It seems that the Cordiale powers have a greater selection of earlier, more rubbish aircraft. Other than the E111 what would people say is the earliest / crapest German plan? The Halberstadt D.III or something else? |

The Halberstadt D type is very much early war and equivalent to the DH2 – firmly in the single gun and limited performance bracket. (It was a decidedly minimal improvement on the Eindekker – certainly not remotely in the Albatros's class.) |

For dogfighting? The Taube.
But not for recon in the very early days. |

In order, from earliest to mid war, the Wings of War/Glory German single seat planes that Nexus made and Ares makes would be: Fokker E.III
Halberstadt D.III
Albatros D.II
Albatros D.III The DH.2 can go against the first three, the Morane Saulnier the first two. And personally I would take the Halberstadt over the DH.2 more often than not. It does have a decent side slip maneuver. |
