Re: EAW WW1 Theatre
Yes, it's the best idea, in the end, in the video games I've played, the zeppelin is slow but also sturdy. Sorry if I'm being a bother, but I have another idea for a German aircraft that's interesting, and you already have the model done: the Fokker E.IV. Depending on the version you get, it has two...

Re: EAW WW1 Theatre
I have an idea for the zeppelin, which could be implemented depending on several factors such as the type of engines, weather conditions, operational range, and payload. Based on these variables, its speed could range from approximately 75–80 km/h up to 100 km/h. It would also be worth considering a...

Re: EAW WW1 Theatre
I know of an iconic and interesting airplane that doesn't appear much in the media: The Etrich Taube The Etrich Taube was a pioneering monoplane aircraft designed by Austrian engineer Igo Etrich in 1909. Its shape was inspired by the tropical Zanonia seed, which glides naturally through the air. The...

R31 was deployed for naval patrols and convoy escort duties. It was stationed at East Fortune in Scotland but suffered severe water damage while ...

Re: EAW WW1 Theatre
Small question, is there any remote possibility that the zeppelin will appear on the map controlled by the game's own AI? https://www.aircraftinvestigation.info/airplanes/images/Zeppelin_LZ38_LZ38/image5.png The LZ 38 was a German Zeppelin that carried out the first air raid on London during World W...

Re: EAW WW1 Theatre
On the Nieuport 11 I'm working on, the rudder has the following designation - a large capital "N" with the numbers 1456 directly underneath in smaller figures. I think it might be a squadron "N" with the aircraft serial number under it but I really don't know. What say you? The ...

Re: EAW WW1 Theatre
You might also be interested in seeing this while flying on the Western Front since after the stagnation of both armies and the beginning of the use of trenches, it would be normal to see these observation balloons when the German advance stopped and the war took another turn at the end of 1914.
