One-sided development of the multi-seaters in Flying Circus

Watch the video and hopefully you will understand what is meant.

You honestly expect us to watch a more than 1 hour video with only very occasional written text and spoken text in German, and then "understand what is meant"?

This is how I feel when I have to understand everything in English! ?

Interesting video!

 

Some thoughts:

 

1) The H.P O/400 was 16 km/h faster than the Gotha G.V in real life. If one wanted a faster German bomber, the AEG G.IV would be the way to go (~165 km/h)! It would also be easier to fly.

 

2) A lot of the issues for the two-seaters are related to powerplant limitations that Germany faced later in the war. One could had the Rumpler C.IV (altitude), or the Hannover Cl.II (sustained turn) to try to give Germany a bit less of a disadvantage, but the gains would be limited.

 

3) If one really wants to see German two-seaters with an advantage over Entente ones - then going earlier in the war would be a good idea (e.g. Albatros C.I, LVG C.I or eeven  Rumpler C.I, Albatros C.V vs. B.E.2c, Caudron G.IV, Morane-Saulnier L)... in those periods the German designs were faster and often more manoeuvrable!

 

4) The country that really needs improvement is France (with only one two-seater - compared to more than five multi-seat aircraft for England and Germany). So I think the best way to fix the sitaution would be adding a Caudron G.IV or Morane-Saulner L (or maybe a B.E.2c - although that is another two-seater for the British).

Nobody forces you to understand any English. There's the German forum where you can speak all the German you want.

 

Usually when people post something in the complaints section, they do so because they hope the Devs will read their complaints and adjust the game accordingly. I really doubt they have one hour to spend on watching videos, so if you want anything to come out of this I advise you to put down in writing whatever it is that you're complaining about.

I created the video in my language and added English subtitles. I've been working with Google and others, doing back translations so I can see if it makes sense. That took a lot of time.

I'm sure you put a lot of work into it, but the thing is that the developers aren't going to sit through an hour-plus long video, even more so because you haven't really stated what the point of the video is before anyone presses the Play button. ?

 

With reports line this, you gotta be consice in what your complaint is.

I just glanced at this thread to see what the issue was. I still don't know.

 

I think the very least anyone could expect is to know what they are looking for before they decide whether to watch a video or not. I chose not to... See ya!

It's about the one-sided development of multi-seaters in favor of the Entente. They've had the most modern multi-seaters since FC started... for years! As a German pilot, even for years in the lame rattletrap. And now I should maybe buy even 'worse' ones?
Why this pointless reverse gear in history? This is counterproductive! World War I lasted 4 years, how long has FC existed?
A development in the direction of the timeline would have meant that everyone would have felt the urge to buy something new and better.

For sure all WW1 genre fans would buy any new planes, doesn't matter if they prefer fighters. Two seater planes for early war period  is what community were asking for decade now.
