I would guess top secret.

We know the gotha is in the mix and I am guessing from some of the airbases in the game, that zeppelins may be coming as well. I bet we see a Sopwith comic as well. I bet we see german raids on england and home defence squadrons coming in a big way.

For those that haven't seen the Wilhelmshaven airfield with its zeppelin hangars:

Or Tondern:

Yes the Gotha and Zep will be coming in an addon pack as part of the WW1 attacks on London and envirions...

Again you will get the craft and the squads and the campaign play and skins etc to live through these events.

No date set yet.

And yes others are planned.

That sounds awesome, Mark! Now we just have to guess the others... LOL

Maybe a Hanriot HD1 and some Austro-Hungarian craft on the Italian front...? wink

Then as long as you got the Hanriot, you put out one for the Belgians and add a Nieuport 10, as the Nieuport 23 and 16 and camel are already in there, that would pretty much cover their operational a/c



Lots of possibilities I could think of and list. Will be interesting to see what you guys do! You'll be getting my money for sure. Happy New Year!

Except of course for the Bleriot XI, MF11bis, Farman F40, Farman F60, FBA 1, Breguet 14, SPAD XI, Voisin L, the Belgian-modified BE2, Belgian-modified RE8, and all their unique GN planes, such as the GN2, GN3, GN4, GN5. Then, that would more closely pretty much cover their operational a/c. smile

Oh, and the Ponnier M.1, but I doubt we'll care if they omit that one!

If I may ask, what aircraft are not yet implemented in WOFF that would have the largest impact in terms of numbers? I'm thinking the Albatros C two-seaters should be near the top of that list, but I'm no research historian so I have no idea how many by type there were.

In terms of expansions I'd prefer a balance between things that are fun, but were not produced in great numbers (i.e. Zeppelins) and those that would fill out the environment like the Albatros CIII. Minor niggling variants of existing types are not my cup of tea and I wouldn't prefer those at all.

Probably a dumb question, but will we be able to fly/man the guns of the zep or will they simply be available targets in a mission?

French two-seaters. The French produced a huge amount of various types of two-seaters and they were also used by the Americans and practically all the other Entente powers. Breguets, Salmsons, Dorands, Farmans, Caudrons, SPADs etc. etc. etc.

Variants are also important to have, because there were often significant differences between them. For example the two variants of the SPAD S.VII, one with a 150 hp engine and the other with 180 hp, had a major difference in performance.

It's also easier for the devs to add variants that don't require completely new 3D models to be made. I've heard that it's very time-consuming work to create a 3D model from scratch.

I'll gladly buy every addon.

I know this is a FLIGHT SIM (i.e. more planes the better), but since I liked the RPG aspect of RB3D, I'd like to see it fleshed out a bit (not even sure if it's already included in WOFF):

1. Able to choose wingmen on missions
2. Parts of "OFFice" MOD in OFF: like the interactions with your sqadmates.
3. Attacking your own side has negative impacts: immediate transfer, days/months spent in prison, ??
4. Loosing X number of pilots per day greatly reduces morale or people stop transfering into that unit. Opposite effect if # of successful missions is increased then morale increases.

3) is in, but the effect is a reprimand and your chances of promotion are reduced

4) is in, reduces morale.

But I can say there is no intention at the moment of changing/adding to the base game concepts until we see how sales go.
There is so much already in WOFF that it will take players a long time to fully experience the effects of it all.

With this attacking London addon will this contain any anti shipping?

Hope sales are good, as these addon packs will be very nice.

Re: the Belgians, there was a lot more to the Aviation Militaire Belge than just fighters. Farmans, SPAD XIs, Breguets, Strutters, BE2s, RE8s were all major operational airplanes for the Belgians. For instance, they had as many or more of those makes/models than SPAD VIIs. To omit, say, Farmans from any Belgian expansion pack would be glaring oversight/historical disservice--as we experience in other sims.

Re: add-ons, I'm sure I'll buy any/all.

So if the Fokker scourge is released without certain early planes like say the FB5 will there be a chance of a Dev re-visit of this part of the war sometime to fill some gaps with the odd plane here and there?
