That sux. It won't work then.

WOFF assigns planes to regular pilot (and no need to fiddle with these, as they get assigned correct planes) on a 3-tier basis:

Tier 1 for highest ranks
Tier 2 for middle ranks
Tier 3 for lowest ranks

Ranks are divided thus:

Britain (RFC)
Sergeant - 3
2nd Lieutenant - 2
Lieutenant - 2
Captain - 1
Major - 1

Britain (RNAS)
Flight Sub-Lieutenant - 3
Flight Lieutenant - 2
Flight Commander - 1
Squadron Commander - 1

France
Caporal - 3
Sergent - 3
Adjutant - 2
Sous Lieutenant - 2
Lieutenant - 1
Capitaine - 1

Germany
Flieger - 3
Gefreiter - 3
Unteroffizier - 3
Feldwebel - 2
Vizefeldwebel - 2
Offizierstellvertreter - 2
Leutnant - 2
Hauptmann - 1
Rittmeister - 1

But it all matters not, since you can't extract the ranks from the HA's and these are the ones that need their plane assignments revised.

The connecting rod out of my brain, my brain,
From out of my arse take the camshaft,
And assemble the engine again."
