Koper B.IIB

75 Thesuperbloxyux  4 days ago

Basically this is a R.E.8 but with a fokker D.VII engine (but its turbo) with its incredible 268HP.
I was planning to do a common fighter based on fokker DR.I but i prefered to make a ww1 plane that makes you sense that you are really piloting something at low speed and that makes you face the most dangers of ww1 era planes like : VERY STRONG STOLS , difficult at gaining altitude & etc

Lore:In June 1916 a contract was send to various of the most influent plane manufactures to make a good reconnaissance and maybe fighter plane to fight in the great war , just some of them accepted and one of them was Koper , a new manufacturer in the 1900s that was testing new technologies.
The plane was a good reconnaissance aircraft and it was better to destroy ground targets than aircrafts .

This plane entered in service between setember 1916 - april 1917 and after this koper focused in making more civil planes

the plane haved three variants : Koper B.IIA , Koper B.IIB and Koper B.IIC
