At least the other 39 craft are fairly useful eh. If you are talking numbers DR1 didn't have all that many compared to say Se5 or Camel.. but would you leave it out?
Many people want it, as they do the Snipe and Dolphin and Gotha, and HP and .. <insert favourite craft here> which are also not in the high numbers.

Yep we make 1 craft end of war and it's now IL2 1946?! LOL!
I think you'll find the EV was actually IN the first world war not after it at least. The EV will be in historical squads. It was also pretty significant in it was one of he first thick foil wing monoplanes with good performance from even alow power rotary. Also great field of view below, and wonderful simple construction.

The DVIII is the same craft basically with a fix to the structure but that did not fly (although was sitting on fields in 1918 before war end) and won't be in any squads, so don't panic eh?

Many people also want the big bombers but you will hardly get near one in RL either.
We are also making a DH5 (workhorse but not popular eh?) N24,N23, N28 and others so hopefully one day we'll have a broad spectum. We have dozens partly done, and some craft are for the fun of it too where others are to fill a serious role (ooo having fun in a WW1 sim never!?).

We'll get here. You can of course not buy it and instead fly a DFW as pilot or observer if you choose or maybe something else.

It just was way down on my list of planes that should be added (yes, the Snipe and the Dolphin and certainly the N28 -- America's first fighter -- would come way ahead).

The only one I know who was lobbying for the DVIII was WF2.

But, yes, of course I'll buy it.
