This is what my current DID campaign plane setup looks like in KEK Nord, late June 1916: Somewhat demoralizing, wouldn't you say? I know this is not a bug, but a feature of WOFF. However, I'm sure most people agree with me that it makes no sense to find your pilot in a situation similar to the one shown in my screenshot. If the squadron has enough new airplanes available for every pilot, and some of those new planes are even kept in reserve, with nobody flying them, why can't my pilot get one? Could the plane management system be changed so that such completely unrealistic situations would be avoided in WOFF?

Yep starting at a low rank I've been annoyed at being given "the old rust bucket up the corner" What can be annoying though is trying to keep up with the faster craft in your squadron/Jasta.. I must admit to liking OBD,S attention to detail and I believe this was how it was? If you use Triple J,s Me though Hasse you can change your craft in there to what the other lads are flying..It really is an incredible piece of work that IMO enhances WOFF to a even greater level.

It would make sense if the squadron had only a couple of new machines available. Then they would of course give priority to the most experienced pilots. But when there are more than enough new machines available for everybody, and in fact so many that some of them are even put in the reserve, things cease to be realistic. I may have to give this mod a try.

You're missing the point. In the pic above a lowly Vizefeldwebel is flying a better plane than the player with a higher rank. All we're asking for is some justice! Mutiny is just around the corner!

If they keep flying the old planes they will definitely get shot. That’s not a threat, that’s a guarantee.

The opposite of this also seems to be true at least in specific circumstances. I was flying in FFA 32 from November 1915 to early January 1916. When the only ace of the unit left at start of December (due to database error Ernst von Althaus is assigned to 32 rather than 23 during November), no one was flying the Fokker E.III anymore using the Aviatik C.I instead. The two Eindeckers of the squadron collected dust in reserve through December and January.
Not sure if this can happen with any FFA even without scripted ace leaving the squadron but it could explain why I never saw a single Fokker (from any squadron) during the two months I was in the unit.
