First playthrough as Japan is going well... in June 1942. All going well but having issues with American Subs and my long range naval attack.

1. ASW - What is the best ASW altitude for single engine bombers and float planes? 1,000? Max range?

2. Having issues with Enemy Ships getting through my ...

Tigrizzli,

Yokohama Ku U-1 has 6 aircraft and 5 ready pilots.
21st Ku T-1 Det has 9 aircraft and 12 pilots, tried to recombine with the below air wing but still cant add additional pilots.
21st Ku T-1 has 12 aircraft and 2 pilots.

BBFanboy, Sorry for not being clearer. I know how to go view pilots, however the Get New Pilot(s) on the unit card is grayed out and there is not button there to select. This only happens to my MAVIS units.

The game has been going well, now in mid February, but I have encountered one problem. My MAVIS planes are unable to "get new pilot(s)". I have attached three snapshots of the unit cards. I have switched them to max airfields, ensured they had over 20k supply, ensured their replacements are turned ...

RangerJoe,

Thanks again. The AAR is helpful. However, one thing I am not able to find is a good source for how to spend you PP as Japan. I already bought out of the LCU recommended in the tracker. So what to spend pp on next? I know I can spend PP on replacing leaders but feel at this point I ...

Thanks again Joe, a lot to think about.

Nice, thanks!

I have a few questions about ships that support in port areas and how to get them to support re-arming, repairing, etc. and whether they need to be just in the hex with loaded supplies, docked, disbanded, etc.

To get the support from the TF in the same port hex you need to (not 100% sure on 1-2 ...

Many thanks for your input fellows... very helpful

Thanks for your input Schatten.

Thanks, Chris.

First time through as Japan, and I have a few questions about Japanese research:

1. When starting research on the Rufe and moving to the A6M8, do you move to the A6M5 when all factories for the Rufe are repaired (30 out of 30) or after research is 100% (which moves it up one month)?

2. When do you ...

Thanks Sardaukar, I will have to try it.

Thanks for your feedback Chris, you helped me put some of the pieces of the puzzle together.

GetAssista and BBfanboy- Many thanks for your timely responses.

2. Glad to hear it was old info... good to have the latest and greatest. I really appreciate you all taking the time to help out a newbie. So does the fighter escort training at 10k still valid? Or did that change too?

3. I am ...

I am playing this game for the first time as Japan (on turn 2) and trying to wrap my arms around this huge beast called pilot training. I have attached two flow charts based on input from the Japan set-up matrix and comments from the forum. Needless to say I have a few questions:
