The SE5a is definitly not the best allied fighter in my opinion. The Sopwith Snipe is clearly superior to the SE5a. I will even go as far and say the Nieuport 28 is an overall better fighter than the SE5a. I might even a bit further and say the Sopwith Tri-plane is superior to the SE5a.
Anyone wish to debate my argument?
Well, go to the stats and see that the SE5a is about pair with the Alb.DV (New Model scenario) See also that the DV is slightly better than the N28 (Yankee Doodle comes to town). Thus, I would deduct that the SE5a is also slightly better than the N28 (+ stability and robustness - manoeuvers). This is confirmed by the matches SE5a vs Pfalz DIIIa and N28 vs Pfalz DIIIa, in favor of the SE5a. The Fokker Dr1 is no match for the SE5a whereas the Dr1 appears slightly better than the Sopwith triplane. Therefore, same conclusion, SE5a is better than the triplane.
Of course the Snipe is the best of all... All these stats are of course "player" dependent: You'd fear some of them in any plane |
