You're seriously shortchanging yourself here.

A friend bought it for me, and I'm very glad he did, as I've found it absolutely invaluable in testing some important aspects of the sim. But as for fun, I can't say I agree. I find flying bombers to be quite boring, and I find bombing in it to be pretty ho-hum, too. I don't even find dropping bombs from fighters to particularly exciting, but even that's more interesting to me than dropping 'em from bombers. The only good part of dropping them from a bomber instead is that you can drop bigger ones.

How very Y-gen of you.

I have it on good authority that the Roland DVI is next

Sorry but I have it on very good authority that it will be...

All of yall are wrong... Far too long have the Russians gone unrepresented. Introducing their new secret weapon!

ArgonV - great picture

ArgonV,

Thats a Gotha Reelifrikkenbiggshippen. I've flown it in ROF but the flight model is porked. It'll out-turn a camel.

But only 12 engines??? Underpowered!

=MFC=Gunloon

Not necessarily porked F.M. The wingloading may be high but if the power-to-weight ratio is good enough, it should turn well. Just look at how an F-15 weighs many thousands of pounds but turns very well because it also has a lot of power.

I count 16 engines, as some face back.
Cool pic

Brisfit For The Win!

Aha. Didn't notice the pusher blades...

=MFC=Gunloon

Roland D.VI, Halberstadt D.II, SPAD VII, Brisfit, Halberstadt CL.IV would all be interesting planes.

By now, i would even like a variation of existing planes like an early D.V (and then an improved D.Va), early SE5a with HS engine (or even SE5).

I'd like 'em to include the Lun class. Ekranoplan = Awesomeplan! They were developed a little after WW1 but hey, same century is good enough, right?

More AI planes would be nice at least...especially two seaters...getting abit fed up fighting against the same two types all the time...obviously flyable would be superb but I would settle for the time being with more AI planes..
