Yeah, I want a Curtiss Hawk 81.  Never going to happen.

Yep…I want a proper P-40E  - still hasn’t happened.

[JG4_Moltke1871]

I wish everyone another nice Friday ?

I can’t wait the first ingame pictures of some planes current in development ?

You are a proper man Moltke. Not one to suffer the slings and arrows from those of a lesser calibre. A well-bred man of class and good taste. And above all, an Fe2b lover. Such a beautiful image. Salute!

I want everything, and it never happens

Another Fe2b fan here, what a machine, basically, a flying bathtub!

In General I'm excited about two seaters. Love the elegance of an DH.4, the Power of an Breguet, the quirky DFW…

I never flown the FEB2 (never played ROF) but I am SURE I will love that plane ?

The Roland C.II is an plane I can’t wait for next year. And no fighter plane have an extra seat to transport beautifully ladies ?

Yes but if the engine is behind you instead of in front, how will you ensure she gets covered in oil?

[JG4_Moltke1871]

And BTW, thanks for complement @ST_Catchov, we are brothers in mind ?

More longer think about that plane only can see advantages ?

The fact that you two want to go flying in a bath tub actually means, you are 'nutters' in mind!

As long we didn’t do it naked everything is fine….  but no guarantees… ??

[jeanba]

After the Fe2b, let's wish for the Spad A2:

What do you think ?

 

The gunner is in front of the propeller, how nice !!!!

 

Of course, performances are bad enough

In that case your Fe.2b will be called ''Chilly Willy''...

This is a sexy two seater

a bathtub with gun would be cool to have. But not at 3000 feet lumbering under the speed of a Citroen 2 cv. With capable fighters can choose where they appear. 

[[CPT]Crunch]

Need some new shots of the IAR in the AIR.

[LukeFF]

No development update today, but things are progressing. New animations are being made for the FE2b's gunner, and they look great. ?

He can fall out of the cockpit by careless flying? He vomits by careless flying? ?

Yeah... until Jasta 11 turns up. ⚰️

Alright, mini update today, showing the FE2b and the new gunner animations

I hope he's got 3 sets of underpants on!

I can fly a F 16 and I bet Jasta 11 still would shoot me down

Damn these crazy people start making me interested in this bug. 
I did fly it in ROF , but Felixstowe and other floats was a priority.

Must be very loud if he wear iron pants over his iron balls

[MiGCap]

Don't forget the Roland Walfisch, it was my favourite early-war attack plane in RoF. And the Fokker E.III with its unique "throttle" system!

Any chance to get them both moved over to FC, too?

This is your best post ever Luke!

 

Can we have the 37mm Vickers Mk III automatic cannon included in the weapons loadout? If it's okay for the Alby DII then, well ....

I've flown in one of these ( as the gunner in the bathtub,) owned by Peter Jackson in New Zealand, and afterwards done a painting of same ! It will be a hoot to fly it on my PC in my studio !?

[ST_Catchov]

Sigh .... how long must we wait ....

 

 

[jeanba]

Sacrificing a poor edgehog to get an ugly death trap is not a good idea.

You should ask for eternal life and beauty before

Yes, and that looks like Cptn. Darling in the front, twitch twitch.

Nice photo of the Curtiss "America" flying boat.  A very influential design that highly influenced the British Felixstow boats.

@LukeFF - Any word on whether we'll get a fixed forward firing gun as a field mod? It is very frustrating sometimes to not be able to shoot back (as a pilot)...

 

This is especially true in the F.E.2b (being unable to fire while watching the AI  gunner in front of you fail to actually aim at a truck or an enemy airplane).

 

The addition of a fixed forward firing gun is often associated with the up-engined F.E.2d, but there seem to be several cases where they were also mounted on the F.E.2b:

No, I think it's going to just have the same armament options as the RoF one.

 

And on that note...

Guys,

 

Check the news section.

Have a nice day.
