The infamous Fokker DR 1, makes a great plane for dogfights with my new Sopwith Camel, go check it out. Also makes a great carrier landing plane. Canopy view is set to a camera, just like the Sopwith.
Update: there is a mobile friendly version without the guns posted under successors.

didn’t some french dude make a thingy that allowed the bullet to ricochete of the prop but still go towards the target@rocketplane123331
@k1noman Well, some planes could have a fault and mess up.
@rocketplane123331 Not true for many WW1 planes. The Fokker especially. The guns were on a timing mechanism linked to the prop, letting them fire in sync with its rotation, letting the guns fire through the prop safely. Please, read up on your statements before making them.
Thanks for the 1.2 version man!
The reason in WWII the guns are on the wings are beacause the pilots are more dangerous to themselves because the bullet will bounce of the prop and hit them or it will hit the prop and break it
the dogfight is epic!!!!! best plane pair i have ever seen.
@NSStancik Ohhh thanks!
Now this one is much better
@TheOwlAce they just have to be close enough to the prop.
How did you get the guns to fire through the prop?
nice!
