My favorite plane irl is the N11 bébé. Most don't know it's actually not a biplane. It's called a sesquiplane, which means a wing and a half. The lower wing was designed to be more of a support than a full fledged wing. It's Nick name was due to its incredible small size and was originally designed as a racer.

I've also built a 24 inch flying scale replica - hand scaled. Was pretty nuttier about them ten years ago or so.

That said, I tend to fly more central powered planes here too ....

I was "shamed" awhile back into playing randomly and I kept track one weekend and was put in in allied 75% of the time. I prefer the Siemens over the allied Sopwith, I think Siemens performs better but does it???. But I want to be a fair player (no jets!) and still get very frustrated with the impossible job of fighting planes a lot faster than my biplanes. I miss flying lower level planes, but they are not survivable against ww2

So why are those that flew wwii and have jets suddenly not fair, not just you but others are directi g your feelings the wrong way sports, that was zups brain fart idea, so now we should just not use them? Makes no sense. I agree it waw Stupid To mix wwi w wwii, tell zup dont call players that played elite w wwii unfair

I believe it’s because in most cases it will be an easy win, since most players use the Central Power side and most games are over stack to that side. (5 to 1, 5 vs 2 or 5 vs 3.) Then the allied side mostly spins nonpaying customers or random players and if u look they are mainly low rank players. But players that only have the ww1 planes will manly go to the German side because the top German plane is faster than the top allied ww1 plane and that is a fact. The ww2 planes top ones are the same any side you choose. I always thought that zuperman should implement a way of maintaining the sides equal; because yes, it’s not fun at all to be on the allied side losing repeatedly. I see that if you go Central u will win most of the time cashing good every win and completely overpowering the uneven allied side. The ww1 and ww2 mix does add to the abusive miss match but it is what it is. I will always try to switch to help when I can, but again its easy peasy lemon squezzy to stay on the central side for the cash pay up and with the game crashing all the time makes it harder to twitch sides like I use to; but does not mean I could go LOCA and challenge my Wonder Woman side and become a ninja!!!

the sides are equal. It's exactly the same code for allied and german and exactly the same specs. Even if it's not realistic, jet planes are as fast as the same level plane on the allied. And that rule applies to every single airplane on both sides. Same specs, always. If you don't believe it just get a timer and cross the map with a watch on hand. Get the same level airplane on the other side. Have fun :P

yeah the tank issue is true. I was thinking something along those lines, randomly flip the base on different games.
