The DVa is very smooth, and easy to fight with. In fact I prefer it to the early model (Mercedes powered) DVII we currently have.
The SPAD is still the "uber" plane of the sim so far, but the upcoming SEVa will steal some of it's thunder. The Pfalz D3 is an unknown quantity to me, other than what it looks like. We shall see...

Hi ElAurens, yes I have to agree regarding the Nieuport 28, nimble aircraft and nice roll rate, its a real challenge aiming with those offset guns too.....a good trainer if ever there was for the necessity of getting in close, as you should. I too prefer the handling of the Dva, looks great too
Re the Spad, I would disagree that anything in this sim thus far is "Uber", but then I have never believed in the concept of "Uber" planes. It is always the pilot that matters. Performance is of course great, fast and a great diver, relatively stable gun platform too. One big weakness however is cockpit visibility, SA is always paramount, but in this sim more than others.....and with the Spad if you don't have trackir then forget about it. Have to agree though, its my personal fave thus far.
This is a welcome move by Neoqb, and at least shows willingness to address community grievances (of which there have been many) and shows good will. This will go a long way, as will this sim with more much needed hard work. They seem to be grasping this, and I look forward to the bigger second patch. I am an optimist, and hopefully its onwards and upwards from here.
Now go make me a Sopwith Snipe!!
