The current planes in WWI are outstanding. This is the best damage model I have seen to date.
I hope more planes are added down the road.

The next four planes for the WWI arena should include the following:
Halberstadt CL2, Albatros DVa, SE5a, and the Spad XIII. I believe these planes
would all be viable with the current line up. On any given night you typically see all of the current planes
being used. These four would offer a bigger variety of fighting styles. The SE5a and Spad XIII are excellent
BnZ planes.

If any of you think another set would better compliment the current planes.......please leave a post.

Hmm this line up sounds all too familiar, I like it :aok
The Albatross with its sleek lines is a big favorite of mine.  Would love to fly it with the current FM here.

The Spad and the Se5 both being faster would help balance the Dr1.

And as soon as I have an albatross to play with I'll stop flying the Dr1.
Surely I can't be the only one to feel that way?

Definately a step in the right direction.  Hopefully they can add the Albatross and SE5a immediately.  The need to bring the Dr1 under control is strong.

"Albatross Dva - twin, synchronous machine guns set the standard for other German and Allied fighters. By the end of 1916, increased production of the Albatros gave Germany numerical superiority in the air"

It was the Albatros D.I and D.II variants that 'set the standard' during 1916. There were better fighters in service with the Allies by the time the D.Va appeared. Germany never 'enjoyed numerical superiority in the air' during WW1 except when their aircraft were specifically concentrated against local opposition; methinks you mean 'technical superiority'?

Have to agree with you on including the Albatros D-types, no self-respecting WW1 combat flight sim can call itself such unless they're included. Or the SE5a and SPAD 13 for the Allies.

Good list but I'd switch the Halberstadt CL2 for the Neuport (sp) 17.
