The "Fokker Scare" made life difficult for Allied pilots, but gradually, as newer machines reached the front, they began to regain parity. When a Fokker Eindecker was captured and actually tested, Allied pilots on the airfield gave out a resounding cheer as they clearly saw their newer machines able to out turn the German monoplane. By mid-1916, the days of the Eindecker were over, and the Germans found themselves struggling to maintain an aerial presence in France.

Be2c two-seat reconnaissance (also on the Early War page)
Note: the Be2c has a damage profile without weapons. In real life, the gunner's position made his machinegun virtually useless, and it was too difficult to simulate.

1 1/2 Strutter
two seat recon, bomber and fighter
Nieuport 11 single seat scout (1916 only)
"mock" version
Note: we have yet to find a shareware Nieuport 11. So.... it was decided to use an early N-17 with a wing mounted Lewis gun to simulate the N-11. The flight dynamics and damage profile simulate the Nieuport 11, and we can guarantee that it is tricky to fly!
