On April 19, 1915 French flyer Roland Garros was forced to land his Morane-Saulnier N behind German lines, and the Germans learned the secret of his success.... special metal deflectors on the propeller, allowing him to shoot a machinegun from over his cowling and through the prop.  This revolution opened the way for Antony Fokker to introduce his sychronization gear on his Fokker Eindecker machine, and the "Fokker Scare" began.  For a brief moment, German pilots like Immelmann and Boelcke roamed freely over the trenches, leaving the broken skeletons of Allied planes on the ground below.

L.F.G. Roland C-II "Walfisch" two-seat recon and bomber* (available Oct. 1915)

*The Roland Walfisch was actually used as a recon and two-seat fighter.  However, since we still do not have a proper early German two-seater, this version serves as a substitute.  The version of the C-II below serves as the fighter example, with the rear gunner designed to fire forward at a lower hit factor to simulate the plane's ability to deliver forward firepower.  For now, we offer the BE2c repainted and with new damage profile as an AEG recon plane.
