Question regarding Named Pilots

Post by DDLAfan »

Hi,

I read the word doc that came with the patch, but I'm still not sure how to extract the Named Pilots from my pool. Can someone here tell me how to do that. Thanks.

It's done by the game when pilots have to be drawn from the pool (either automatically or manually by you). When assigning pilots to a unit, it's rndom chance whether you get a named pilot or not.

On the topic.
What happens when you have 0 'normal' pilots and like 60 named.
Are the named always picked or it's still random between named and green?

From my experience it is still random. I'm used to start my turn by checking my pilot pool (at 0 for both IJAAF and IJNAF) and give units the few pilots that may be available. Sometimes I notice that once I have affected pilots, there is still 1 in the normal pool, and the named pool has decreased by one.

IIRC Don said it isn´t working properly and will be removed with the next patch (which is to come soon hopefully! [:D][:D]).
