The Sopwith Triplane was closely related to its sibling, the Pup, but designed for superior roll and turn rate and had a remarkable rate of climb. The type’s small-chord wings offered a good field of vision compared to biplane fighters. Structurally, the Triplane was strong enough to avoid the extensive rigging seen on many other airplanes of the time. Its maneuverability was helped by the fact that all six of the plane's wings incorporated an aileron.

Kept you waiting huh?

Look I know that's probably not how you say "destroy" in German, but the "flammewerfer werfs flammen" jokes will continue until morale improves. Also seriously this thing is 32 Theler, that's a steal for a fighter-bomber this scary.

Paratrooper and Sopwith are two DOS games I played for hours when I was a kid.

Found this amazing video going through hundreds of old DOS games and it was a nostalgic treat.
