Trying to form large pilot squadrons

Post by MarioF »

Please help!!

I'm trying to make squadrons with a large numbers of pilots.
eg: 24 A/C with 48 pilots to keep fatigue down.

When I disband a squadron at a base with another squadron present, all pilots and A/c go into that unit. Now I have 1 squadron with
48 A/C and 48 pilots.. so far so good.

Now the next turn, I have that same squadron with 24 A/C ready, 24 A/C reserve, and 24 pilots???? and the experience levels have gone waaaay down. My pilots have disappeared. To the pilot pool? I Don't know.

However, sometimes when I do the exact same thing, I'll end up with 48 pilots and 24 A/C ready, and 24 Reserve (what I want).
If I move the unit to another base, I'll end up with 24 A/C ready,9 reserve, and 48 pilots.(again, what I want) Why does the game do the "disband squadron" function so erratically?

Youll be pleased to know that fatigue has been tweaked in WitP so that its not such the issue it is in UV. The game is not designed to have 48 pilots for 24 planes, there were plenty of planes, pilots were what nations were short on. In WitP you can have groups up to a size of 72 though.
