Soviet Bombing Issue

Gary Grigsby’s War in the East: The German-Soviet War 1941-1945 is a turn-based World War II strategy game stretching across the entire Eastern Front. Gamers can engage in an epic campaign, including division-sized battles with realistic and historical terrain, weather, orders of battle, logistics and combat results.

The critically and fan-acclaimed Eastern Front mega-game Gary Grigsby’s War in the East just got bigger and better with Gary Grigsby’s War in the East: Don to the Danube! This expansion to the award-winning War in the East comes with a wide array of later war scenarios ranging from short but intense 6 turn bouts like the Battle for Kharkov (1942) to immense 37-turn engagements taking place across multiple nations like Drama on the Danube (Summer 1944 – Spring 1945).

how the doctrine settings function ...

Any guides out there recent enough to be relevant?

I did gather that Soviet air base designations are no longer restrictions, just names.
They never were apart from only VVS/OSNAZ are for partisan supply and SAD disband and cannot get guards status. And this remains the case

Should I bother burning pilots as the Soviets with their early pre-war planes, or keep them in reserve until they can be swapped? The staggering one sided losses I see the early Soviets take seem pointless, just buffing the Luftwaffe experience and morale, right?

I would say yes so long as you are increasing the German single seat fighter fatigue and making some losses on them every turn. Ultimately they cannot sustain that whereas you can afford to lose lots of old bad aircraft you would leave in the pool anyway.

Do the air battalions resize automatically to regiments? I feel like I read somewhere in an AAR that doesn't happen now and people just disband them.
They still resize. Some disband SAD airbases (not regiments) as they feel it takes too long for them to autodisband

Other things to keep in mind (supply/support)?
Keep airgroups support need to less than that available on the airbase - usually 220 approx is the limit

Thanks!
