I have some free time from my work with 3 mods.You can give me events plan,i can help
PS
You used Ilya Muromets as bomber for Russia?
 
Thank you for the offer but sadly the mod is not in the matured state that I could take care of events yet.

Yes, the Muromets will be represented as the heavy bombers for Russia. But if you want to really help you could assign historical models according to the techtree for Russia (as far as possible of course). And perhaps you find some good drawings for them while you're researching.
 
@KF: Where were you? :) Welcome back to the community.

For the 1919 models just look for promising prototypes or for models which had their first appeareance at front at the end of the war.


Edit: one change: the ground attack aircrafts are reduced down to 2 models.

I'm looking at these sorts of things for aircraft yeah, anything else?

Just a thing, if the ground attack are no longer in it, would the two-seater fighter aircraft include ones that would otherwise be ground attack sort of planes anyway? Because I've come across many German two-seater ground attack aircraft that are only slightly larger than conventional single-seater aircraft, but they weren't really fighters as such.

I need some full names and pics of some British generals. Are you interested?

Ground attack aircrafts are not cancelled. I just reduced the ground attack models from 3 down to 2. The German models are already done, btw.

Aren't you adding two engined/medium bombers?

Thank you very much, Kretoxian.

The amount of engines is not the only criterion. The first British and the German heavy bombers (G-planes) were two-engined. More important for me were bombload, range and toughness. What could be lacked were a class between heavy bombers and superheavy bombers (German R-planes). But in this class only the Ilya Muromets would fit. It had the bombload and range of what I called 'heavy bombers', but the armament and toughness were similar to a German R-plane. Do you still see any widely used plane not fitting in this techtree?

No, I don't think so.

Caproni Ca.36

crew: 4
motors: 3
endurance: 4,5 h
armament: 2 MGs
bombload (max): 800 kg
range: 600 km


This plane is from 1917. As reference let us take the German Friedrichhafen G.III (heavy bomber) and the German Zeppelin R.VI ('superheavy bomber') from the same year.

Friedrichhafen G.III

crew: 3
motors: 2
endurance: 5 h
armament: 2 MGs
bombload (max): 800 kg
range: 600 km


Zeppelin R.IV

crew: 7
motors: 4
endurance: 7-10 h
armament: 4-6 MGs
bombload (max): 2000 kg
range: 1000 km

According to this comparison Caproni Ca.36 is similar to Friedrichhafen G.III and deserve not to be considered as own class. About the toughness of Caproni Ca.36 I have found no information. The Muromets and R-planes were 'unsinkable'.

I'd say that the reconnaissance airplanes, but i understand that they would be useless due DH's engine limitations...

Check again my previous post, i've updated it...

BTW what combat aircraft are intended to represent? Those French heavily armed fighters like the Breguet XVIIC2 or the Caudron R.11?

Ah, ok. Yes, I have only considered those reconnaissance two-seaters which had any additional combat skill (fighting or bombing). Indeed there were pure reconnaissance airplanes too, but as you already mentioned, I dunno how they could be used in game.
