>D.VIII were better planes with the VIII extremely underrated
Mah Nigga!
But to be fair: As much as I got a hardon for the D.VIII, it arrived way too late at the front lines. That's the biggest reason why it's so underrated. And then:
>First E.Vs arrived in July 1918
>In August the entire fleet got grounded and production halted after two or three E.Vs crashed after sudden unexpected wing faults
>Late September production resumed with new machines labeled as D.VIII but the first machines didn't arrive at the front before mid October and it isn't clear if these even took part in active combat.
When we're talking about nimble motherfuckers who could turn on a dime then the E.V/D.VIII sure was among the very best of the best of WW1. But sadly mostly on paper.
Pic related: Engels E.6. This man is probably the biggest WW1 plane nut you can find in Germany. He's been building his own "fleet" since he was a teenager.
