Albatros D.Va

The Albatros D.Va is a single-seat fighter aeroplane in Rise of Flight, armed with two 7,92mm cannons and with a maximum speed of 186 km/h.

History Early in the year 1917, the "Albatros D.V" was designed with the intent of remedying such errors of its predecessor, the D.III, as wing breakage during flight and poor combat performance; to the contrary, it failed at both. It was widely decried by Central pilots for unreliability and faulty manoevring: the famed Red Baron even went so far as to call it "obsolete" and "inferior". Soon enough, Albatros Flugzeugwerke began to work on relieving this catastrophe. In summer 1917 they responded with the Albatros D.Va, a modified and improved version with additional wing bracing. Although the wing structure was not entirely free of problems, it was a turn for the better.

Production of the D.Va was discontinued in spring of 1918.
