Hi all,

Can someone more knowledgeable than I wax prolix on the issue of comparative dive ability for the Aviatik D1, Pho"nix C1, Pomilio PC, and the Ufag C1?

Not compare them to each other -- I mean compare them to other buses of more common knowledge. For example:

Lt. Finchely Bar-None, March 1918: "The Aviatik D1 could dive like a bat, easily escaping my Sopwith Camel..."

... or ...

77th Squadriglia [trans.]: "I love it when I get behind and above those Pho"nix C types. In my HD1 they can't out turn me, they can't out climb me, and they can't out dive me."


I need this to add the types above to my Altitude Rules -- unlike the published rules, they don't assume all planes dive the same. So I'm happy with my Camels out-diving my Triplanes, and the Pfalzen and SPAD13 having a ferocious dive, but I'm not familiar with the diving performance of the planes above (Ufag, Aviatik D, Phoenix, SAML) on the Italian front.

Thanks for any help!
