Didn't we find the DrI could only do about 92mph? IIRC, its speed was a BIG reason why it was phased out.


And BnZ, you've clearly never fought my D VII in the weeds, have you  :D?

You started this thread and it was obviously about your want and desire in spite of your use of 'we' and Google.

  Well yes, the DVII can somewhat use the third dimension from level flight on the deck easy enough. That is what makes it special. The Dr1s and Camels are pretty much left to circle if they cant trade a little alt for airsppeed.

I like many of these ideas, mostly the Zeppelin and flying free in WW1 arena. That could be quite the teaser for newbies to get into the action of WW2. (Side note, what about letting people fly free in the DA?)

If a Zeppelin is created I would think it should have some gunner positions manning little .303s. I know Zeppelins had them in real life, not sure how many.
