Fokker D VIII - non-steep stall?

[RJames]

I've just played with the Fokker DVII for the first time.
I think it's maneuver deck is "F."
I noticed that of its two stall cards, one does not have the steep maneuver symbol on it.
Is this a misprint, or does it intentionally reflect the plane's maneuverability?

Thanks!

Pretty sure it's legit as the DVII uses the same deck and has a non steep stall.

It IS legit - the Fokker DVII is the only plane to have this card. No other plane uses the WGF 'L' deck.

The Fokker DVIII is the same as the EV, isn't it, using the 'F' deck? The new Series VIII plane? I'm guessing this is a typo, and you meant the Fokker DVII(Biplane), not DVIII (monoplane)?

The Fokker D.VII was indeed a special plane. Even with using the same type of wing (a big source of the D.VII's performance), the Pfalz D.XV wasn't noted as having the "hang on it's prop" capability the D.VII had.

Fokker D VII - my mistake (sorry)

Yes, the E.V/D.VIII uses the F deck. Still, that is a fun one!

Several of planes have the F deck if memory serves me... N28, DVIII and the Hanriot. Are there any others ?

The Hannovers deck is interesting also...90 degree turns and an Immelman. I suspect perks for being smaller than a standard 2 seater.
