EVERY Pilot was individually researched and rated!!!!

Well done, I'm surprised it only took 4 years[:'(] 

*cough* methinks the good doctors making a supposition there *cough*

OH, the "turn your head and cough" type of research....

Research??? I though I had that covered after watching Pearl Harbor *cough*

I got a screenie of the base force TO&E. Alas, a readaable version is to big to load here. PM me if you want the zip. Professional it ain't, but it'll give what was requested.

WitP:AE has more named pilots than WitP, which in any case did a pretty good in that department. That said named pilots haven't been at the very top of the list of priorities - it's not like we've sifted through thousands of Efficiancy Reports to rate them all [:)]

Either way I'm sure the people around here would love to hear more of your first-hand impressions, Jim.

Becaause it was only a preview and therefore rushed, I didn't get into it much. However, waypoints gave me much more flesiblity and improved recon was a noticeable help. More routines were automated and I noticed early Allied planes, flown by good pilots performed marignally better than in thee original.

Don't give stock such a hard time my respect level has gone up in leaps and bounds since I got involved in this project
 
Decisions made that we disagreed with from the outside on the OOB were made conciously and for good reason - I know that much at least
 
There is a reason the AI doesnt really work with mods in stock...

Awesome work. A real gaming accomplishment, I have been spending extra time with the wife, just to build up the credits this game will require of my time.

With all of the new aircraft, is there a matrix that shows when different series will be avialable?

Not that I'm aware of - gives the player something fun to do! [:D]

I recall spending hours building my production plan in excel for stock - that is before my opponents started insisting on using PDU. If you're planning on playing with PDU on - then tracking the air unit upgrades does not matter.
