Fokker D.VII (non-F!) 194km/h at sea level

[BMA_Hellbender]

Probably the biggest question on our minds: is it faster or slower than the Camel (195km/h at sea level)?

 

The official figures says:

 

 

 

Tested on Kuban Autumn with 0 wind at sea level and radiator closed:

 

 

 

This closely matches the Rise of Flight store figure of 190km/h, which was identical for the Camel.

 

Bodes very well for the upcoming D.VIIF, which should have an additional 4-5km/h at sea level.

Good news. I suspect online servers will now be Camel vs D.VII furballs then.

From a very quick test, I could get 200km/h out of the Sopwith Dolphin, for an official figure of 203km/h.

 

Definitely not much of a contender against either the more maneuverable Camel or faster SPAD, but she's a nice jack-of-all-trades.

 

I will do extensive testing of her wing structure resistance to g-loading (same as I did for the Pfalz) and tendency to flip on landing later tonight.

 

 

 

For now I still recommend Central pilots to exploit the absolutely insane 9g maneuver in the Pfalz against Camels, though I'll write a full multiplayer guide once we get closer to release, as I did in the past for Rise of Flight (currently maintained by @J2_Trupobaw).

Not if they nerf the DVII to RoF standards.

 

@HB proceed at your own peril.
