On thing I would like to ask the dev team on campaign is to play a "replacement pilot" when the player pilot is killed:
If a pilot is killed, offer the option to the player to create a new pilot who would join the player squadron the day he is killed, or at the expected date of replacement.
This is something very immersive because we have the feeling to follow the history of the squadron as the squadron would retain the history and what happened during the previous career.

Nevermind. Pol beat me to it by 1 minute. LOL. Hopefully we can get another tidbit or two soon.

An excellent idea - the current way, for example, Kiener was one of the pilots based at Ghistelles, flying with v. Pranz. After v. Pranz lost a wing in an unfortunate balloon attack, I had to open up a new pilot profile, for Kiener, and set him to the day after Pranz was killed. The problem there is that all of the other, old names that were based at the 'drome also disappear once a new pilot career is opened. I don't mind doing this the manual way - although it is problematic if there are successful kills assigned to one of the "wingmen" in the duty roster - and then that wingman goes back to zero once you start him up as a new pilot profile, losing his previous kills. Although I can always make up a story that the kills were pending but never verified. But your idea is a fine one - more immersion for a squadron that way. Von S  You can use Pilot Log Editor. Simply create new pilot and transfer him to existing unit. All pilots will be preserved and you come to the same squadron that your dead pilot left.

Here's couple of pictures of the updated Albatros DII and DI. Of course they have animated a pilot, various vibrations in the cockpit and externally. DII ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/qjFOpkT.jpg) DI ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/xFe2kNa.jpg)

YES!! YES..yes..yes!!! Now that's what I'm talking about!! Looks #%&*$# good!
I saw the Alb D,II up close and personal at The Vintage Aviator... and this is as close as realistic as it being right in front of me again! Great job!!
Thank you so much for bringing it up to the new standards of WOFF PE!

Thank you for this info. JJJ - will give it a go should I lose a pilot and see how it works. Great updates on those early Albies Pol, very nice. Von S

Small interesting update for WOFF 2020....
WM added the ability to re-enlist in a squadron to be, in effect, your own deceased pilot's replacement.
Excellent work!...

Pol,
Will British pilots be able to transfer to Home Establishment? No, No change there. Again, you can use Pilot Log Editor.
