Yes. They will be happy also.

One example: 346thBG/461stBS. Most Allied air units are designated by squadron.

So, basically you're at least doubling the number of air units. [X(] Is this factored into the maximum number of air units allowed on a base?

I did not realize there was a limit on air units. I just thought the limits applied to number of aircraft.

It was previously mentioned (2 or 3 weeks ago) that there is a hard limit. This was discovered to the obvious chagrin of the AE team member who discovered and posted it. I asked if the limit would be removed before release and the question has yet to be answered.

I didn't realize that the limit may be removed. Question about the limit. What is it based on? I recall some discussion about it earlier but can't remember. Is it based on AF size? Is it dependent on the particular airbase?
Thanks for the response. [:)]

Yes there is now a limit on numbers of air units at a base also. I dont understand the formula or the logic behind it either. I had 61 planes in 21 squadrons at a level 4 airfield (Chungking - I was trying to get all my air units in 1 place so I could sort them out) and it was over loaded.
Dont ask me why [&:]
Edit: One of them guys with the Matrix logo in his avatar suggested it had something to do with the numbers of Majors and light Colonels in the O club (Im guessing he didnt understand it either).

Think about the civil war for airbase resources. Every squadron needs its own facilities.

I didn't mean to imply that it may be removed, only that I
asked if it will be removed. Based on YH's subsequent answers, I'm not sure if he has received an answer about it's removal one way or the other.

Ok, thanks. It's fine either way to me. Personally, I think it would make more sense if there was a limit on the number of aircraft, not air units. But, I like the idea of an upper limit.

Maybe it's because 60 aircraft in 2 units generally need less manpower and resources than 60 aircraft in 5 units?

Valid thought, Dixie. Makes sense too. Either way, I like the idea.

That's already accounted for in terms of aviation support troops required. For additional units the only added burden is purely administrative.

Will there be a "stand down" option for air units set to night operations?
Bump... and adding the question "will there be a "training" option for units set to night operations?"

At this time there is no difference in the training. Pilots dont have a night missions experience rating.

Will aircraft weapons upgrade if set so in editor? For exemple if i set a Torpedo to upgrade to another better one, the aircraft will use the last one after the set date?

Will the Allies get more dedicated Recon aircraft?? I also hope that the 12 plane squadrons can be broken down to 3 or 4 plane groups.
Can a partial list of the aircraft types be posted?? I know that some B-17s were used for Recon roles. I get frustrated as the Allied player in stock and then in various mods not having enough Recon dedicated aircraft besides the fighter variants.
