Ah yes, Robert, they certainly did change. Freidrich went up this morning on a reccy mission, with a single wingman and no less than six Albatri from his would-be future Jasta, in escort..... unfortunately, no sooner had they reached the lines, than a pack of rabid RFC tripes set upon them. Down they went, fighting all the way. Managed to land in a field on friendly soil, only to be informed that I had somehow "killed myself" on the mission exit screen.

What bloomin' use is an escort, if they don't actually protect you? I could only count four tripes, maybe five at max. Bah, onto the next pilot.
