As promised, here is the thread where you will post which fighters, zeppelins, and such your nation/milita/pirate group/character uses.

Do not make additional posts: Post once and then edit as necessary: this will save time and space. As of now, I'm just posting the names of these aircraft: stats and such will come later. Feel free to do the same.

The Atlantic Republic of Nueve Italia

http://www.realestatedeveloper.com/graphics/new-york-flag.gif

Fighters:
Gervasio Air Works A2 Guerriero Mk. III (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gloster_Gladiator#Specifications_.28Gloster_Gladiator_Mk_I.29)
- Produced extensively, though now in declining use, the A2 Guerriero was the last true Bi-Plane to be used by Nueve Italia. Built with a, at the time, brand-new all-metal structure and with a closed cockpit, the A2 gave Nueve Italia a small advantage early on, but as new designs took precedent, the A2 began to lose its edge. It still has bite, and since so many were created they are frequently used as training planes, but in actual combat service, the Guerriero is losing favor. Militia and Pirates in the nation are still being reported as using it, and it is a well-built, servicable aircraft, but is invariably eclipsed by better options.

Gervasio Air Works A3 Difensore Mk.I (http://crimsonskiesuniverse.com/universe/planes/defender.htm)
- The A3 was Gervasio Air Works' first tirade into the all-metal monoplane with mediocre results. The Difensore is extremely light, can only hit 250 mph at level flight, cannot fulfill a Ground-Attack or Anti-Zeppelin role, and cannot carry any extra heavy ordanance. However, many pilots underestimate these short comings and deem the A3 to be an obsolete fighter. Atlantic Republic pilots have shown those now-deceased airmen why they were so very wrong. The A3 has an extremely tight turning radius, and its agility (due to its light-weight) is nearly unsurpassed in the skies, making a small Difensore a nightmare to get a bead on. While a pilot is trying to shoot down an A3, it is constantly running circles around its opposition until it can get into an attack position, where its pair of .50-cal. cannons and single .30-cal. machine gun shred enemy fighters apart. Those that underestimated this plane at the beginning of the Atlantic Republic's formation now learn to stay clear when a squad of these small warbirds are found in the sky. Nitalian militia frequently use the A3, and it is still in service with the regular military as an Air-Superiority fighter.

Gervasio Air Works A4 Furia Mk. II (http://crimsonskiesuniverse.com/universe/planes/fury.htm)
- Classified as a true Multi-Role aircraft, the Furia is the current mass-produced fighter of Nueve Italia. It's armament of light .30- and .40-Caliber machine guns and the large, .70-Caliber "Goliath" cannon allow it to both destroy enemy fighters with ease and also tangle with Zeppelins with relatively little problems. Certain versions are known to be stripped of the .70-Caliber Gun, increasing the speed and manueverability of the already-nimble plane, but this can be a short-sighted solution if heavy weapons are needed. Commonly seen flying with H1 Falco Heavy Fighters, the two planes compliment eachother well: a common tactic shows the A4s distracting and destroying enemy fighters whilst the H1s attack key heavy targets in the area.


Heavy Fighters:
Gervasio Air Works H1 Falco Mk. IV (http://crimsonskiesuniverse.com/universe/planes/warhawk.htm)
- The Falco is classified as a Heavy Fighter, and normally flies in support roles of the lighter, more agile A4s and A3s. Considered a main-stay aircraft of the Atlantic Republic, the H1 is used as a Zepp-Killer, pounding enemy Airships with its .60 cal heavy cannon, and it has been known to be fitted with rockets and other such weapons for the quicker destruction of Zeppelins. Not as great a dogfighter as the A2, the A3, and especially the A4, the H1 Falco is, nonetheless, a dangerous opponent: if it happens to get behind any enemy fighter, and can get a long enough lock, that plane is usually blown out of the sky rather quickly.

