I've noticed that the tanks and aircraft carriers are more WW2 than WW1. If Dogfight could change the design of these things then it would make the game much better!
Any other ideas from other people?

yeah i noticed that in teh screen shots. i have yet to play the game online...still practicing with the tilt to fly method...i am not finding it very easy. but ww1 tanks like this would be cool.



they really didnt have air craft carriers in ww1 but early versions of the ww2 would work..

You gvuys want ww1 tanks?? Do you really??
Is take you hours to get across map 3 shot kill slow big. All reasons zuperman had the tanks how they are.

I've heard a lot of banter on here about carriers and WWI. I'm a former Navy man myself and appreciate historical accuracy, but the elements of the game, IMO, are as they should be for the sake of gameplay.

The first carriers built from the keel to be a carrier were British. I think the first wasn't commissioned until around 1917. The US didn't have real carriers until the earlier 20s. Ranger Class, I believe.

Before those there were seaplane carriers, but these were basically floating cranes that dropped and recovered seaplanes with a boom. They didn't actually "launch" planes. Planes were also launched from the decks of battleships, using the predecessor to today's catapults. This was basically a sling shot and those planes had to be where they could land on land, because there was no way to recover them.

So yes there were WWI aircraft carriers, but not what you would call a carrier today. As for the game, great job echoboom!

And as for accuracy, I've never know a carrier to be in a landlocked lake, but its still fun.

I leave the tank subject to a US Army expert!

to be honest i didnt think about the aspect of playing as a tank. i probably never will so leave them as they are or give the old tanks better handling or speed. neither the tanks or the carriers are game breakers for me. in the console version i would like it to be a little more actual to history if possible.

BOBBYSOX,
Welcome to DF & Forum, now, jump in the pool. Flying in multi-player is a lot more fun! You'll find the tanks take on a whole new dimension. Not to mention the new stratigies you'll enjoy. I believe the flight characteristics may be easier....yea...they are. Feel your confidence level go up? See you up there.

They did have experimental carriers in WWI.Some were just a ramp over a battleships gun.The plane sometimes stalled and fell into water.As for the tanks I want them to look WWI and act like the tank we have now.

I think they did have a carrier in ww1.i think it was Great Britain that had some.and maybe Japan.
