That has to be one of the most elegant aircraft in FE, if not in any flight sim. Something to do with the blending of bird-like, bat-like and man-made characteristics, and a reflection on the artistry of the original creator and of this new version.

The Italians surely designed some stylist aircraft (and ships, and cars...!) and that Fiat's one of them. A nicely-rendered Il-2 version there, not least the cockpit. Thanks for sharing, another reason why Il-2 '46 is still THE ww2 air combat sim.

...so I'm sticking with my SSW, even if it is reportedly the angular-tired model inherited from Wings of War. Victor Yeates's descriptions of Camels being looked down on by Dolphins and Fokkers, let alone Snipes, put me right off going for one of them.

Been there, done that :)

Never heard of a Bristol Type 22 but Wikipedia tells me it was a never-built radial-engined Bristol F2B Fighter, with the designation later used for the Bristol Badger, a different machine that didn't fly until late 1919. The F2B would be a worthy contender. Fokker Monoplane is not much use except for beating up BEs or pushers. Provided the SSW type we are talking about is the D.III or D.IV and not the Nieuport 16 copy D.I, I would take the word of the RAF aircrew who wrote this, at the time (quoted from memory from 'The First of the Many', the story of the RAF's 'Independent Force'): It's not the Pfalz or the Fokker Scout It's the Siemens Schuckert we worry about! They do fly high, with the beaucoup speed, We can thank our stars it's the pilots they need!
