i think it should be perked.

dont get me wrong its my favorite plane.

even though f1 has similar turn ability the dr1 is far better for visibility and its gunnery stability is much greater than the f1 which is completely unstable.

Was it really this fast?  All of the past stuff I have seen always had it topping out at about 70mph.  Here it is barely slower than the F1 or DR7.

I think if other aircrafts were added the arena would be interesting.

I haven't flown WW1 sim since Red Baron and Red Baron II, even with all the bugs RB II had it was still an enjoyable game - allowing you to paint the aircrafts and add different markings as aces did.

If HTC could recreate the WW1 environment RB II had it would be quite enjoyable, however since HTC only has so much manpower to go around, I wouldn't want anything taken away from the WW2 arenas.

If he could? Few planes like nieuport 17, S.E.5.a and Albatros DIII would bring alive the arena.

Of the four planes, Dr.I is the best 1 vs. 1 dog fighter.

Change the map so it is not an on the deck arena & force the fight up higher & the Dr1 wont be as dominant.
