On the lighter side of things... The Kaiten works somewhat and ironically late war is the only way any IJN sailor leaves a sub alive.

<t> The subs do have Kaiten currently listed as one of their weapons. Though the warhead may not be the ship killer I originally thought it was. Where I might have made a bigger error was letting the Kitikami class CL upgrade to where it carries kaiten only and nor Long Lance torps at all.<br/>

<t> I am in Feb 45 in my PBEM. One of the dec 8 DBB scenarios. The Ohka is being built/avaiable and I have e type betties in the field with them but they have not launched any strikes as of yet. <br/>
<br/>
Have done my first kami attacks (Frank A's) but not enough escorts to get through. Carrier ...

<t> Well then, the good news is, I have very many units with fairly high exp pilots. <br/>
<br/>
Thank you for the information. I should be able to convert any unit I wish now. <br/>
<br/>
Expecting an advance through the Aleutians any time so this may be a great help.<br/>
<br/>
I have also ...

<t> Jan 1945 and Kamikazes finally have come on line. The first day I noticed there was a 6 as the number of units available to convert. In my zeal I converted mostly naval units when most of the pilots I have trained in Low Nav are Army pilots. (Even converted a dedicated training unit, great job ...

<t> I can somewhat answer the Kamikaze thingy. Almost any plane can become a kamikaze. Not the transports. They switch over as a unit when available. Your opponent must be (top of page 175 of manual) 15 hexes by sea from Tokyo, Takao, or Saigon. And the date after Jan 1 1944. <br/>
<br/>
I am in ...

That was kinda what I was expecting to hear. Thank you for your reply.

Guess we are just lucky to be able to get the exp up cheaply on the fighter pilots.

<t> Can get their nav attack skill up to 70 easily enough but unlike their fighter counterparts I cannot seem to get their exp up to 70 very easily. <br/>
<br/>
I have some units that have been on nav patrol or ASW for 12 -18 months and their exp is around 60.<br/>
<br/>
Usually 30 days at 100 ...

And speaking of questions... What is the limit? Any danger of hitting it in this case?

<t> Ok then, thank you. Was hoping I found some new gem to use. Usually find one every few weeks or so here if I look around enough. And the best most useful ones lately have been on pilot training.<br/>
<br/>
Thanks for the reply and all the past posters who have helped me and every other reader ...

<r> Nope this is it. Just to see i released 50 at a time and it took over 10 clicks to get below 50. Wondering if i did this in game if I just sent 500 Pilots to the First Civ Div, or somewhere useful?<br/>

<t> PBEM opponent out of town so I was poking around and found a new button, I am not at all sure what its purpose is. Able to retire pilots in groups of 50, 10, or singly from the pilot reserve I believe it is.<br/>
<br/>
Have never used this function and am just wondering if I have been missing ...

Thanks for the replies. I think Bullwinkle put it best. I actually admire the game more thinking about it that way. At least I am sure my opponent has to put up with the same thing. Especially since those 4E beasties have to travel from further afar, at least for now.

<t> Thinking now fatigue never really does go down like damage, which can be repaired. Fatigue a reflection of hours flown? Still sure I remember resting units at sea and plane fatigue going down, just seems really slow at a base with more support. <br/>
<br/>
Changing AC types at the base always ...

<t> Hello all. Apr 44 and have not really sortied the left overs of KB for a long while but I would like the air groups to be in tip top shape for the things to come. <br/>
<br/>
Trying to get the fatigue levels of all the planes as close to none as possible. I know continuous ops at sea drive it ...

All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.

No expert on what all of it means but thought you all might be interested in a Dec 43 look. Banzai..<br/>

<t> I remember the ship I was currently on, either Belleau Wood or Tarawa, staying at Yokuska while training up on Camp Fuji (Yum Fuji burgers!) The Midway was still in service and home ported there. 1980's and this was the Midway from WWII. Sure its hull looked like a beat up used car, with a good ...

<t> Well to tell it from my JFB perspective; <br/>
Cities = points= resources. Supplies stockpile in cities.<br/>
<br/>
I do like to try and keep the major roads clear to transport units by rail where needed. Can only go into strategic mode in a city.<br/>

It takes forever to move over ...

<t> Hi all! Tim said I could poke my head in and say Hi.<br/>

Wow this is cool in here. So organised and well planned. All the staff seems task oriented, their areas are clean, well lit, and fully supplied. Look at the huge reference library and intel section. Everyone is so focused on what ...
