| Message text The Sopwith Triplane was one of the planes with highest manouvrability ... is there sombody who say that it cannot reverse a 180turn like a DR1 ??? ....it's not all about speed like for DVIII ! The Tripe was just stable AND maneuverable ...I agree, the Camel is a Flying garbage can with this set of rules... but you cannot kill the tripe to save the Camel! 
If the Sopwith Triplane was so good.. the British woudln't have replaced it with the Camel! 
I disagree, the Triplane maneuverability is already represented in its maneuver schedule. It's identical to the Fokker Dr I BUT for the little detail of stability, wich makes a big difference
The Triplane was very easy to fly... that made it a good firing platform, but unstability would make the Fokker DrI and the Camel more maneuverable.
From what I read about the Triplane and heard from the experts at The Aerodrome, it was very finely balanced, to the point one could do a loop after another almost indefinitely .. BUT it was pointed out that despite having ailerons in each wing, (6 in total) the Dr I was better at rolling and turning because its single pair of long narrow ailerons were more advanced and aerodynamically efficient.
Things are not what they seem 
Game balance is not in question, the Sopwith Triplane was withdrawn from service before the Fokker Dr I came into scene, and they never met in combat. Even without the ability to reverse turns, the Triplane is still superior to all the German planes until mid 1917.
