Hansa Brandenburg KDW
« on: April 27, 2021, 11:09:20 AM »

Based on an existing MOD in the simulator - Hansa Brandenburg DI - which should make the creator's job much easier, it would be nice to see the sea version of the ground fighter that was the Hansa Brandenburg KDW, used by both Germans in the fight for the English Channel and North Sea, and the Austro-Hungarian Empire in the Adriatic. Unlike the DI model, the KDW was manufactured in several production batches, with two different engines - Benz Bz.III 150 Hp and Maybach Mb.III (no Associated Information) - in addition, in the first production batches, they only had a 7.92 mm, machine gun Spandau synchronized to the starboard of the cockpit and the last batches were produced with the traditional armament of two Spandaus also synchronized. Another significant difference concerned only the wingspan of the KDW version - 9.25 meters (30 ft 4 in) against 8.5 meters (27 ft 11in) for the D.I - the total length being also greater due to the extension of the floats.
Crew: 1
Length: 8 m (26 ft 3 in)
Wingspan: 9.25 m (30 ft 4 in)
Height: 3.35 m (11 ft 0 in)
Gross weight: 1,040 kg (2,293 lb)
Powerplant: 1 × Benz Bz.III 6-cyl. water-cooled inline piston engine, 112 kW (150 hp)

I didn't realise they made a float version of the Brandenburg. Interesting design!

That's a new one to me. If one appears, I'll make a single mission for it.

I wonder if it's possible for someont to import it. I don't have those skills. I guess it'd be easier to add skis to the eisting one.

cheers
