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.

Do you have anything that shows the aircraft upgrade paths?

That is shown in the editor - same as stock.

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.
