Use the "Request Veteran" option to draw pilots from TRACOM.

Just a question about all these changes you plan to make to air production. How long do you think this will take to make all these changes and have everything producing, 3 years?? LOL

If said in jest, ignore my comment. But it does not take that long to make all those changes. In fact, I find them quite moderate. My personal prefence would be 20 Zeros less and 30 Oscars more, but that is merely a preference

Okay, I am sure it would not take that long but with all the changes are you sure the supply expenditure is affordable for the Japanese? Aren't Zeros the better fighter plane? I would think you'd prefer the Zeros over the Oscars. While talking about Oscars I assume the c class is the best one though it would appear that the class a has much longer range.

Zeroes are for carrier capabale IJN squadrons, and the oscars are meant for land based IJA squadrons. Both plane types cannot equip the squadrons of the "other" service arms.

I always thought that there were both land based and Carrier based Zeros in War in the Pacific?

There are LB zeroes in the game. What I was trying to say was that the oscar equipped squadrons cannot ever use zero. They are simply incompatible and that is why there is a need for oscar (or later replacement plan types) even though zero is a much better plane than oscar.

A6M2 is an IJN plane and can only equp IJN fgroups. You have a lot of IJA groups and for those you will need Oscar to start as it is your best IJA plane.

@findmeifyoucan:

You're correct, there are IJN land-based fighter units operating the A6M2 (and the Claude early in the war pre-upgrade). For the most part, these units start in the Marshall islands and Taiwan.

About to start re-reading old threads ... I a$$-u-me some of these are still relevant. Would this be a good one?

sure ... there are a number of these.  they seem to recycle every month or two.  [;)]
