Ramblings Over the Front

This decision is super easy - I already have the plane for this deck nearly painted!

The E Deck is a nice early war deck in terms of maneuverability. Speed is about the same as its contemporaries, and with the broad left and right sideslips it is a joy of a deck to use. Plane options are very limited, being just the Nieuport 11 and the Siemens-Schuckert D.I, and it is the latter plane that I have nearly completed. By the time the SS D.I reached the front, it was woefully outclassed by the mid-war Allied planes. But still, I like it! The D.I has a meaner look than the Nieuports, even if its performance was lacking.
