Imperial Early Plane II O'Riley Dé-I "Baron"
The O'Riley D-I Baron was the second Imperial plane ever built. It was created during the second half WWI. It was rarely used against the British and used against the Germans A LOT. It was used for offensive, as it was not easy enlugh to control as defensive. The first pilot of the plane was O'Riley's son, Séan. He was a professional at piloting as he was a pilot for the Irish at the time, who were fighting England more than Germany. He used an IAC Sopwith Camel that was really good to fight the British mentally. The British would think it's their own plane, but they would need a closer look because the only 2 insignas are on the bottom of the right primary wing and the area behind the prop. But when they see the insigna, it's too late, as the pilot and gunner are locked on the plane's engines, wings, pilot/gunner, fin, and fuesilage with their machine guns. The Irish had the advantage because it almost seemed like the insignas were covering the enitre British planes. Anyway, to the story of this plane. It only needs 1 pilot and the gun is behind the prop but can shoot through the prop, as long as the prop is spinning. Sort of like the Bf-109(s), which didnt come out until 20-30 years later, only for Imperial planes to send 'em to hell. The plane also has teal-coloured, square-shaped insignas to confuse all enemies. The black, 2-headed eagle and orange and/or blue colours surounding it would be too obvious. This plane is what sends the English Sopwiths and German Fokkers to hell.

@aerodummy check out the newer ones. This is a unibiplane. The new ones are biplanes. The IV is the easiest to fly if you are experienced.
Wow! You weren't kidding about it being hard to fly!
@XVIindustries I quoted that because Ireland was fighting England for freedom during WWI. At the time, England had Ireland completely liberated.
Get lost, you are already free you idiots @IA1000
