Managing the Allied Air Power in 1941

Post by vettim89 »

Trying my hand at the 8 Dec Scenario vs AI. I have some questions.

1. Some of the RAF units are due for very early withdraw. Yet I can't seem to make them do it. Is there a time limit? Say if a unit is due for January withdraw, you can't do it in December?

2. All the USN/USMC units at PH are assigned to For Det Cent Pac Air HQ which does not arrive until May 1942. DO I need to transfer this units to Pacific Fleet HQ in order to rebuild them with replacements? Kinda miffed that the designers assigned all these units to a non-existaent Air HQ (Its coming but right now it does not exist)

3. I am very frustrated with the not separating out various models of aircraft that are in the pool multiple times by nation but lack a designation as to what belongs to who. For example: there are three PBY-5 models in my pool but there is no designation as to which are USN, which are Aussie, and which are Kiwi - just says PBY-5 three times

1. You can withdraw 59 days before the date.

2. No, a level 7 airfield with supplies negates the HQ effect.

3. PDU's on you can go to the upgrade screen to see the pool allocation.
Right click on the upgrade model, bottom left shows the production run and availability dates.
Haven't tried PDU's off, but the right click should work there also.

And you get political points if you withdraw the units early (at least I did for one of the Buffalo Sqdns in Singapore that had no aircraft left by late Jan 42).
