Russ,
I'm completely in agreement with you about the Jastas' performance.It doesn't do any good to conserve resources, attempt to fight only with clear advantage and gain a positive kill ratio if you end up losing the fight. The Germans were never able to curtail the RFC/RAF, and that had quite an impact on the ground war. Resource poor or not, more consistent aggression on the part of the Jastas was required.
