If we ever get ships in FC2 this would be a nice one:

You want the plane that helped kill the Bismarck in 1941 in a WWI sim?

And crippled the Italian fleet at Taranto ?

[jollyjack]

OK, move her on to WW2 then, at least she'll see some use there & then ...

I think you will find that this is a sesquiplane with extremely pronounced positive wing stagger and no interplanar struts. Can we have it in Flying Circus?

 

And if we do, which side gets it?

Depends,  how big is its spar?

 

[Feathered_IV]

Need some authentic ships for it to hunt too

And for the allied recon.

Not necessarily. The Fairey Flathead was an early monoplane designed by Sir Richard Fairey as a torpedo bomber. However, the power plant was found wanting for anything other than tiny little torpedoes. Not surprisingly, these proved ineffective, and the War Office scrapped the project in 1915.

And that is the example of a WW1 monoplane you went for instead of the Eindecker or the Razor or the M.1C or the Morane L/N/AI series? ? 

 

Neat plane though, maybe we should investigate an early 1915 module when men were men, revolvers were revolvers and interrupters were someone you wouldn't invite back to your next dinner party.

Entente, the DVIIF’s will still make short work of the above!

MONOPLANES!?!

They actually did sink a ship with a torpedo in WW1..  albeit launched while taxiing on the water in the mederterianian sea.

 

The germans also had their torpedo bombers... Like the Gotha WD11 and WD14 or Friedrichshafen FF41.

On the german side, the first ship successfully sunk by aerial torpedo was the Kankakee, 14. june 1917

They even tried "glide" torpedos from airships (experimentally, only)

 

 

Also, lets not forget that the fishing vessels on the channel map in RoF where actually super neat and should be brought back!!

(even if it is just to land on them)

[AndyJWest]

How about this encounter:

 

As epic air/sea battles go, it was rather inconclusive, but interesting all the same, and unlikely to be repeated...

 

[Enceladus828]

Following the defeat of SMS Emden, HMAS Sydney (I) became the first Australian ship to be successful in battle in WW1 and the Australian people had a special feeling for her because of her service in WW1. This feeling was then transferred to HMAS Sydney (II), a modified-Leander class light cruiser which was the Pride and Darling of the RAN in WW2.

 

I'm doing a series about HMAS Sydney (II) on the Cliffs of Dover section of the forum to commemorate the 80th anniversary of her final battle and sinking this November and the first part is currently available.

Ah, I just remembered also the debates from ROF: WHAT ABOUT THORNYCROFT LIGHTERS?

Those would off course be the coolest thing ;=P

I have a feeling that since the kids running blitz and tobruk cant do anything in mainland europe AFTER battle of britain,,,, that they only have a choice of going back to ww1

[BladeMeister]

I can't see that. TFS could spend many years expanding NA Theater alone and if nothing else, do operation Torch or Malta and the Med with carriers. They could also do a proper Battle of France and the Dunkirk withdrawal as I don't see TGBS going back to the BOB or before it.  IMHO, TFS has plenty of options if they so choose to carry on developing CLOD.

Bismarck died of gangrene in 1898. The amount of time travel in this thread confuses me.

That's proof that lowest bidding contractor in tender with badly defined criteria is hoing to deliver solution, but it will be useless. This plane is doing exactly what customer ordered...

UNLESS Bismarck gangrene was caused by time travellers. From post-nuclear future. They wanted to get his superior diplomatic skills out of the way so he could not prevent WW1, thus ensuring that world wars happened earlier than in their timeline, before participants get nuclear capability, and create a timeline where nuclear weapons are deterrent that ended last world war, rather than have WW1 start with nuclear exchanges. But what have biplanes to do with that?

If ever the WW1 ships get ported to FC, we need to hope those responsible are feeling sufficiently extravagant to upgrade them with flags:
