Sure. More than willing to. Prefer chs 155, but whatever. PM me.

<t> Ok, so let me understand this. As supreme commander I can:<br/>
<br/>
A) Order a chief petty officer to go from this squadron to another, or for that matter, I can grant him leave time.<br/>
<br/>
B) Tell a specific airplane (in a 1 plane group) to do a certain thing.<br/>
<br/>
C) Order ...

On another supply issue, I don't know why, but the base at Chumphon, on the narrow part of the Maylayan Peninsula, will not draw enough supplies when I request it to. I was unable to keep an airfield running there because there was no supply ...

Supply management requires more finesse in AE than it did in WITP. <br/>

As Andy stated you really should turn the "supplies required" down to minimum for all your bases. This topic has been covered before and explained in other ...

Turn off the supply draw for all bases you have it set to ON for and you supply situation will get back to normal in a few days<br/>

<r> Wake me up when supplies work. Top half is March 24th. Bottom half March 27th. Look at the supply demand at Gifu (where General Defense Army HQ is located). The "demand" there is 50,000 supply (25 for the base 25 for the HQ). Now look at the "available supply" at the bases surrounding it. Around ...

The screen shots are there, all you have to do is look. Of course you are free to have your opinion, but the truth is right in front of you.

It looks to me like their skill AND their EXP in the 70s. Which seems reasonable to me given that you stated they've been in combat for a couple months. What do you think it <I><s>[i]</s>should<e>[/i]</e></I> be? And on what criteria do you base ...

<t> Well, those are MY bombers. But you miss the point.<br/>
<br/>
15 hex maximum (normal) range for the B-17E. If you look, they are based at Dacca and flying night bombing missions to Rangoon 100% strength (none on rest). Every night, 15 hexes out and 15 hexes back. For several months straight ...

<t> Should be noted that in well over 100 missions, flying at near maximum range, at night, despite most of the bombers coming home damaged every night, I have only lost 5 total airplanes and not 1 crew. I find this hard to swallow.<br/>

Ed. Note the stats on the squadron commander. If his ...

57 to 2 B-17 lead. Virtually all the 57 shot down were Oscars (a few Zeros).<br/>

Firepower and speed are what matter on attack. 1 crew got 3 kills today!<br/>

<t> If there is more than 1 spot where this routine is and/or you can't go to it in a few minutes (and by a "few" I mean 2 or 3 tops) and check, then frankly you all aren't much for programmers. I mean back in the 60's we had "modularized code" and put comments in for what routines are what so we ...

<t> Should not matter what the "average" pilot skill is or even the individual pilots skill. It should be on the flight leader to get his flock where they need to be and on time to meet the bombers. And frankly pretty much anyone out of flight school can do that (except of course the leader of ...

Well regardless, fatigue says it was Wright and Blackwell that flew and 75% hits with that experience is something that should be looked at. Love how people always try to explain things away and then when it is actually looked at lo and behold there really WAS a problem.

Since your altitude was set for 100', they used straffing skill( it is easy to tell since you had some pilots gain some - they are in green in straff). Your straf skills are in the mide 30's to mid 40's - not terrible.

I should mention that a few turns ago I had about 80 SBDs with experience in the 70s and 80s achieve 19 total hits on a well reconed base from 4 hexes out. Oh, the above attack was on an unspotted (before this phase) undamaged TF at sea not docked in a port.

<r> That the air routine is inverted? By that I mean instead of (for example) a 70 experience pilot having a 70% chance to hit he has a 30% chance while a 30 experience pilot has a 70% chance?<br/>

I have seen far too many PBYs hitting with torpedoes on naval attack with experience below 20 ...
