Would planes every be possible?

I'm sure planes would be impossible in N:TW TWG, but checking.. that would be AWESOME!

Not really, at least not practical airplanes. They might be included, through the replacement of spies

Well theoretically you could have them replace ships...but without mod tools I doubt thats possible.

i don't think thats possible since ship move in a 2D environment while planes fly in a 3D environment

even with mod tools that would be impossible.

though we are planning on changing the rake agent into planes. (and giving them the duel ability)

I love WW1 aviation history, but not having aircraft for a mod like this is hardly a deal breaker. The largest impact of aircraft was aerial reconnaissance, and if it hadn't been for that, the war might have ended much more quickly, with a quick German victory over France and the UK expeditionary force in 1914.

You could probably make flying/hovering units like that guy who made that Tanks and Nazgul video for RTW.

They don't have the tools to do that. Rome and Medieval did, Empire and Napoleon don't...

It wouldn't look good without a holding pattern anyway.

I don't think it would work, but it would be awesome! Maybe you could change the observation balloons? Even thought they wouldn't fight, it still would be reconnaissance. Any chance that is doable? And then somehow making that into a unit to be recruited? I don't think it is possible though.

you would have an immobile, useless plane that turn upon itself, amusing but thats all.
