i have a carrier-capable SBD unit on each of the CVEs and running ASW patrols just off noumea. will this turn carrier-capable units into carrier-trained units?

If the little things annoy you, maybe that's because the big things are going well.

RE: carrier-based to carrier-trained
Carrier-trained are only groups which start out on ships. This is one reason why it is not a good idea to swap around groups on CVs.
You can't train a carrier-capable into a carrier-trained.

RE: carrier-based to carrier-trained
Carrier capable DO NOT train up to Carrier trained!
Basing a 'carrier capable' unit on a CV will cause higher Op losses - the pilots have not been trained to land on a small moving airstrip [:D].

Don't worry about it. All that will happen is higher ops losses.
The joy of playing the Allies is that you have plenty of replacement planes and pilots. If a carrier capable plane flown by a non carrier trained pilot goes into the drink there are 20 more of each waiting to replace him.

RE: carrier-based to carrier-trained
That is one thing about arm-chair generals...just keep throwing troops at enemy. There are plenty of resources to build new ones.[;)]

Sounds like a certain Austrian former corporal and a city that was formerly known as Tsaritsyn...we know the result of having monomania.

The tracers look fine as a strafin' we go.

I find it very easy to send digital troops off to their death. IRL I am much more careful with the people assigned to me.

I think of it as a Darwinian system to weed out the poor pilots. The good ones will gain experience and the poor ones will be replaced by new inexperienced one. Thus goes the circe of life.[;)]
