Is there a cap on total number of pilots as in WITP? I think it was 20,000 initially and one upgrade improved that to 30,000. Just wondering because if so many new air units are being added, won't that affect the cap on pilots?

Blimp's, so the Large fixed Blimp bases like Tillamook, are they in game?

Will the different countries have the correct ranks for pilot pools ie RN will have either RM or naval ranks for air units instead of RAF & Can will use RAF rankings instead of what looked to be US ranks? Will some of the lower RAF ranks now be available like Flt Sgt? Will the Brit/CW naval air units have their own pools separate from land units?

Please direct questions pertaining the OOB of carrier- and other shipbased aviation to the Navy Team. I won't repeat this. For at least the next 24 hours.
As a late war Japanese player.....I'm not sure Kamikazis do work......the only way to get through the cap is to fly them higher than the Allied aircraft can fly(gamey, yes I know).........but you can't fly over Corairs/Mustangs.......so the Allies can cover an Invasion force with LRCAP from land bases no hits will be achieved....this has happened again and again in my game with Speedy........what we need is to be able to fly Kami's at normal alt.....with some chance of getting through to at least have a run on the shipping..........ORIGINAL: TheElf
OTS. Kamikazes have not been touched. Read some AAR's later in the war, they work. One thing we did that may help is alter AAA so that during attacks only AAA in the quadrant being approached may fire.

Will we be able to destroy aircraft fragments? Something like what was done for the LCUs? Sometimes a fragment from a carrier group will make it to a land base after its carrier is sunk. These units cannot combine with any other unit and they never grow. I would like to be able to destroy them. Also, sometimes you evac a base and have to leave behind some damaged aircraft. These aircraft never repair and the parent Sq can never reach its full strength. These fragments sit there until the enemy takes that base. I can think of other reasons I would want to destroy fragments but this it too long already.
CAP has been significantly altered from what you are likely playing with. This has not been tested yet.ORIGINAL: fabertong

It's even worse when the parent upgrades and the fragment doesn't (when it's too far away from base...)

You know what I don't get? I've been asking for this since the Alfa testing of WitP and for some reason it appears impossible to do.[&:]
