I'm not sure if this has been covered much before, so apologies if it has. I would like to see more of an E3 vs DH2 timeframe if possible in the future. Right now E3's vs 11's and 17's is a bit rough. Even if they could back up the career mode a couple of months might help as opposed to going all the way back to 1915. Not sure when the morane bullet came into play as I'm not a WW1 historian. Anyone hear anything about 777 having the career start earlier?

From a very general POV, I can't understand why anyone would buy the Fokker Eindecker. Who are you going to take on? Aircraft that can run rings around you and historically did. Another point: what is the likelihood of the early years skies being filled any time soon with authentic aircraft? It's not a problem isolated to RoF, but I suspect that the pay-per-plane model might be found wanting in this particular area.

I must respectfully disagree with SimonC. I think there is a lot of interest in a more fleshed and historically accurate early war career. There just aren't enough planes at the moment to do it correctly. I think with the interest I've seen on these and the official forums we will see more early war aircraft for sale in the future. As for the Eindecker not being able to compete, I'll agree with you there. I just see it as a nice challenge.

Wasn't the DH2 one of the response's to help curb the "Fokker Scourge" in the early war? I agree the way it is now there isn't much reason to fly an E3 but thats my point. Earlier in the war they were more of a factor

There's not a lot of incentive to add early/pre-1916 aircraft when there are still 1917-18 aircraft needed to be modeled. As such, I am glad 777 is adding aircraft the way they are, instead of haphazardly adding planes as was the case with IL2.

(Note: the game's title in Russia is "War in the Heavens - 1917").

There isn't a need to add earlier planes...they are already there. I was just just asking for more of a match up of E3's vs DH2's. They just need to back up the timeframe a bit where these 2 models faced each other instead of E3's facing 11's and 17's. If you read my original post closer you would see I wasn't asking for additional planes. My question about the morane bullet was just for knowledge, always hated that plane in RB3D.

And the point of my reply is that we would need more planes for an earlier 1916 career, namely two-seaters. Until those are modeled, there isn't a point in backing up the career start date.

Irc the NP11 reached the front before the DH2. There were a couple of DH2s posted to France in 1915 but actual squadron deployment started in early 1916, same as the NP11. Before then single seat aircraft were attached in small numbers to 2 seater squadrons rather than being deployed solely in single seat units.

What's needed are 1916 era 2 seaters, I'm sure 777 have some planeed. I can understand people wanting to start career mode as early as possible but at the moment, the planeset just isn't there. If you're happy with Nieuports pretending to be 2 seaters and such then go for it but I really don't see the point. From mid 1917 onwards its great

A bristol scout would be nice.

RoF still completelly lacks french recon for 1917-1918 (RoF Breguet is bomber) IMO after RE8 and Halberstadt Cl.II next plane should be recon for french that can be used 1917-1918.
