Message text Nice question 
the Camel had a faster right-turn due to rotary engine moment, so in the game it can perform 10R and 11R maneuver. Historically a lot of pilots instead to turn 90° left prefer to turn 270° right, to reach the same position.
Nieuport wasn't enough nimble to turn so fast (11 maneuver not allowed)
Nobody know (neither the enginners who built that) why the Pfalz DIII had a so fast left turning (11L) 
For every fighter it was question of baricenter and torque moment, wing surface. Planes with rotary engine had a major torque than inline one, so they were slower but really fast turning.
Richtofen quote about the DrI : "It climb like a monkey and turn like the devil".
I hope it was of some help. If you have some curiosity about wwI fighters, don't esitate to ask to
