Reviewing Results of Air Phase
Is there any way to see which air missions (which air group running each mission) resulted in the operational losses/flak losses/a2a losses? I can only seem to find the total on the losses screen.
Any rules of thumb for rotating understrength air units to reserve (e.g. Less that 50% ac in air group, less than 10%)?
you'll need to look at the individual battle screens, the final tab will show you action by air group (usually split down into a number of smaller collection of planes).
rotating really is art not science. I tend to rotate at 50% for the Soviets, not to protect the air group as such but that it will often fill up with low experience pilots, who then just die and need to be replaced. Putting it in the reserve, the new pilots will train up to the NM (+ any Gds bonus), so set up a sort of rotation system around that. I'd say from 1942-44 you should have about 40% of the VVS in the reserve at any one time - after that your losses start to drop (better planes, less LW) and they can safely fill out on map.
for the axis, often just putting a unit to rest is all you need to do, it'll draw down the missing pilots and be in decent shape.
