Hi Tobias
As Rick mentioned the "changing" of the rules for the Schustas into Schlastas
created a "
huge" problem for ordinary FA/FAA who suddenly become
without protection for their front flights...
It also led to "extremely" high losses for the German Air Force (not only the problem with waiting for the DVIIs) during Apr and May 1918...
However, already in Mar 1918 several FA/FAA started build up B]own[/B] protection, and by summer it was again an OK situation for most of them..
