Dr1 top speed
« on: March 25, 2011, 09:20:28 AM »
Someone had posted in a thread some top speed info on the Dr1 that varied from what's in game.  I've searched and can't find it anymore.  Can someone who knows what I'm talking about provide a link or repost?

I'd say the yellow line, UrIIa, 138 horses, seems closest
"Crikey, sir. I'm looking forward to today. Up diddly up, down diddly down, whoops, poop, twiddly dee - decent scrap with the fiendish Red Baron - bit of a jolly old crash landing behind enemy lines - capture, torture, escape, and then back home in time for tea and medals."
