I went for the Albatross DV but 2nd place would be the Plalfz IIIa if judging on ability to kill. But they are all great models. :ernae:
I've tried flying other aircraft ... but the true only aircraft I fly 99 percent of the time is the spad.
I'd like to see the vii in there too.

I also fly the SPAD XIII even though I have purchased all of them. I love her climb and dive ability and she is my favourite bird in the multiplayer.
Pfalz D.XII - boom n zoom
I like the SPAD but the view from the cockpit is so restricted... Have you people who name it as their favourite aircraft found a way around that?
The S.XIII is indeed not comfortable regarding the cockpit visibility - especially if you are using TrackIR. I dont have any special method - just using default views and, sadly, external views. With those ones I can easily maneouver and If I fall in troubles, I simply dive and run away.
If you are not using TrackIR, try to use keys restricted to cockpit moves: left/right/up/down. If you will set the slider responsible for fast movement inside of the VC, you will be able to improve the views a bit.
At the beginning, I was not using TrackIR, just stick in my right hand and left on mouse to look around. But once my old stick died and I bought myself the Saitek x52, i was forced to wear TrackIT because of the separate throttle
I use TrackIR and zoom out as much as I can, but it remains uncomfortable. But yes, apart from that the SPAD is a great plane.
I voted for the Albatros D.V but now that i have it my vote goes to the Fokker D.VII
Fokker D.VII for me
I voted for the Fokker DVII but now prefer the Se5a. high speed, a stable gunnery platform, good forward view, good bombload, excellent instrumentation and cockpit layout.
The Fokker D.VII is definitely my favourite, however I hope a more poweerful version with the Mercedes engine will be available in the future.....

I selected the Albatross simply because I've always through the shape was so graceful and designed for speed. Square radiators belong on cars, not in the air. JMHO
