Responding to a different problem, LVG overcame the tail heaviness of its machines by increasing the sweep-back of the wings. Late production by SSW and LVG became obsolete, hence many aircraft were finished as trainers with lower performance engines (Argus As.III or NAG C.III).
In addressing a different issue, LVG found a solution to its aircraft's weight problem at the tail by widening the wing's angle of attack. Subsequent models manufactured by SSW and LVG became outdated, leading to many planes being repurposed as trainers with less powerful engines (Argus As.III or NAG C.III).
