In the readme it took an Ace with skills to fly it to it's full potential.

quote: Pilots referred to Fokker Triplane as a exceptionally maneuverable plane, due to thick wing section it could climb rapidly and all in all had perfect flight characteristics that only Sopwith Camel could argue. The shortcoming of the plane was that only highly experienced pilots could use its full potential

Oh, they don't mention how ssssssssllllllllllllloooooooooooowwwwwww it was, and the fact that it tended to have rather nasty wing failures?

Though it did have pretty amazing maneuverability...

Though there is in fact a fighter which could be described as the best fighter of WWI, and that would be the Fokker D.VII

D Vii was so good that it was specifically called out in the peace treaty.