Franco Manufacturers S2C Corvino (http://crimsonskiesuniverse.com/universe/planes/vampire.htm)
- A new plane produced by the also new Franco Manufacturers, the S2C is more akin to an aerial bomber than a fighter. It's massive payload and sheer weight allow it both to receive and dish out serious damage, while its long-range capabilities allow it to be a Spearhead unit when lots of firepower is needed quickly. The mix of machine guns and cannon allow the Corvino to tear apart anything that crosses its gunsights, and it has been particularly succesful in becoming the Atlantic Republic's first reliable Ground-Strafer. Gun-trucks, Patrol Boats, anything is vulnerable to the Heavy Fighter. The down-side? It's propellers are extremely vulnerable, and the S2C isn't exactly the quickest thing in the sky. This Fighter-Bomber is more suited to long, straight, head-on attack runs than quick-and-nimble dogfighting, and so it relies on the A2s, A3s, and A4s to support it in most operations.


Light Bombers
Gervasio Air Works B3 Martello Mk. II (http://crimsonskiesuniverse.com/universe/planes/balmoral.htm)
- The Martello (Italian for "Hammer") is the only pure Ground-Attack plane in service with the Aviazione Repubblica. Slow, heavily armed and armored, the Martello had to meet exact design specifications, the biggest of them being that it can be stored within a Zeppelin. This was accomplished, but with such a short range and weighing so much, only a few B3s can be in any one Zeppelin. It was given the name "Hammer" because that's what its job is: to hammer a specific target over and over until it is either destroyed or submits. Flights of Martellos can be extremely damaging to ground forces, and the B3 can be equipped for Sea-Attack as well, making it perfect for strikes needed over the Great Lakes and the Atlantic Coastline. Sporting a pair of .60 cal and another pair of .70 cal machine guns as main weapons, the B3 also carries 2 .30 cal machine guns in a dual turret at the rear, and a forward turret is armed with a single .30 cal machine gun. Flying at a top speed of 150 mph, the Martello needs that extra protection to ensure it can get to its target. Up to 10 rocket hardpoints allow the B3 to carry an impressive payload for such a small aircraft, and it has served well so far in the attacking of airbases, ground defenses, and, one time, even a Zeppelin by dropping its payload on it from above.


Prototype Fighters:
Franco Manufacturers F7A Folgore (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macchi_C.202)
- The F7A is still being tested thoroughly for service, and is not yet deemed ready to enter full military service. However, protoypes of the F7A have made their way into the hands of the Atlantic Republic's Ace fighter group: the 107th Fighter Wing, also known as the "Italian Stallions". At this time, at least 8 of these deadly dogfighters have been known to be seen in Nitalian Airspace.


Zeppelins/Airships
Legion-Class Airship (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/a8/Uss_los_angeles_airship_over_Manhattan.jpg)
- The Legion-Class airships are the mainstay, destroyer-type airships of the Nitalian Air Force. 680 feet long, the Legions can hit maximum speeds of 70 mph with the use of their 6 propellers while still weighing 36 tons. Being extremely light (considering the way the Drago diCielo-Class and Garibaldi-Class are built and used), the Legion-Class can only store 2 fighters in its internal bay. Its armament is also somewhat lacking: only eight .30 cal machine guns cover the Zeppelin: four spread out on the top, and four more spread out on the bottom. To compliment this, a .70 cal "Goliath" cannon was added to the underside to give the Legion a fighting chance against other Zeppelins. The Legion is frequently seen used by Militia and Police Forces, and is a prime target for pirates who want their own Zep'.

Drago diCielo-Class Airship (http://www.spacewar.com/images/uss-macon-1935-navy-zeppelin-bg.jpg)
- The Drago diCielo (literally: Sky Dragon)- class Airships can be construed as the heavy escorts of the Nitalian Air Force. Powered by 8 large propellers (each with its own engine), the 700-foot long airship can hit speeds of 80 mph (max.), even when fully loaded at 200 tons. This weight also includes 10 fighters stored within the zeppelin that can be deployed and retrieved in mid-air by using a special skyhook-trapeze mechanism. In terms of weaponry, four .50 cal dual-turret machine guns protect the propellers (one gun for every two), while four .20 cal and .30 cal guns each dot the ship to provide covering fire for fighters in the area. On the underside of the Zeppelin, 2 spread out .70 cal "Goliath" cannons (the same attached on the underside of the A4, but smaller) provide means for ground attack and also another way to down enemy airships.

