According to the Wings of Linen wiki, the Rumpler 6B1 seaplane had a speed of 153 kph. In Jack Herris’s Rumpler Aircraft of WWI, he states that with removing the spinner on the propeller and modifying the shape of the nose, the Rumpler 6B2 was able to fly 14 kph faster. That would put the 6B2 in a different speed band than the 6B1. The card shown below by MaxHeadroom, in his album, shows a K maneuver deck which is the right speed. So, what deck should the slower 6B1 use: E, G, P, R, T or Y?
According to the Tools for Working out Stats (which really needs to be updated), the E, P, and R deck are for rotary engine airplanes, which the Rumpler 6B1 is not. So we are left with G, T, and Y. The G deck has one each slide slip that is steep, the Y deck does not have an Immelmann turn, and the T deck seems to have all the goodies.
What should one use?
