If any plane doesn't belong, it's the Siemens Schuckert DI. I don't know if any of them reached the front; by the time they were completed they were obsolete.
Agreed; never saw the SS DI in a WW I game till I played Blue Max - and we never ever used them in the board game version I played back in my college days. I think they were included simply as an equivalent to the N-17 for play balance purposes.
According to Wikipedia, only 95 were built and nearly all of them were simply used as trainers.
Historically, the Albatross DII would've been a more worth inclusion, as they were at their deployment peak in Jan. 1917. Given the DIII is available at that point though, it's probably not worth the bother.
