Anyway, anyone who flew RB3D for any period of time knows that the Dr.1 is porked because of the 3 foot thick armour plating they installed in the tail section.

Of course it's porked.

I read it on the interwebby thingy, so of course it must be true.

Dr.1 is a classic case of the headline grabber that left many of the workhorses to fade away.

Mustang and Spitfire compared to Thunderbolt and Hurricane.
Corsair compared to Wildcat.
Dr.1 and Camel compared to SE5 and Albatros D series.

That is not to say they were not great comabt planes in themselves, but they certainly all gained more than their fair share of the limelight and fame.
