A hypothetical that seems perfectly realistic to me, since Sakai would probably have mistaken an F6F for an ...

We want to believe [:D]
i really don't like Zero invulnerability early in the war as much allied super Corsairs late in the war.
Hope that experience is now important...

<r> Actually, in old WITP Saburo Sakai woul'd die first time he spotted F6F <E>:)</E><br/>
And he actually on one occasion flew into formation of F6Fs near Iwo Jima leading formation of rookie pilots, and they all managed to return home safely. On other ocasion he flew into the CAP of Corsairs ...

<t> Hi!<br/>
Is there any possibility that some of results of air combats could be posted.<br/>
I'm especially interested in results of:<br/>
untrained Zekes vs. experienced Corsairs<br/>

Who knows...
Every source tends to have different data and explanations.
the truth is out there... [8|]

It carried Jean, because only that particular biplane bomber was able to launch from her short flight deck carrying torpedo...

Actually it coul'd carry B4Y Jean torpedo bombers, but was unable to carry A6Ms like in stock WITP...

No, never saw it downgrading. And never rotated depleted airgroups in rear areas to rebuild them.
It rather kept unit in the frontline services with only aircraft or two. And there were always hundreds of older aircraft types which it could use in emergency...

Ok, thanks anyway for such a fast answer [&o]

<t> Another question regarding AI.<br/>
In my campaigns versus AI there were situations where AI aircraft pool was drained<br/>
of certain type of aircraft. In one campaign, he had run short of Hurricane II and Spit Vsin India.<br/>
And instead of downgrading some of Hurr sqouadrons back to the ...

Weren't they in the WITP?!
If I recall correctly, they were included there too...

Sorry if this was answered in air thread, but I didn't found it.
Is it now possible to produce old aircraf types when new type become available? e.g. if I
want to produce Nells instead of Betty's...

<t> Didn't know that every nation needs it's own AI to function...<br/>
And I definitely can live without U-boats and raiders in AE. <br/>
Biu since I0m a raider fan, I'll miss them...<br/>
So, I am going to use Kuma and Katori class cruisers to harras shipping lanes. [:D]<br/>

Regarding those PT boat fixes... [&o]

<t> Well, since the Japan got the point in his last post, I have nothing further to say. <br/>
A few units that are absent woul'd certainly add some flavour, but the most important to me is to get <br/>
decent AI- which can react properly, make surprises and... not make stupid things all the time ...

Is there any way to add german pilot pool in the scenario editor?
We'll need them if we add two of the german raiders that historically operated in the Pacific...

<t> All those subs that Japan listed in post above were handed over to Japan and were not under command of BdU.<br/>
And the raiders had some success, like Komet's bombardment of Nauru or Kormoran's engagement with HMAS Sydney.<br/>
Yes, both of these events were prior the December 7th 1941, but ...
