“The Winged Fusilier!”/“The Butcher Bird!”/“One of a Kind Steel Fighter-Bomber!”
The Königliche Sopwith Fliegerkorps developed a divergent combat philosophy from their mainland counterparts, believing that dogfighting and the “ace pilot” mentality was useless continental grandstanding that had no place in modern war. The result was the Markgraf Attentäter C, a flying machine with 6 machine guns that's intended to joust with the enemy with speed and firepower, and was exceedingly good at it. It's never good at turning, but it's not like a KSF pilot need it either.
The von Morgen Vampyr was Fokker’s secret weapon in the coming war against the Gotha Empire, stockpiled for the coming conflict, but due to the paranoia of the royal family, only a handful were deployed eventhough there could have been hundreds of even thousands in a warehouses somewhere. But, any pilot that gets their hands on one of these things will become the butcher bird. Its speed, maneuverability, power, toughness, all these combined in a single plane makes it a very deadly machine.
The third of the commonly seen Bennhold designs, this fighter saw some limited success in militias and smaller nations, but is undergoing something of a postwar renaissance. Though perhaps less than a hundred were made before the war, their blueprints are widely available, so anyone with aluminium production can make one, and they should. Vastly improved over Bennhold's first design, the Hugo’s Einzigartiger Stahl-Jagdbomber is both faster and more purpose-built, designed as a fighter-bomber that can perfectly serve as its own escort.