Garibaldi-Class Airship (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/59/Zrs-4.jpg)
- Where the Drago diCielo can be considered a powerhouse, the Garibaldi-Class is a monster: over 785 feet in length, carrying eight 560 hp gasoline-powered engines (internally mounted), able to hit 55 mph at cruising speeds (80 mph maximum), and carrying 20 aircraft internally, the Garibaldi is considered an Aerial Battleship. Its armaments include 9 dual-turret .50 cal machine guns dotted along the spine (1 at the bow directly on the spine of the ship, and the rest paired across from one another on opposite sides of the spine), 2 .30 cal turrets and 4. 20 cal turrets to protect the engines, an additional 4 more .20 cal turrets on the underside, and 3 .70 cal "Goliath" cannons on the underside to provide ground fire and anti-Zep' fire. The Garibaldi-Class Airship, though not as fast as some, is certaintly the largest and the most powerful of the Atlantic Republic's Air Fleet.

Bombers/Dive Bombers


Zeppelins

Blackwolf Enterprises RZ-1 Servitude-Class Scout Zeppelin
Developed for scouting and recon missions, the Servitude has onboard telescopes and a fast engine allowing it to move around and spot targets easily. It is unarmed, however, and open to almost any sort of weapon.

Blackwolf Enterprises CZ-2 Harpy-Class Light Combat Zeppelin
The Harpy is armed with 5 heavy machine guns and 3 light cannons. It is produced in mass and used as an assault ship, covering land operations and patrolling the outer most part of the Loneque borders.

Blackwolf Enterprises CZ-3 Thunderbird-Class Medium Combat Zeppelin
Armed with 6 cannons, nearly twice as many machine guns, and carrying a three-fighter squadron, the Thunderbird is a very capable craft. It is often deployed along with two or three Harpies, and working on recon from a Servitude.

Blackwolf Enterprises CZ-4 Black Rose-Class Heavy Combat Zeppelin
There are few Black Roses in existance, due to their expense and the time needed to create one. They have 12 cannons, 20-something machine guns, and carry 9 fighters at max. They are named after the capital of Loneque, and defend it well.

Blackwolf Enterprises WZ-5 Napoleon-Class Aerial Battleship
18 cannons, 28 machine guns, anti-air armament and multiple bomb bays make the Napoleon something to be afraid of. Fortunately for foreign nations there are only two in existance. One patrols Alaska and the other guards the Loneque capital.

Blackwolf Enterprises AZ-6 Quebec-Class Aircraft Carrier Zeppelin
Carrying a complement of 18 fighters organized into three fighter squadrons, the Quebec-class is a sign of things to come as Zeppelin technology advances. It is additionally armed with plenty of anti-air guns to ward off fighters.

The Excesivly Armed Republic of Animarnia

Aircraft

AaE F-29 SkyFury Air Superiority fighter - When the Independent States were all scrambling to create multi role fighters that could do a dozen jobs in one airframe the engineers at Animarnia Aerospace Engineering were doing the opposite designing and constructing an aircraft designed to do one thing - to fight. Using rounded wings has given the SkyFury very tight turning circles with a high amount of agility over its contemporary multi role fighters. The Sky Fury excels at shooting down enemy aircraft with a maximum speed of 375mph and a combat range of nearly 470miles the Sky Fury can unleash its deadly hail of duel 20mm and duel 7.75mm guns at any intruder into Republic airspace. Being able to hold up to 120 rounds of 20mm and 360 rounds of 7.75mm ammunition. Its wings are also capable of carrying up to 8 rockets on four hard points.

