The po-2.

Nothing else.

[Knave]

I propose that we scrap the NS Class airship from that list, and replace it with the German P-class, or better yet, the Q-version. Not only was it build earlier, allowing us to get the design rather than the import, it's also a proper airship, rather than a blimp.

I am 100% behind airships

Guys, we don't have any fighter aircraft on Asea's list, as far as I can tell. That's going to be a serious disadvantage when we go to war.

[Hiddenleafguy]

In this time period bombers ruled the sky, although we may need some fighters, with bombers being not much slower then a fighter, we probably don't need any fighters yet.

[Ukrainian Ranger]

Your first enemy will have exactly the same designs as you.  Next one will force you to build new designs anyway.


And yes PO-2 is in. 14 points more to spend.

[Taricus]

Throw my vote in for the zeppelin Q class

[evilcherry]

Vote for Becker Type M2 20 mm cannon first.

You forgot the Zepellin Q Class. It's got me, Taricus and Knave.

The FF.33 has a fighter variant...

[Baffler]

So we have so far...

PO-2 (general purpose, cheap and simple)
Zepellin Q Class (patrol and bombing)
Becker Type M2 20mm Cannon (ground based AA)

It looks like we really need a more specialized air to air fighter that we can produce domestically. The Fokker D.VIII fills the role excellently with a cost of 4 points.

The Albatros C.III should also do us good. It's reasonably quick for the period, and strategic bombing is something we want to get a start on as soon as we can. It costs 2 points. Maybe something newer would be better, but this thing stayed in service for so long for a reason.

Old isn't necessarily bad as our enemy will be rolling with the same designs as us. Though if we're unlucky they'll have way more than us.

 You know, given military thinking of the day (mostly that nothing can stop bombers, and that interceptors are thus jsut for making civvies feel better), it would sort of make scene that we dont have much in the way of fighter aircraft...

[Ukrainian Ranger]

Assuming that my world will have same doctrines as real world is a wishful thinking. Besides, who said that you have the most modern airforce in the world?

Players, I ask to mention if your vote for something is second or third.
You still have 11 points to spend and I prefer to start sooner than later.
