Hey Jason, can we have an RFC Nieuport17 weapons mod? - 04/27/12 06:59 AM
Hi Jason,
Historically, the most common weapon mod of all was the RFC's weapon change to its imported Nieuport fighters. All RFC Nieuports (apart from a handful sent straight from the manufactures to the middle east) had the Vickers machine gun removed and a Lewis gun on a Foster mount added. All the famous Nieuport mounts of the British aces such as Ball, Mannock and Bishop were all armed with just a single Lewis gun on a Fosters mount.
As the field mods are already going to include the option of a lewis gun on the top wing, is it possible to include the RFC variant with no Vickers?
I'll post you a basket full of kittens if you say yes
