Were there two HAs with same name, or is this a minor WOFF goof-up?



Was Max related to Hans?

Just check the squad for more details on the max duo.




oops wrong second photo

correct 2nd Max

No dates of birth so they are HA's.
Don't have my WOFF machine fired up but check the GermanAces.txt file to see if he is entered twice or there are, in fact, two of them.
I am not an expert on German names but they don't sound too uncommon. Maybe it's the German version of "Joe Smith "

I have seen that before in a different squad and reported it to Polovski which he had fixed in a previous release. Maybe you should send this to him for the future!

Thanks Wasp!
That was an oopsie. We'll fix it.

MudWasp, I didn't even know that we could open the pilot books of ALL pilots.
Where is that to be done???

Olham, go into the campaign and left click on the pilots;


or just go into the duty room and left click on pilots;

That was where I got the log of my former DiD rottenflieger, Franz, who amassed 12 victories before he and an enemy collided.



click on medals;

When you think you know it all...
Thanks a lot, MudWasp, this had not been aware to me - I just went through Jasta 5,
and it is simply GREAT to see the correct photo with each HA, plus the rating!

Yes it is, too bad we can't go deeper into the log book like we can with "player".
You can check out their medals though.

Well, this is way more than I had expected - after all, WOFF has to keep these
pilot books at hand for ALL historical aces, Entente or German!
It will make me feel much more connected to my Staffel.

Mudwasp are you using either version of Creaghorn's Aces Mod?

No, I'm not.

That may explain it.
Never paid real close attention before but, in J11, for example, all the HA's (and non-HA's) show "N/A" in the medal box and I cannot click on it. I have not got one yet in my current campaign but IIRC the players do show.
Unsure of how the Aces Mod would interfere with the display of MvR's medals.
And when you start a new career the listing of the squadrons current aces is often not listed.

EDIT:
Oddly they did list this morning when I checked an American squadron - the 103rd - to see what aces it had attached. And the AmericanAces.txt is untouched by the Aces Mod.
Clearly there is some king of "administrative" issue with it and WOFF.
Creaghorn?

Hmmm...restarted (new) my J11 1918 career without the Aces Mod and everyone still shows "N/A" for medals or "0" and they are still not clickable. Got nothing else really going except a mission mod. Maybe I'll have to give it a few missions.
