There are some things that I would like to know of WWI planes.
1.Parachutes was used during the war?
2.When the first plane carrier was used?
3.I saw a giant bomb,the largest one used at the war.What plane had power enough to carry a big babe like that and where was used?
4.The Zeppelin R VI and a plane called Friedrichshaffen GIII was used on the war or was like more the WWII Go229 that was being builded,but was never used?And that Ilya Mourumetz V?
And a bit offtopic,there was field radios during WWI?

A few answers right now:
1. Parachutes were seldom used, for they took away valuable weight and were partly considered unsporting. Only balloon crews were regularly equipped with them, sometimes zeppelin crews too.
2. The first sea plane carriers were used during the war, Germans and British had them. The first prototype of an aircraft carrier was HMS Furious, a modified battlecruiser, and it first conducted an air raid against a German zeppelin base in Tondern in 1917, if I am not mistaken.
3. This bomb was carried by a zeppelin, I think. A further candidate could be the Zeppelin Staaken giant bomber.
4. The Zeppelin R VI was the biggest bomber to see service in WWI and was used by the Germans to carry out bombing raids against England when zeppelins became too vulnerable. We have an article about it in our database. The Friedrichshafen G III was another heavy bomber, but miostly used as a tactical bomber against targets in France.
The Ilya Murometz was one of the most valuable assets of the Russian air force in WWI and served as an example for the development of heavy bombers by other nations, most prominently Germany and later England, too. It's design was revolutionary, and it first flew in 1914 and was intended as a passenger plane. It's constructor, Igor Sikorsky, later went to the USA and founded one of the most important manufacturers of helicopters.

I rather think it's a British bomb - maybe a 748 kg bomb that was usually carried by Handley-Page 0/400's.
Gotta look into some aviation book when i come home to get certainty.

As to field radios they did exist but wireless communication was rather new and unreliable at the time. The standard WWI radio operator had to lay a wire that linked him back to the H.Q. in the trenches. As result he had to carry a heavy roll of wire when going over the top and the exposed wire was vulnerable to any physical attack.

German Zeppelins used wireless radio communication
For locating by direction finding and for the communication among themselves with squadron attacks german zeppelins used a Telefunken wireless radio communication station. This plant had an energy of 800 W, and a range up to 1.500 km. The antenna consisted of three independent wires with a length of 120 m, which were weighted at their ends by streamlined weights. The whole radio communication system inclusive generators, lines and accessories weighed 485 kg.

I don´t have idea of how the war radios work.
At least in BF1942,BFVietnam and BF2 looks like you carry a walk-talk.
But they had that during WWII or till WWI?
These are the "radios" I mean

Well considering the fact that up until the 1940s when transistors were deveoloped, equipment had to be very bulky like the zeppelen wireless radio from that earlier post. Ships that carried wireless marconi had tons of bulky aparatuses (sp) and would not be very managable in the field. So during the first world war radios and communications used wires. At vimy, the canadians laid miles of communication wires. They would have men sit out in fron in small shelters and call back giving positions, or men in balloons with a very long cord leading back to ground so they can call and report movements. But thanks to transistors, the vaccum tube was displaced and radio equipment was considerably smaller and more portable.

The French Army also built a Radio Tank to provide contact between units and their headquarters, namely the FT-17 TSF.

As I’ve already mentioned once a limited use of wireless portable radios was made by the Allies, in the later half of the war.

It was actually very useful, because tanks were often unable to communicate with their HQs, and had to send birds or to use flags, which was rather silly...
