The Fokker E.V/D.VIII was a German parasol-monoplane fighter aircraft designed by Reinhold Platz and built by Fokker-Flugzeugwerke. The E.V was the last Fokker design to become operational with the Luftstreitkräfte, entering service in the last months of World War I. Dubbed the Flying Razor by Allied pilots, the D.VIII had the distinction of scoring the last aerial victory of the war.

    This is really fun to just fly around

    A truly sublime "Razor"! Incredible build! If you'd entertain suggestions; may I recommend you turn your talents toward building a Siemens-Shuckert D. IV, with a comparable part count to your Fokker? I believe it would prove a most interesting and challenging build for you, as well as an excellent, and truly unique aircraft for the rest of us to enjoy! Again, well done!

    I love the fact you Incorporated a rotating engine. Awesome detail!

    It looks like that Fokker is about to barf an engine (and it looks kind of like the logo of facepunch studios.)

    This is aesthetically pleasing, especially the fuselage. I really like the paint scheme too.
    There are a few things you can still improve on though. First off the performance isn't right. It accelerates way too fast. Second off all the wing surfaces aren't that great. Try to taper the trailing edge into a sharp angle, instead of a rounded one like on the elevators and main wings or a rectangular one like on the rudder. Third off there are some minor issues, like why do the guns have to be on an AG?
    Over all a quite nice simple replica. I assume you're an alt, but still you have my compliments.

    Looks freaking awesome but there's much to be desired with the performance

    @ForwardUntoDawn well, now you know. I'm hoping to see this implemented on your future builds. If you need any tips on how to make it work, ping me on Discord.

    This is super cool! I have a soft spot for WWI Planes, they’re so pretty and unique in their own little way. And this craft is no exception!

    @EternalDarkness thanks! Yeah the acceleration always bugged me when building this

    Acceleration is a bit hard. You should have reduced drag and power. Other than that, very nice bird, especially for the part count. I enjoyed playing with it.
