    Default Sopwith Triplane WoW D deck now a WoG U deck... what's the difference?

    Folks,
    Can you clue me in as to what the difference is between the original Wings of War D deck they had for the Sopwith Triplane that is apparently now a variant U maneuver deck. I tried to find a description in the forums and nothing was listed but I did see a few other planes from WoW got changed over in the scope of the game progression.

    If you can describe what the U deck might be I can patch a deck together to play it in the new version. (I have most of the other original decks.)

    Thanks!

    It's a faster D deck. Take a D deck, then choose cards from the faster C deck that correspond.

    Hey thanks... so it's basically an F deck then with 2 sharp right turns and 0 sharp left turns. Or does it also lack the wide side steps like a C deck would not have in them?

    O Deck minus 2 hard left turns or M deck minus 1 hard left turn & wide right side slip will make a U deck:

    Deck U (22) – Fast speed - 4.7cm - (arrow is 80% of the card)
    3 straight
    2 hard right turn (90°)
    3 right turn
    3 left turn
    2 stall - steep
    1 Immelmann !
    2 right sideslip
    2 left sideslip
    1 broad right sideslip - steep
    1 broad left sideslip - steep
    1 climb
    1 dive

    Isn't the U-deck more accurate speed-wise than the D-deck. The Triplane was faster than the Dr1 and the Pup, both having the D-deck....

    Agreed .
    There might be a case for the D-deck for the 2 gun version (due to the extra weight of the extra gun) but even that is debatable.
