This may have been mentioned before, but as someone who occasionally likes not to be the leader in a formation, is there any way to keep the formation leader from constantly changing his throttle settings? This must happen 100's of times a minute and makes it extremely difficult to keep in formation. Shouldn't most of these crates be flying at 100% power most of the time anyway?
Just a small niggle, but it it could be addressed that would be great.

I'll second that, Bob. I thought it was me and/or my flight controls until I went full autopilot once and watched my throttle vary significantly.
SALUTE TO ALL!

Would be nice if you were able to assign a custom skin to a non-ace pilot (not the player pilot) in the Sqn/Esc/Jasta

Having been playing PE now for a couple of weeks I have to say how superb it is. Saying that, having flown around during mid 1916 a fair bit now there are a few additions I'd love to see.
The Germans only seem to have the Aviatik two seater until June/July when the Roland CII turns up in numbers. I think the addition of the Albatros B/C series, which flew in great numbers throughout 14/15/16, would not only increase potential targets flying Entente aircraft, but also increase the options when flying as the Germans as well.

Wings and fuselage could be—and often were—pierced in 50 places, missing the occupants by inches (blissfully unaware of how close it had come until they returned to base). Then the sailmaker would carefully cover each hole with a square inch of Irish linen frayed at the edges and with a brushful of dope make our aircraft 'serviceable' again within an hour."

From about 1-21 March 1918, Just before the Spring Offensive, Jasta 77b is assigned the Albatros DIII for it's aces. It was flying the DIII OAW, then it downgrades to the DIII rather than upgrading to the DVa.
On 22 March, it received the DVa (1918 marking).
There are DVa skins with the 1917 marking that I think were intended for this 1-21 March period.
There are no Albatros DIII skins for Jasta 77b, it having come into being in December 1917.
Would it be possible, in a future update, to have this aircraft assignment changed to the DVa from 1 to 21 March 1918?
There is another Staffel with this same situation but I can't, for the life of me, remember which one it was. Maybe Jasta 30.

We will remember them.

I would love to see shared victories. They don’t even need to count as real scores, but be their own, entirely separate category. They could be awarded through claims, when two pilots contribute significantly to one victory- in my last mission I scored 30 hits in one dogfight (as evidenced in the debrief), while an observer from another plane scored 13 hits seconds later and was awarded the kill. Tough luck, one might say, and fair enough, but it would probably be more realistic if this was classified as a shared victory.

Well, that's a problem. In WW1 they didn't have 'shared' victories. If five planes participated in one shoot-down they were all awarded a full kill.

Quite right, which of course means that the total number of victories awarded bears no resemblance to the number of aircraft and balloons actually shot down. Add to this the British adding 'Forced to Land' as confirmed victories until quite late on in the war, when in fact in most cases neither the aircraft or the pilot was out of the fight for more than a few days at most. I agree with the point around WOFF giving the kill to whoever fired the last bullet to hit the target rather than the one who got 99% of the hits can be a bit annoying. This probably happened a lot though as it would have been difficult to ascertain that a target was 'just about to go down' following pilot 'A''s long burst, but then did go down following pilot 'B's couple of rounds. In this instance awarding both a full victory would be fair and as Steve says, historically accurate.

Probably addressed before, but I would like a more blinding sun corona. The size of the current sun disk is fine, but the corona needs to be at least 50% larger and both the disk and the corona need to be more blinding. You can still trace the outline of aircraft flying across the sun. I remember in Red Baron that you were actually blinded a bit by the sun, which is more realistic. As a bonus, the AI should also be blinded by the sun, but that may not be possible.

Last time I saw, the plane was going down after my last round, but that of course doesn't mean I killed it. Anyway, I'd rather see the real thing then!

Not in the French Air Force, the kill was "awarded" to one of the victors, usually the most famous or highest ranked. Of course, this created tensions and for instance Guynemer made a lot of ennemies this way
