Flying Circus squadron compositions

[migmadmarine]

For an initial question, are there any units that retain their Albatros D.Va through the end of the war? PWCGs menus are a little clunky to click through to find what aircraft are available with what squadrons when. Would be great if you could have a list or spreadsheet available on your website to show what aircraft are with what squadrons when. 

 

As a feature idea, I know that in this era successful or famous pilots to be able to have much more sway than later conflicts when it comes to acquiring or retaining particular aircraft for their use, would it be at all possible to simulate this in some form, to be able to order a particular aircraft as a personal mount? Me and some friends are running a FC career, and I know one of our guys would want to retain his Albatros through the end of the war pretty much, but I'll badly want to fly the D.VIII when they become available, but there aren't any squadrons that will have both coincidently.

PWCG already has the ability to change aircraft types in your unit.  

Nobody retains DVas until the end.  In RoF, with its larger map and more squadrons, some did.

PWCG already has this feature.  

Campaign->Activities->Equipment Request

From there you can trade in any plane that you want for any other plane of that role that is in service.  I have the DVa withdrawn in Oct 1918 and the Pfalz withdrawn on Sept 1918, so you can select them any time before that.

Cool, didn't know about this fantastic

Now, could be amusing if there was the option of captured equipment, would be fun to RP it if you, say drove a Camel down near your home field or something.
