It was probable that the Dr1 was a "significant" improvement over the tripe. It was made based on the tripe with many improvements.
It, like the FokD7 was equipped the better airfoil that improved lift drastically, esp. at low angles of attack.
Two guns is huge improvement by itself and it weighed LESS than the tripehound!
The Dr1's whole rudder could move and many pilots of the dr1 could turn inside many allied planes, using rudder alone. In a well co-ordinated turn it could probably give you 9 cents change on a dime.
The Tripe was faster however, by a very small margin.
It was a bad little b|tch, but not the plane you want to make an escape in.
