The Gotha G.I was a heavy bomber used by Germany during WWI. It was first flown in 1915. The purpose of this particular design ( the 2 engines under the main body ) was to reduce the drag and increase the speed. The main problem of this aircraft was its poor maneuvrability, it was an easy target for any enemy fighter. I hope you will enjoy it and tell me if you want to see more WWI aircraft :)

    Never press Group 1. I decided to press it because I was curious. But the plane separated in two pieces and smashed itself into the ground.

    And the fact that the bottom wings broke off during taking off and landing.

    I was having a blast in the air, then I said "What does detacher 1 do?" I should not have clicked that.... Awesome airplane, man. I wonder what the world would be like if jets existed in WW I. I suspect it would look this this :-)