TA F/A-25 Mk III Firefox Heavy Fighter - The Thrace Aeronautics Firefox is a heavy fighter keeping more in line with its contemporaries as a multi-role craft. Designed to be able to fight larger targets such as bombers or Airships or ground positions with a heavier payload but at the same time be able to toe it up against enemy fighters. Firefox's usually work in conjunction with Skyfurys as escorts letting the Fury's go for the Fighters while the Firefoxs take out the larger bombers or Airships. Armed with two .30 calibre's two 40 calibre's and a mighty .70 calibre cannon along the central line its guns along make it a deadly threat. However its airframe can also support up to 12 rocket and two anti airship Torpedoes/Bombs along the central fuselage. The Firefox has a max speed of 256mph and a combat range of 400 miles

AaE B-1 Behemoth Medium Bomber - The B-1 unlike the Firefox was designed for one purpose; to carry a heavy payload; it was not designed to fight more to annihilate anything in its path carrying a large payload of Anti-Airship torpedoes or Ground Pounding iron Bombs. Armed with two forward facing 60 Cals, Two forward facing 70 Cals, Two rear turrets mounted duel 30 Cals', one forward nose mounted turret with duel 30 cal, one Internal Bomb bay and 10 External Hard points. With a range of 500 miles


Airships
Type 04 Royal Class Airship Super Carrier - this mammoth airship is able to hold up to 60 Fighter size Aircraft and ample ammunition and fuel supplies for up to 6 months of combat operations at a time without having to return to port for refuelling. However being large means they are also slow and require a great degree of protection in the form of smaller more agile defence airships. Carriers often operate in a Carrier Strike Group. Defences include 20 70 calibre machine gun turrets and 10 smaller 30 calibre machinegun turrets

Type 21 Crimson Class Guided Missile Airship Destroyer - Armed with a various array of Deadly Rockets on turreted bases the guided missile Airship can serve as a strike or defensive craft protecting the battle group; striking at enemy aircraft or ground installations. Though favouring Rockets the Crimsons Class also operates Ten .50 Calibre Duel gun turrets. This Crimson class can also deploy 8 Aircraft.

Type 42 Hellions Class Airship Air Defence Frigate - What amounts to essentially lots of guns on a mobile Airship style design. The Hellions Class bristles with .30 calibre turrets, .50 Calibre Turrets and .70 Calibre Turrets. The Hellions Class is designed specifically to shoot down and destroy enemy aircraft and it can also deploy up to Eight Anti-Airship Torpedoes and 2 Aircraft.

Type 35 Lightning Saix Class Fast Attack Airship - This quick strike; general purpose Airship is a jack of all trades armed with a moderate amount of Turreted guns; rockets and Anti-Airship torpedoes as well as Iron Bombs. But to so much as to limit its speed; the Type 35 is the fastest of all Airship models.


Typical Battle group:

1 Type 04 Royal Class
4 Type 21 Crimson Class
6 Type 42 Hellions Class
12 Type 35 Lightning Saix Class
84 Skyfurys
20 Firefoxs

Savia S-2000 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fokker_D.XXI)

The S-2000 is a radial-engined dogfighter. Though quite slow(max speed of 280mph) and underarmed(4 .30cal), it is a very maneuverable aircraft and a skilled pilot can beat more advanced aircraft in turning fights. The S-2000 is the mainstay of the RRI militia air corps. Trials and tests are being done to find a replacement, but these efforts are underfunded.

Fighters

WP-21 Sparrow
Armament: Four Wing-Mounted .55cal MGs, Two Nose-Mounted 30mm HE Cannons, Under-Wing Rail Mounts for Four 6-inch Rockets.
Engines: Single, Four Bladed Propellor Engine.
Max Speed: 283mph.

The WP-21 Sparrow was a design created by the Supreme Officers of the Wyoming Confederation to act as a military patrol fighter, and as such has been equipped with weapons sufficient for the quick elimenation of opposing aircraft. Armed with four .50cal Browning MGs for tackling opposing fighter aircraft, and twin 25mm cannons for taking on Bombers, the Sparrow is used primarily as a military fighter, although some police squadrons have been equipped with the design. It is plated with thin, laminated steel armour.

XWP-31 Reaper
Armament: Six .70cal MGs in wings, Three 30mm Cannons, 1 Underslung 'Scattershot' Cannon, Wing Rail Mounts for Six 6-inch HE Rockets
Engines: Single, Five-Bladed Propellor Engine
Max Speed: 302mph

The XWP-31 Reaper is an experimental design, built to be the fastest, most heavily armed aircraft operated in the Wyoming Confederation. It's 5-bladed, high-power prop engine gives it incredible speed, and it's fearsome armament of six .70cal MGs, three 30mm Cannons & a new, experimental weapon, the 'Scattershot' Cannon (essentially, a giant air-to-air shotgun) are more than a match for anything the Confederate Air Force has encountered thus far. It is plated with a thin steel laminate armour, slightly thicker than that of the WP-26 Sparrow. Currently, only one is in existance, due to the horrific cost of production, and is in use by Commander Aramius Hawk of the Confederate Air Force.

