WOG CARD for German prototypes

**Flingueur-Phil** · 04-21-2023 00:41

Hello everyone,
I have just acquired the German and Austro-Hungarian prototypes from E-Card model (4.02€ for 6 models!)
what would they have as a WOG card?
(I mean move letter - Weapon (B/...) - Toughness - Max altitude and climb rate)

- Phönix 20-14
-Lloyd 40.05
-Lloyd 40.15
- DFW T.28 Floh

Many thanks in advance

Some diverse & interesting (if ugly) types in your list Phil. Not sure how much luck you'll have getting stats for them.

DFW T.28 Floh - was fast for it's time so falls in the average speed bracket when most contemporaries were in the slow speed bracket. Knowing nothing about it's agility you'd have to do some research or make a choice from the following decks in that bracket: V, J, X, I, D, W. V being the least manoeuvrable, W arguably being the most. Not sure enough is known about it to work out max alt, a climb rate, or damage number. Seems to have had a single MG.

Lloyd 40.15 would fall in the slow bracket so decks G, P, R, T, Y are the choices - 2 MG so, A gun.

Lloyd 40.05 would fall in the slow bracket so decks G, P, R, T, Y are the choices (probably Y as no Immel) - 2 seat, then 1 seat. 3 MG so, tandem A / B; Single AB front ?

Phönix 20-14 looks to be a forerunner of the D.I but with sesquiplane layout and smaller engine I'm seeing no stats for it to suggest where to start.

Look forward to seeing the models once built, I expect they might be a challenge.

What a great set of planes, Philippe!! I love obscure types. Be sure to post photos of you build process.

Thanks for that early precision, Dave!
I will wait for other opinions to make a decision, but we are already on the right track.

DFW T.28 Floh (1915)

speed and maneuver V - Armament B - Resistance 10 - Max altitude 9 - Climbing 5

Phönix 20.14 (1917)

speed and maneuver V - Armament B - Resistance 15 - Max altitude 12 - Climbing 6

Does this look correct to you?

Being a sesquiplane I think you need to dial back the resistance, Phil. The D.I is a 15 so maybe pitch it at 13 or 14 ? I think boost the climb rate to a 4 too as it's quite a late period fighter. The rest looks OK to me, as does the 'Flea' which seems to be contemporary with planes of that period.
