Ciao guys,
Osprey’s Duel Series SE.5a vs. Albatros D.V – Western Front 1917-1918 by Jon Guttman could have some interesting hints on this subject.
This is an excerpt from page 31 comparing different climb rates between the D.III and the D.V. It seems that the D.V was quite a few slower than the D.III.
