4. using the 'resize to fit ship' to create a massive single units to increase pilot training numbers
For Japan, the button doesn't do anything unless you run a turn with it toggled on. Also, the air unit has to be on board a ship whose aircraft-capacity exceeds the total number of aircraft on it. This procedure doesn't work for the Allies?I have tested that "button" as the allies and I don't think any of the groups re-size, so it was interesting to read how well it works for the Japanese.

Pushed to the limit is also pointless, since land-based aviation support for the Japanese is very limited. I expanded a few float groups to 24, same for a couple of small carrier groups, and find I've pretty much maxed out my aviation support in the HI. The resize feature is useful, but also self-limiting.

1. Extracting the pilots with high defence ratings from transport aircraft and transferring them to a fighter squadron to provide them with some A2A training before use in frontline fighter units
3. Putting floatplane units on sweep trainig to create a pool of pilots that can be used in fighter squadrons
6. similar to 3 and 4. As Japan - Taking some of the very small ship based FP's, resizing on a CS to enlarge from 1 to 24 planes and training pilots for use on other planes (sweep or bombing training)

I tested your recipe on the Hornet's fighter group, and it is specifically set to not re-size. If memory serves, I think that all of the US groups are similarly restricted.
I will try it with some Brit groups at the earliest opportunity since I tend to steal their air groups to Colombo before the ships cycle back to the European theater. It seems I have been doing it wrong. [:(]
Thanks for the tip! [:)]
