Ah well this mod isn't based on EOS 6.19. 6.19 gave the Brits 25 pilots per month. This mod gives them 80 per month. That's more than triple the number of pilots. Add in the monthly reinforcements and you end up with about 120 new British pilots coming on-stream every month. Then add in the US Army pilots which you should have access to from the units evacuated from the Phillipines and brought back up to strength... Britain has more than enougb, it really does.
The data on Spitfire replacement rates is based on historical rates and thus not something I'm keen to see change too much. One thing I do see a good argument for is bringing the Spit VIII and Thud rates forward in reaction to improved Japanese development cycles.
BTW, news so far... I've added 4 Essex Class, brought the 2 British CVs and 2 CVLs forward by between 18 and 12 months and also added another British CvL. I've also added 4 Fijis and a dozen Tribals which enter the game with two additional British BBs ( Lion and Temeraire) in early 42.
Between the increased pilot pools, the earlier Spitfires and Thunderbolts, the additional british CVL and earlier addition of other CVs and CVLs the British get a massive boost in late 43/early 44. Combine this with the Americans who get an additional 4 Essex and 4 to 6 other BBs ( at least 2 of which are Iowas) as well as additional divisions ( I've settled on an extra parachute, 1 extra tank and 1 extra infantry divisions). The Brits are getting a full division as well. Well with all of those changes the Allies are going to have an embarrassment of riches coming their way in 1943 and 44. Sure the RAF won't be overflowing with pilots etc but if you are willing to wait a couple of months you can safely ship squadrons to India via the Level 6 shipping channels ( and I'm not allowed to attack them except by sub while they are in these channels) and bolster the forces in India with large numbers of US Army squadrons.
In addition the Allies are getting P51s from late 1942 and Corsairs on their carriers from the beginning of 43 ( and we all know how much of an ueber-plane the corsair is)...
The Allies in India shouldn't have much problem mounting major aerial offensives throughout 1943 and 44 so long as the stiffen the British forces with a couple of Allied squadrons to increase their pilot pool. The Allies in this game are going to be in a much stronger position in India relative to stock and I haven't seen you having too much trouble handling Pauk's forces there
