<t>There is a known bug that seems to result in wildly mis-allocated pilots (some squadrons with a hundred pilots, others with none). It's possible that you are running into some version of this bug. I sure haven't heard of any example as severe as the one you describe though!<br/>

A short ...

<t>Well, I've been baffled by why my B-17 raids have been slacking off so badly lately. Thought it was the pilot mis-allocation bug, but I reckon it was actually the decreased repair rates.<br/>
<br/>
I concur that the repair rates need a tweak. Part of the problem, of course, is that, if the game ...

<t>I wish that there was some way of getting the type of ships you need from HQ back in the mainland. I'm playing a game where every single AV, AO and TK has been sent to me, along with endless MSWs, but I have only 5 CA's in the theater and no BBs.<br/>

I'm tempted to start escorting my ...

<t>Hmm, I've been wondering what was happening when I tried to load a batch of troops it seems to pick up only part of the unit(s). <br/>

<t>I'm not sure about my TCS, but I've got B-17's at Port Moresby with wild pilot distributions: 57 in one squadron, zero, two, and two in others. I don't really know how the pilots got maldistributed like that. It may be having an effect on my raids; my last strike on Rabaul had only 12 B-17's in ...

<t>I haven't seen any discussion about John B. Lundstrom's books on Naval Fighter Combat: "The First Team" and "The First Team and the Guadalcanal Campaign". <br/>
<br/>
I haven't read the first book, but the second book is the most detailed look at the Naval Fighter force, along with plenty of ...

<t>"For instance, the beaches on either side of Lunga are Japanese owned. Is this a situation which should be changed by sending out a partol to "capture" the beach, or is it no big deal?"<br/>
<br/>
One thing I noticed putting a base on Russel I. (just North of Lunga), I landed all engineers, no ...