Bombers

WB-17 Eagle
Armament: Six 35mm HE Cannons in the nose, two dual .50cal turrets on sides, one 30mm Cannon turret in the tail
Engines: Twin, Four-Bladed Propellor Engines
Max Speed: 232mph

The WB-17 Eagle is the most powerful aircraft operated in the Wyoming Confederation, short of a Zeppelin. It is designed to be, quite simply, a Zep-Killer, and it's forward armament of six 35mm HE Cannons are able to tear Zeppelins to shreds. It is also plated with moderate thickness steel laminate armour, for protection during attack runs. Unfortunately, the downside of this is that it is one of the slowest aircraft operated in the Wyoming Confederation.

WB-14 Condor
Armament: Two 40mm HE Cannons underslung on wings, two .50cal MGs in nose, dual .50cal turret facing the rear.
Engines: Single, Four-Bladed Propellor Engine
Max Speed: 258mph

The WB-14 Condor is the premier ground attack aircraft of the Wyoming Confederation. Armed with two massive 40mm Cannons for tackling 'hard' targets, and a pair of .50cal MGs in the nose and a pair in the rear of the cockpit for swatting away fighters, the WB-14 Condor is the preferred method of dealing with Zeppelins & ground difficulties. It is plated with a thin steel laminate armour.

Zeppelins

Demolisher-Class Heavy Carrier Zeppelin

Armament: Twelve quad-.70cal MG turrets, four each on dorsal & ventral mainlines, two each on port & starboard mainlines, Ten 63mm twin-barrel Flak Turrets, Five each on port & starboard mainlines, Six Twin-barrel Anti-Airship Rocket Turrets, three each on dorsal & ventral mainlines, Two 'Scattershot' Cannon Turrets, one on Dorsal & one on Ventral Mainlines.
Engines: Twelve High Power Five-Bladed Propellor Engines
Max Speed: 52mph
Armour Plating: Thin Steel Laminate

Dakotan Aircraft*

Autogyros and Other VTOL Aircraft

Avro Centurion-Class Autogyro (http://crimsonskiesuniverse.com/universe/planes/hoplite.htm)
- The Centurion-Class Autogyro is a British-designed defense autogyro. Commonly stationed on airships, these autogyros are used to defend precious Dakotan cargo from pirates.

Fighters

Vickers V-34 I
(http://crimsonskiesuniverse.com/universe/planes/devastator.htm)
- The Vickers V-34, known by its pilots as the Vicky, is the standard fighter of the DAC. Although rather slow when compared to other contemporary planes, its maneuverability and easy maintenance make it a favorite among Dakotan pilots.

Heavy Fighters/Bombers

Armstrong-Whitworth Lark (http://crimsonskiesuniverse.com/universe/planes/coyote.htm)
- The A.W. Lark is an experimental flying wing designed. Though not yet fully introduced into the DAC, results from training sessions have shown the Lark to be full of promise. Thanks to these results, plans to fully incorporate them into the air corps are well underway.


Airships

Blackwolf Enterprises CZ-2 Harpy-Class Light Combat Zeppelin
- The Harpy is armed with 5 heavy machine guns and 3 light cannons. It is produced in mass and used as an assault ship, covering land operations and patrolling shipping lanes. In addition to its regular armament, the Harpy-Class Zeppelins commissioned by the Dakotan government are fitted with Schwade flamethrowers.

Blackwolf Enterprises CZ-3 Thunderbird-Class Medium Combat Zeppelin
- Armed with 6 cannons, nearly twice as many machine guns, and carrying a three-fighter squadron, the Thunderbird is a very capable craft. It is often deployed along with two or three Harpies, and working on reconnaissance provided by a spotter using a Cody Kite.

Due to a lack of factories, the majority of the aircraft used by the Confederacy are created elsewhere.
