"For Germany" was the issue. I checked my German careers and the Somme River is on the far southern end of my usual patrol areas. No shortage of enemies - certainly the (overly IMHO) adventurous French Squadrons. Getting ready to play and I have not flown German since the latest patch. Guess this gives me an excuse to do so.
EDIT: Guess you can disregard. Using the Somme River as a dividing line none of my usual German careers go south of there.

Flying for Jasta 10 in Dec. 1916 in Verdun, based at Sivry. Not much French traffic here. I get to meet an unescorted pair of Caudrons from time to time. Sometimes with a single escorts, but haven't seen a flight of Nieuports of more than 2 for a while now. I probably will have to fend off whole squadrons now that I've said that.

Shredward, I just had my Jasta 10 HA's turn in their Alb D.II's for the rusty Halb D.II's. Is this normal? Around Dec. 17, 1916. Received a message earlier (Dec. 12) that we're getting an upgrade - shiny new Halb D.II, which I ignored, because we already had them for ages.

I thought the sim took into account historical supply problems with parts and aircraft temporarily being taken out of service due to parts shortages, etc. WOFF does take aircraft in and out of service in a historically correct method and time. Within the limits of the game engine of course. For example: Fok/Dr.1's are in service in Fall 1917 replacing, generally, the Alb DV then being themselves replaced by Alb DV's again in the next "game cycle" reflecting the wing issues experienced by the Triplane. They are latter brought back a couple of months later just like in real life. Pretty slick on OBD's (Shredwards?) part. The WOFF database is awesome and a treasure in itself. With that said I am unfamiliar with the above Jasta's and time period so....

That's what I thought initially, that they're falling back on the Halbs because of the weak lower wing fiasco, but we didn't get the Alb D.III's yet and it's a few months too early for that. The weird part is I got to keep my Alb D.II and they got stuck with Halbs D.II's despite the availability of Halbs D.III's and their ranks being high enough to get those. Never've seen that before.

Yes. Plane assignment (whatever the issue above, if there even is one, aside) can be a little "funny" as you mix Jasta HA's, you, and new/replacement planes. Least as of several patches ago - have not been in the position to see recently. Back in the day, when your Jasta received a partial re-equip of newer planes, the HA's present - even if they had 0 victories or were brand-new, would get the new plane while you, the 12 victory ace and salty dog, would continue in the older aircraft till a set date (usually when the whole unit should have them) even though the unit has 4 or 6 of the new planes in reserve. Minor issue but a Campaign Editor would fix that real quick.
