Engineers at the Albatros Werke faced the task of building a fast and maneuverable fighter plane capable of besting anything the Allies had in their arsenal. The previous design, the Albatros D. III, had a lower wing defect that led to wing failure in steep dive. Albatros engineers were unable to discover out the reason real behind these failures. One possible solution was to move the aileron control wires from the lower wing to top.
In Spring 1917 test flights of the D.V were carried out. Although outward appearances of the Albatros D.V and D. III were similar, there were important design differences. The D.V had a larger tail fin and the top wing was lowered and brought closer to fuselage, which improved the pilot's visibility. The radiator was set to starboard of the centerline and the fuselage cross-section became more round.
Fighter squadrons received the Albatros D.V in May 1917. Several months of combat testing showed that lower wing problem was not solved. Engineers decided to move the aileron control wire back to the lower wing and strengthen the attach point of the V-shaped strut that connected the lower spar to the fuselage. For insurance they also added an additional strut to the lower wing spar. A more powerful Mercedes D. IIIa engine was installed. With these changes the plane received the classification of Albatros D. Va.
The plane was manufactured at Albatros Werke and Ostdeutsche Albatros Werke factories.
Albatros airframes were used in combat against all types of enemy planes. Pilots loved its great visibility, handling, sufficient speed and climb rate. The new engine improved high altitude flight characteristics as well. However, there was still no confidence in low wing attachment and pilots refused to perform steep dives in combat. Despite this drawback, veteran pilots continued to increase their combat score. Sorties featuring large numbers of Albatros fighters over the Front became more frequent.

You absolute madman! Look closely at your right wings. After you hit that debris from the last plane you shot down it damaged your bracing wires and the landing severed all the bracing wires to your wings and sheared the struts! It's a miracle you made it back to the ground in one piece! Nice flying!
Yeah that's why I decided to land there instead of heading back to the airfield hahaha. Pretty crazy that I survived!
@@Wolfpack345 your Kommandant would have had a few choice words for you, Flugleiter 🤣
The moved the radiator because the pilot was getting scalded by boiling water when it was holed.
I also liked DV the most in RoF - looking forward to try it out in FC!
Thx for the video!
It was a blast! Just waiting for the map now..
My favourite plane in the classic Avalon Hill Richthofens war and TSRs Dawn Patrol games.The Pfalz D-III is sluggish but a tough plane i used alot as well.
I'll definitely be getting this. For VR. 😁
I bet this would be amazing in VR
Flying Circus III was released today.
thank you again.
It's my pleasure! Glad you enjoyed the videos!
Another great reveal.
I would buy this in a heartbeat if it didn't cost as much as an entire game....
Hot Damn wolfie, do you need ground crew? Loved the alby flight
Thanks!! :D
nice, I have Rise of Flight (also all of the non early release il-2 GB content, and Il-2 COD) and a fair amount of flying experience.
With il-2 GB primarily being a ww2 sim , *MY QUESTION: How do u find this compares to ROF (flight model and damage model wise)?*
I think a lot of people that like ww1 planes also will prob have ROF. :-)
(AS FC is still early access and the Il-2 GB series in general is in continuous development obviously this is "as of now" in current state kind of thing)
It is VERY similar to Rof. As far as I know very minor changes have been made to the Flight models. The damage model has all of the good stuff that GB brings to the table however.
I feel the best way to describe this expansion is ROF remastered. It's fun and I do hope they continue to work on Flying Circus. As you said Great Battles is in continuous development so it will constantly improve.
Hello what are the Best tactics for dva? Any strong points and weaknesses? Thank You
Overall it is a very versatile aircraft. You want to stick to boom and zoom tactics though. Be careful not to dive too quickly however. The wings are fragile.
I wish this game had a dynamic campaign. Or even just a scripted campaign at this point.
I agree. I wish there was a career mode. There is a community made campaign called Kaisershlact that has just come out. I am doing a series on that very soon
I read, that Austrian manufacturer Oeffag, who build Albatros in license for Austria-Hungary air force solve the problems with strenght of lower wing, but this solution never arrive to germans, who has this problem until end of the war
This is correct. I researched the DV extensively a few years ago. The Austrian manufactred Albatrosses did not have this problem. After the problems were identified with the D3 the Austrians stiffed up the lower wing structure and connection and these changes continued into the production of the DVa. One thing this video did not mention was the DVa was made almost obsolete by the Fokker D7 which was by far a more forgiving plane and had a better engine and lighter weight. It could boom and zoom better than the spads and out turn an SE5A. It was the one aircraft whose production was prohibited in the Treaty of Versailles.
do you play this game with both the VR headset and a flight stick... i heard than you need to own il-2 BOS before you can buy flying circus..
is this a single player mission or online ?!
This was singleplayer.
Hey were do you find these games are they only for the pc i have a xbox one s
Yeah it is pc only. Sorry
yo dude can you tell me how you switch footage to the plane getting shot down by you that would be great
Yeah there is a track recorder. I think the default key is Ctrl+R
@@Wolfpack345 god bless you
Two years later and the AI are still doing the same 3 silly tricks over and over and over. If the AI were better this could be a good game.
Though the gunner's job might be as terrible as Wolfpack said, I would rather have gotten hit in the brain pan, like the last gunner, than worry all the way down to the ground, as did the pilot.
Both terrible ways to go.
The Albatros D.Va did NOT stay in production until the end of the war. Production was phased out in early-mid 1918, at which point the Albatros Werke started producing Fokker D.VIIs.
Albatros D.III, D.V, and D.Vas served until the end of the war.
You said "go ahead and" 15 times. Every one of them completely redundant. That's a habit you have to break.
Is he using very
?
@@Wolfpack345 ya I can’t remember what I was trying to say either by thanks for replying.
lol pull up after disintegrating planes
4:20 why do you take so long to rotate off the ground? You can do it in half the distance, man. hahaha
I like rolling around! :D
They are not putting in and hanriog bummer
